CT Luke Crashing on Dagobah

The Force works through coincidences. That's been obvious since 1977.

 

QUI-GON: "Our meeting was not a coincidence. Nothing happens by accident. You are strong with the Force, but you may not be accepted by the Council."

 

I always just figured that Yoda knew he was coming, so he intentionally guided Luke or his ship, or both towards where he lives. As we soon see, Yoda clearly was prepared for his arrival. I think it's entirely realistic that Yoda could and would do something to ensure Luke doesn't end up on the other side of the planet or something.

 

uh! omg! stop stop!!

you need to stop talking sense! How dare you!!!

 

My interpretation for a long time has been is that it was the will of the Force that Luke would crash not far from Yoda’s home. I imagine Luke didn’t understand that the Force was guiding him toward a particular direction as he descended into the atmosphere.
