There is another...

By Crabbok, in X-Wing Off-Topic

Could you imagine if in Star Wars Rebels, they decide to make Ezra a Jedi and keep him alive... all the way through the Original Trilogy films? Like he's off doing some other business on Eriadu or something?

And Obi Wan says "That boy is our last hope..." and Yoda replies "There is another..." he's actually talking about Ezra?

How would you feel if that happened?

How would you feel if that happened?

I would actually like it if Ezra and Kanan survived just so people could stop with this ridiculous notion that in the whole Galaxy there are exactly two light side force users left, or even only two Jedi left.

Given the fact that Yoda and Obi-Wan hid for that long means other people could do it too. Maybe Yoda needed to hide on in the shadow of the Dark Side, but Obi-Wan didn't and he was only discovered when he showed up on the DS. Vader couldn't even sense him from orbit...

But that doesn't change the line or make it invalid. It could be that if Luke had failed to stop Vader, that mean the only other person who stood a chance was the last Skywalker child.

In the old EU, after RotJ, there quite a bunch of Force users suddenly springing up out of nowhere, including more hidden Jedi (wasn't there an old one on Nal Hutta?), no reason for Ezra not to survive.

But with Luke and Anakin I've always had a bit of a Kwisatz Haderach feeling. Paul Atreides was born one generation too soon for the intended prophecy (though he turned out okay).

The way Rebels is going though, I think Obi-wan and Ezra are going to meet.

Ezra and Kanan couldn't beat Vader together and with the support of their squad. They certainly would not stand a snowflake's chance in hell against the Emperor. I suspect no other surviving Jedi would either; the Emperor doesn't even use a lightsaber anymore by the time of RotJ, he'd probably just bodily pick them up and slam them into the ceilings.

That's thinking that Ezra's power level is going to remain exactly the same for 6 or 7 years ish... Suppose he dabbles in the Dark side and then returns to the light. Suppose he find more holocrons and really grows in strength?

Or lets take it a different direction. Suppose Ahsoka lives yet again and they tie her back in. Suppose she somehow grew tremendously in power by the time of Empire Strikes Back, but since she had abandoned the Jedi order, she wasn't their first choice and Yoda was like "there is another"... referring to her as the absolute last chance option - because if they asked for her help it would mean admitting that the Jedi couldn't defeat the Sith....

Or something like that. My point is - Rogue One was able to retcon certain ideas and assumptions we had about the original trilogy... imagine if They did that with other conversations such as this one.
