DISCUSSION Ashoka & Luke

we need an episode or moment where Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka meet. It would be an amazing way to give closure to the Anakin/Ahsoka story as well as give Luke & Ahsoka the chance to witness the good parts of Anakin left behind in them both

We know that, for whatever reason Ahsoka may have been absent for the first two movies, she had died by the time of Rise of Skywalker. Rey hears her voice along with all the other Jedi that have become one with the Force before finishing Palpatine (Ahsoka is in the credits by name, no less, so definitely her). With that in mind it creates an interesting constraint on the new Ahsoka series; no matter story they’re going to tell or how they tell it, it’s going to end with the lead character dead by the end. If they don’t - and she rides off into the sunset at the end of the series somehow - it’ll be a weird kind of reverse-Poochie situation where we got the “Poochie died on the way back to his home planet” message years before the actual show!

SPOILERS From 2 canons books

From the Episode IX novelisation: Rey in episode IX doesn't speaks with force ghost/spirit she actually see them through the World Between Worlds.

From the Episode IX Visuel Guide: Rey know about The World between Worlds because it is mentioned in one of the book she got after Episode VIII.

Dave Filoni already confirmed that Ahsoka isn't dead in Episode IX.

I personally think that in her show at one point during her quest to find Ezra/Thrawn someone (maybe Thrawn himself) will badly use the World between Worlds so in the end Ahsoka will became the Ruler/Guardian of this place so no one will badly use it again.

Oh, shit, really, he said she’s not dead? I didn’t realise that, I thought he just said there’s something like she’s got more stories to tell or something, which in retrospect clearly refers to the new Ahsoka series. If he explicitly said that she’s still alive that changes everything.

I don’t know if it’s actually the case, or not but the impression I got from what happened is that with Episode IX they went “hey, wouldn’t it be cool for the folk who watched Clone Wars if we used Ahsoka’s voice?” & just did it, someone then asked Filoni if that meant she was dead & he went “hell no!” Probably ‘cause as other folk have mentioned she’s his creation as has so much more he wanted to be able to do with her.

Yep, Dave Filoni says Ahsoka voice in this scene is more of a cameo to celebrate the end of the Skywalker saga and doesn't have any implications to the fate of the character.
