You said "I went back in time" and "then I was in another dimension/universe"
but none of that actually happened.
Will Luke and Ahsoka's first meeting ever be depicted at all?
- Thread starter Gaith
- Start date
but none of that actually happened.
Yeah, that got a bit silly, by that point.
Kota could have died shortly before then though - or just disappeared.
Then there's Ferus Olin who left Alderaan too... so it was clearly getting to be a bit of an issue...
Oh, and Qu Rahn - the retcon there being 'he stopped truly being a Jedi by then' - as I recall.
I really expected Luke and Ahsoka's first meeting to have already been shown in one of these shows. I don't imagine them hooking up though. I did kinda love the idea of Ahsoka hooking up with Starkiller.
It doesn't matter what Luke does. He's dead.
*Kota exploring the Yavin jungle*
Kota: What an interesting looking caterpillar! Wonder what it tastes like. Nom nom nom.
ERGGGGH, UUNNNNH. Oh this was a mistake. BLAACCH, GAKK.
*immediately dies*
Well, now the Filoni is in charge of the creative stuff at Lucasfilm, I'm sure we'll be seeing Luke and Ahsoka's dramatic first meeting any new year now! It'll surely be a key scene in the upcoming Filoni-directed Mando and Friends vs. Thrawn crossover movie that's definitely happening - am I right, folks?
The Hollywood Reporter: "Formally announced projects like Filoni’s movie that would’ve seen characters from the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka,and The Skeleton Crew deal with the threat of Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), has been placed on the backburner."
Not sure where they're getting the idea that the Filoni movie is on the infamous back burner, unless it's just that things like the Deadline article don't mention it.
(But it's nice to see THR keeping alive the tradition of assigning Star Wars articles to people who don't know a whole lot about Star Wars. In this case, someone who doesn't capitalize Force, can't spell Wookiee, and thinks "the dark side and the light" are people.)

And he had no template for anything different.
He knew from personal experience that his way could work, and he knew for a fact that the old way failed. Why, then, would he subsume his way to the old?
Because he didn't have any feedback to learn a new way. Creating whole new structure and organizations is difficult because he also is expected to provide a measure of service to the New Republic.
The expectations are outrageously high.
This reminds me of the time I couldn't convince someone that two plus three equals five. They insisted there was no such thing as the number three, only the number two by another name, and, therefore, two plus three equals four. 
As I just said above: his feedback was that his way worked, and the old ways didn't. The Jedi Masters Obi-Wan and Yoda straight-up told him that appealing to personal attachments didn't serve the Light Side of the Force, only the Dark, so he shouldn't try to win Vader back to the Light on account of being his son. But he tried anyway, and succeeded, where he absolutely would have failed had he listened to them. And, if one wants to take Filoni's slop into account, after meeting the ex-Jedi Ahsoka, and hearing her firsthand take of how the old Jedi Order went awry, he had even more feedback that his more emotionally balanced and healthy approach was better than the old Order's dogmas.
In other words: two plus three equals five.
