If you think too much about Star Wars you find some really dumb storytelling. Yoda and Obi Wan muse together about Luke being their only hope (of course then we find out "no there is another") but instead of spending the first 18 years of his life training him to be a super Jedi (which canon has now informed us that training must begin early or else dire consequences could arise) they let him work as a water farmer.
Then just throw him straight to the wolves risking the fate of the whole galaxy. I mean why the hell doesn't Obi Wan just raise him in the first place if he's living there in exile anyway. Or why not go to Dagobah with Yoda.
It's almost as if they have no plan at all for how to get Luke ready to defeat Vader and the empire. Only by pure dumb luck and disobedience does Luke defeat them. Yoda almost dies of old age before training luke for goodness sakes.
Yoda:Hidden, safe, the children must be kept.
Obi-Wan Kenobi:We must take them somewhere where the Sith will not sense their presence.
Yoda:Hmm... Split up, they should be.
Senator Bail Organa:My wife and I will take the girl. We've always talked about adopting a baby girl. She will be loved with us.
Obi-Wan:And what of the boy?
Yoda:To Tatooine. To his family, send him.
Obi-Wan:I will take the child and watch over him.
Yoda:Until the time is right, disappear we will.
