The reason OB1 thought Luke was the last hope was HE THOUGHT SKYWALKER 3
DIED ON ALDERAN!!!  He obviously knew he'd left her on Alderan and
DIDN"T KNOW she was the Princess Leia  (or didn't know that she was
on the Battle Station and was rescued... less likely).  Yoda, being 
more sensitive to the force, could feel a 3rd skywalker.  Apparently
Yoda clued Ben in during their conversation at the end of TESB.

NOTE: THE YODA-0B1 Ghost conversation in TESB kills the theory that the
ghosts are all in Luke's mind.  Yoda talked with 0B1 after Luke took off...
