[Star Wars] Why didn't Luke return to Yoda right after the Cloud City incident?

Couldn't Luke return to finish his training right away or at least bring Yoda back from Dagobah so Luke can train while helping the Rebellion?

Well, *right away* he was probably more concerned with getting a replacement hand. And he could have gone back to Dagobah, but that would be a bit of a departure from his character. He left Dagobah in the first place because his friends were in danger. Until he felt reasonably confident that his friends were no longer in danger why would he have left them alone?

He couldn't have taken Yoda anywhere though. Despite his carry-on size, Yoda is pretty good at not doing things he doesn't want to do, and there's no way Luke could have overpowered him to take him off of the planet. He chose Dagobah to hide his strong force presence from Vader and the Emperor, so even if Luke were able to convince him to leave, the Sith would have found them almost immediately.
