I’ve recently been made aware that a lot of younger Star Wars fans (understandably) aren’t aware that Sebastian Shaw was the original ghost of Anakin, and that Hayden was edited onto Sebastian’s body in 2004. So this is for those who might not know! Meta

Unless, of course, he saw Clone Wars footage of his father, which can easily be put into any Star Wars comic for some reason.

That’s entirely possible that they’ll do that, especially if Luke meets Ahsoka. She has that training holocron of him that she showed Ezra in Rebels. I think even if Luke didn’t know what Anakin looked like before, he immediately sensed that it was his father standing alongside Obi-wan and Yoda.

What if Luke completed his Jedi training using the holocron of Anakin?

That would be a really cool connection

The general audience doesn’t want to be there

I now want to see an edit where Anakin comes back as the blocky animated version of himself from TCW.

In Rebels, Ezra finds a holocron with a younger Anakin, Ezra might have met Luke between Empire Strikes Back and ROTJ, and maybe Ezra described Anakin to Luke... that would make an interesting story

How would he meet him? Wasn't Ezra stranded in the Unknown Regions?

That we know of...

u/SchnazzButNot Mar 23 '21

Well... if he met Luke, that means he most likely met Ahsoka, and if he met Ahsoka, they most likely wouldn't be making a show about her since it's about finding Ezra and Thrawn

Ezra is missing or dead during the whole OT period dude.

u/cutler_joseph Jedi Mar 23 '21

Probably just missing. If he died I think at the end of Rebels they’d say he was found dead instead of the two going to look for him.

It was confirmed he survived the jump, and it's basically confirmed he's still alive in 10ABY as well.

u/cutler_joseph Jedi Mar 23 '21

Yeah and with Thrawn’s name being mentioned in other media post-empire it wouldn’t make sense for Ezra to not be around too.

u/DryTransportation Ezra Bridger Mar 23 '21

and plus, it'd be silly for them to have sabine wren say at the end of rebels "ezra is still out there, and it's time to bring him home" or whatever if when they found him, he was just an old rusty skeleton that's been dead for 10 long years. it'd make sense from an in-universe point-of-view but makes zero sense for a tv show. he's most definitely alive, I assume he'll be found in the ahsoka series and then they'll have him appear more often in the future

u/cutler_joseph Jedi Mar 23 '21

Yeah exactly. I honestly think that the Ahsoka episode of the Mandalorian was hinting at her looking for him without saying it directly. It just makes sense that she’d ask for the location of Thrawn since I doubt imperials would know where Ezra is but they would more than likely know where Thrawn is and I would assume they would be at the same place or at least know where each other is. So she could have been looking for him indirectly in that episode.
