Despite Yoda's warnings about the dangers of the dark side, it was the Jedi master himself who was falling in The Empire Strikes Back, not Luke.
Luke Skywalker may have struggled with the dark side in The Empire Strikes Back, but it was actually Yoda who was in danger of falling. As unbelievable as that may sound, there is quite a bit of evidence to suggest that Yoda was indeed falling to the dark side, fulfilling the very warning he gave Luke. Viewing Yoda's character through this lens recontextualizes all of his scenes with Luke and adds more depth to the overarching story of the original Star Wars trilogy.
Jedi Don't Deal In Absolutes - But Yoda Did "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." These were Obi-Wan Kenobi's words to Anakin on Mustafar, but Yoda showed that even a Jedi Master could fall into this trap. Yoda's dark side warning to Luke was right, explaining how negative emotions could easily lead a Jedi down the wrong path.
