Warning: SPOILERSfor The Book of Boba Fett episode 6.
The Book of Boba Fett episode 6 featured the return of a young Luke Skywalker and also included Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano, but, unfortunately, completely wasted the potential of their meeting.

Given Ahsoka's history with the Skywalker family, her initial meeting with Luke
