Will Luke and Ahsoka's first meeting ever be depicted at all?

[Set Harth]

Where the hell would they have even gotten that idea from?

Cognitive impairment.

Once upon a time, even popular franchises didn't bend over backward to keep using the same character over and over after decades.

They're not bending over backward. Whole shows don't use the character at all. It's just that the direction of the overall plot in a particular part of the timeline ultimately necessitates the character's inclusion at some point. People moaning "I'm sick of this character, they should just go away" aren't considering in-universe factors at all.

Luke's last appearance on BOBF was appalling.

No.

Hopefully Ahsoka will follow after second two of her misbegotten series.

You'd think she'd get at least five seconds.

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.

No one is making you watch.

Plenty of other people are watching and loving it. Why isn't that good enough?

Why would I care what other people are watching and loving? Seriously....?

I mean in regards to the shows you dismiss as a waste.

And yes, seriously.

I don't care even a tiny bit that there are people that like bad TV shows. This isn't news. I guess in some abstract way, I'd prefer it if all bad shows were unpopular so they'd go away and high quality would reign. But I'm not that unrealistic.

nor should you care one bit that there are people (like me!) who dislike stuff you like.

Spoiler alert: I'm not the guy at Disney who decides what shows make it on the air. So my dislike of it won't affect your enjoyment of it one bit.

Sure, if I had my druthers, those bad shows would cease to exist. I don't have that power, so you're free to care as little about my opinion as I do about those others out there who do like the show.

 

[fireproof78]

Can we define bad shows?

So if you don't like it it should exist, and screw all the thousands or millions of people who do enjoy it?
There's lots of stuff that I don't like, but I'm not about to say that the people who enjoy it shouldn't be able to see it just because I don't like it. I can't stand Adam Sandler's comedies, but I'm not about I'm going to say that people who enjoy them shouldn't be allowed to see them.

I would like to see when Ahsoka found out that Anakin has kids, and her actually meeting them. Leia probably knew of Ahsoka before since Ahsoka was tied to Bail's rebel movement. But Luke finding out would be something after he confronted Vader over Endor. Plus we don't yet know when Ahsoka came back, or when she started training Sabine. That would be before the war ended, but there is a large grey area from the end of Rebels to after Endor that is unclear.

 

[Set Harth]

Technically the end of Rebels is after Endor.

It was one of Filoni's biggest mistakes to have Ahoska survive the Clone Wars. Filoni is clearly way too smitten with the character to be objective, which is why she's stuck around the franchise past her expiration date. We got her in Rebels and now the vastly-inferior live-action version has been foisted upon us. While I enjoyed "Twilight of the Apprentice", maybe that would have been a good time to kill her. But instead, she lingers.

And her survival just asks too many questions and poses too many logical leaps. If she was really knocking about during the OT, why didn't she make herself known to Luke, especially since she was involved in early Rebel cells? None of it really makes sense but Filoni doesn't care, he just wants his pet project around as much as possible.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Ahsoka's easily among the best Star Wars characters since the OT characters were invented, in the same league as Qui-Gon, Maul, and Rey, too.

Gotta disagree, Ahsoka is one of my favorite characters, and I've really enjoyed the way she has evolved through the different eras.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I also loved Ahsoka and I find her journey through the Saga the most fascinating of all of the characters. I would argue that her decision not get involved with Luke's training a curious one. I think there's more depth in that decision than the expectation that she would she involve herself with him. She has complex feelings about Anakin and that obviously extends to Luke and Leia.

None of those characters you mention by name are really that good.

it straight up makes no sense in the way that retroactive continuity never does. When you write something decades later, it often doesn't slot in neatly with what came before. And any kind of twisting and bending over backward to make it fit is just that: desperate and contrived.

You can make up all the EU-esque justifications, but it makes no sense on its face because it was never meant to be there in the first place.

It's a human thing called empathy.

So, our opinions differ. Fans' opinions differing, that happens all the time. Big whoop.

In any case, shows with Ahsoka aren't going to cease to exist. Those of us who like the character will continue to enjoy the shows we have, and hopefully more coming. Those who don't, well, don't watch them.

I've seen that lacking amongst science fiction and fantasy fans.

 

[Crewman6]

No, it isn't. I have plenty of empathy for my fellow humans. That doesn't extend to giving a flying fig what TV shows people like. That ain't empathy. Gimme a friggin' break.

I'd suggest if you do actually care about such things, you direct your "empathy" to far more worthy subjects.
