That said, we know Ahsoka, Rangers, Mando and maybe even Book of Boba are set to āculminate in a climactic story eventā. I think that whatever it is will be amazing, but I wonder if this will be yet again another pre-epilogue event. Perhaps Ahsoka becomes āthe Whiteā after/during that?
In my mind, the epilogue was set shortly after the Empireās defeat maybe at Jakku - it has the feeling of relief, new-found hope, the arrival of a New Republic ship and x-wings signalling a new era for Lothal. This isnāt a rational reason at all, but just because of the vibe it has I hope we donāt push it too far back.
You speak of head-tails, I wonder if her transformation into her Rebels epilogue appearance could result in the longer head tails. Just a thought, could be symbolic of her gaining a new sense of life/knowledge to have her lekku/montrals be more full of life. Would go with the appearance change of her gaining the staff and white attire.
Itās canon that togruta head-tails grow longer with age (I like this a lot) and Ahsoka had hers long throughout rebels, this retcon would seem really odd to me.
Iām imagining all the Jedi we hear in TROS just stood together in the World Between Worlds, watching Rey through one of the portals.
That means theyād have been able to enter through the portal and join the battle. Lazy bastards!
