Ahsoka - SPOILERS

[Zaukrie]

This is before that time I think. And Luke isn't so unknown that the Mandalorian couldn't find him. His location is just unknown to the Mandalorian. Luke is a famous hero of the rebellion. The guy who took down Vader and the Emperor. Destroyed the Death Star. There's no way in hell he is unknown. He's still going to be ultrafamous galaxy wide. You don't forget someone that famous in a few years.

Luke had other students before emo guy(can't remember his name right now) came and started training. It's feasible that multiple students graduated prior to the mass killing the Jedi students.

I agree, but it is a SW thing that somehow people don't know much about the Jedi......and I don't buy any of the explanations I've read about that.

Is he, though? Yeah, he's famous as the guy who took the shot that destroyed the first Death Star. But everything that happened after that, everything that was related to him being a powerful Jedi, happened somewhat behind the scenes, known only to his friends at most. He trained on a planet so obscure that Yoda successfully hid out there for twenty years, he made a brief visit to a gas mine on Bespin and basically hardly met anyone, then he broke his friend out from Jabba's palace in a fashion that pretty much left no living witnesses, before going on what was already a covert mission, splitting off from that mission and going to confront Vader and the Emperor alone, an act in which, again, there were pretty much no surviving witnesses.

Most of the galaxy probably doesn't even know he was there, they assume that Vader and Palpatine died when the second Death Star exploded. Unless Luke went out of his way to make his part in those events widely known, there's no reason why they would be.

Reminds me if old EU story. Lando or Han are talking Luke up as the guy who beat Vader and the Emperor. Later Luke's "that's not the way it happened" and the reply was "they don't know that".

He's famous for Death Star and defeating Vader and the Emperor and being the last Jedi. The details are vague.

Even when the Jedi were at their height, most people had never seen one and had no idea what being a Jedi actually meant. In this era, there will be even fewer people who know what it means.

Sure, but they knew of them and knew they were good guys. Protectors.

Ya, which is ridiculous, given the recording tech we have not and the proliferation of video, but it is a SW thing....

Absolutely. But as evidenced by Han Solo, the average person had no idea what a Jedi was capable of or that the Force could be used to do magical things. (They might have heard stories about Jedi doing amazing things but they’d most likely have thought of them as nothing more than stories … and by the New Republic time, even those stories would have faded / been erased from the public consciousness.)

It is, but other than the Death Star, SW ships don’t appear to have elevators or turbolifts for rapid transit. It seems like if you want to get from one end of that Star Destroyer to the other, then you’ve gotta walk.

(That being said, I’m currently watching Discovery, and that ship’s turbolifts seem to exist in some kind of vast extradimensional space that’s larger than the ship itself.)

Nope.

Luke is unknown. To the point where the Mandalorians had zero idea of Jedi even still existing.

And Grogu is the first student Luke tries to train. He’s still building the Jedi academy.

Then all the more reason to let the shuttle land, no?
