(Art by Chyche) Obviously, that possibility is long gone in the main continuity, but what about a timeline where Order 66 never happened and Palpatine was defeated that day? Do you think Ahsoka would be the type to want a family (i.e. a partner and children) or do you think she would want to remain single instead of settling down?

    Ashoka was no longer a Jedi by the time order 66 was issued.

    Also, while the Jedi weren’t allowed to marry and were discouraged from forming strong attachments, this didn’t always stop them. One Jedi master married and had several children with the council’s knowledge, and was even allowed to remain a Jedi master, Thracia Cho Leem.

      One seems like an exception rather than a rule. Also, my two interpretations exist because this new timeline where the Order doesnt fall is filled with unknowns. So I dont know what it would look like. The Jedi were already lost to the dark side by the time Anakin met Padme as a slave. It is why they couldn’t see Palpatine even though he was right under their noses. A lot would have to change to avert the fall. As a Sith Lord was not their only problem, the Jedi’s own attitudes had become corrupted and they saw themselves as infallible.

        My point is that Ashoka, no longer being a Jedi, was no longer bound by the order’s rules. As such, she was free to start a family is she so desired. That said, she could have done so even after order 66. That she apparently didn’t do so suggests that she had no such desire.

        Master Leem wasn’t the only exception to the prohibition against marriage. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was also granted an exception due to the low Cerean birthrate. He was allowed by the other Jedi to follow the Cerean custom of polygamous marriage—he had four honor wives and seven daughters.
