A brand new Ahsoka Tano recon could have massive implications for Star WarsIncluding one major change to Return of the Jedi. Star Wars Just released his latest Canon video game, Star Wars OutlawsAnd with this release came some very interesting updates too Star Wars Movies and TV shows. especially, Outlaws Partially revealing Ahsoka's whereabouts during the original trilogy, which has long been a mystery.
In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Star Wars Outlaws Confirmed when the Purge of Mandalore happened, indicating that the tragedy occurred in 3 ABY, a full year earlier Return of the Jedi. Not only is this a significant update to the Star Wars timeline, but this also means that Ahsoka was training Sabine Wren during the first two movies of the original trilogy, as Ahsoka Confirmed that the training was completed only after the purification of Mandalore. Even more significantly, though, This suggests what Ahsoka's role might have been Return of the JediAnd it blows the movie wide open.

Ahsoka & Luke may have met before Return of the Jedi
While Ahsoka was training Sabine during A new hope And The empire strikes back, It is entirely possible that Ahsoka was working with the Rebellion during Return of the Jedi. Star Wars Has already confirmed both that Hara was working with the Rebel Alliance at the time and that Ahsoka and Hara remained in contact during that same period. In light of this, it is reasonable to assume that Ahsoka could have played some role in the rebellion, as she would undoubtedly have wanted to help bring an end to the Empire (and the Sith).
The Book of Boba Fett Certainly suggested Ahsoka and Luke met before the show.
The Book of Boba Fett Certainly suggested Ahsoka and Luke met before the show. After all, Ahsoka knew how to bring Grogu to Luke, and Ahsoka and Luke seemed to have a close relationship, as they chatted like old friends and were quite comfortable around each other. This is especially important for Return of the Jedilike, When Ahsoka said that Luke was like his father, Luke didn't look confused or surprised. Presumably, this means that Ahsoka and Luke have discussed Anakin before, which raises the question: how much did Luke know about Anakin beforehand? Return of the Jedi?
Luke may have known a lot more about Anakin than we thought
If Ahsoka and Luke had met before Return of the JediAhsoka would have had the opportunity to tell Luke all about his father. In fact, Ahsoka still felt considerable sentimentality about Anakin at the time, as evidenced in the Ahsoka Show. It would make sense that she would want to share those memories with Anakin's son. If this is the case, Luke could have known so much more about his father's history in Return of the Jedi As it was initially.
Luke's assertion that he was a Jedi like his father before him would make so much more sense.
This would also explain why Luke has such a massive shift in perspective between The empire strikes back And Return of the JediWent from screaming that it was impossible for Darth Vader to be his father to believing that Vader was redeemed. Also, Luke's assertion that he was a Jedi like his father would make so much more sense. While Obi-Wan said that Anakin was a cunning warrior, Ahsoka could have told Luke about the Jedi Anakin. Truly, this one brief moment in Star Wars Outlaws has major implications for Return of the Jedi And Star Wars more widely.
