I watched Star Wars IV-VI this past week and while I was watching a New Hope I noticed something. In the first part of the movie when Luke is living on Tatooine with his aunt and uncle he seems very interested in the Rebellion and wants know more when C3PO mentions it. He also wants to help Obi-Wan because he has "no love for the Empire". What confuses me though is when he is talking to his uncle he wants to put in his application for the academy in the current year, but his uncle wants him to wait. Wouldn't the academy though put him into imperial service? Or is their a rebel academy at this point?
Luke also mentions two of his friends going off to the academy in his conversation with his uncle, one of whom we see later on Yavin 4. I don't know if that means that there is a rebel academy or Biggs graduated the academy and then left imperial service to join the rebellion.
