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.

YES
That's not feedback on what will work, only what didn't. It would take trial, risk and failure, and Luke was under pressure to succeed. (Cue Queen song).
I get what your insisting but your insisting he has the right answer for organizational change because of one experience and I a bad example and I'm doubting that significantly.
Yeah, I see it a lot when non-nerd media does Star Trek especially, and it drives me crazy. Especially if they try to play themselves off as a fan, but everything they say about it is wrong.
They're two of the franchise's most popular characters, there's no way we're not going to see more of them. We already have a second season of Ahsoka on the way, and I'm sure Luke will pop up in some form when we get more stories set at a point where he's alive, and possibly even after since we already saw him as a Force ghost in The Rise of Skywalker.
If Ahsoka S2 underperforms on D+, Bob Iger, or whoever at Disney wields veto power, may well say "no more live action Tano." If it does well, however, and Filoni gets the go-ahead to make a live-action Ahsoka, Mando and Friends vs. Thrawn movie, we'll obviously see more of her, and they'll have to make a decision about how to handle Luke/Leia/Han at that point - either keep him mostly off screen, do CG fakery, or break the emergency glass and recast.
Outside of the above, Luke/Leia/Han's futures are more uncertain. If any of the Starfighter and/or the Rey movie or the Simon Kinberg post-ST projects take off, there could be no reason to make much of the classic Big Three for some time. Eventually, however, even bonfires fizzle out, and Disney will always want to make money, so at some point, someone will most likely decide to give those three household names another try.
Once upon a time, even popular franchises didn't bend over backward to keep using the same character over and over after decades. The definition of diminishing returns. Luke's last appearance on BOBF was appalling.
It's time to put Luke on a shelf. Fortunately, Hamill seems done with it.
Hopefully Ahsoka will follow after second two of her misbegotten series. But I'm sure she'll kick around the Mandoverse at least a little as long as that nonsense keeps going.
