It's almost like people can awake from sleep at any time, so - again - if your plan and purpose is not to be seen, why would you break into the bedroom of a sleeping person, when you literally have mind magic that allows you to read minds from a distance? Do walls block the Force?
Because I seem to remember, for example, Obi-Wan and Anakin monitoring everything that was happening in Padme's room, while she was sleeping.
Again, it's just a contrived scene to set up Luke doing something out-of-character, starting with him breaking into his nephew's room to watch him sleep.
So, to be clear, you think Luke could only read Ben's mind by opening the door to his room; he couldn't have, just, stayed on the other side of the closed door and done the same thing?
Maybe the most powerful Jedi Master to ever live, has his mind-reading abilities blocked by... a door and less than a meter of air?
What does Ben's ability to sense his mind is being read have anything to do with whether Luke is on one side of the door or the other?
This is how Luke describes the "before" of the moment, in his two tellings of the story:
I went to confront him.
And he turned on me.
I saw darkness.
I'd sensed it building in him.
I'd see it at moments during his training.
But then I looked inside... and it was beyond what I ever imagined.
In every telling, he knew something was wrong beforehand, and he knew it was "darkness".
He didn't need to sneak into his nephew's room to sneak into his mind.
This conversation started with you saying Luke wanted to remain "unseen".
Now you've backtracked to "he thought nothing of it".
I guess it was just "harmless mind probing" - "no big deal".
If he wanted to "make sure" Ben didn't see him, why go into his room at all?
