…okay but. How the heck is Bo-Katan so young?! Don’t get me wrong, they found the perfect actress to portray her but…she’s human? Older than Ahsoka? Roughly of similar age as Obi-wan Kenobi? This is a few years give or take After the empire fell??

Did the Living Waters grant her with immortality? Legit Space!Fountain of Youth? (Implications being that’s how Din raises an alien child who would otherwise long outlive him well before the kid’ll ever reach his teen years developmentally?)

…I’m just saying. Aside from the Continuity Convenience and yet another hilarious christianity reference, there’s gotta be a potential reason for why they’re the Living Waters versus idk Beskar Waters. (Part of me is still a bit disappointed that the “waters” didn’t turn out to be a planetary lava or leftover refinery runoff acid with the “proof” being 3rd degree burns since it was set up to be an impossible task, and not because “sooo is Mandalore even breathable anymore or…”)

...okay but it’d be Hilarious and really poetic if Ahsoka did train Grogu.

Yoda would be the first, Grogu would be the last

Duku is the Jedi who Fell, Skywalker is the Sith who Returned

Ahsoka left the Order but returned to the Force. Luke tried to rebuild the Order but abandoned the Force

Qui-Gon saw Anakin’s potential and connected with the kid like no one else could, but died. Obi-Wan was wary of Anakin but chose to follow Qui-Gon’s dying wish, but struggled to connect with Anakin like his Master could

Grogu needs a Master, but not a conventional one.

(Also Qui-Gon, Anakin, and Yoda would all be insufferable as Force Ghosts, while Obi-Wan would just heave this long-suffering sigh and share The Look with her (“You might as well go with it, Ahsoka. The Force has a sense of irony.”) and do his best to help Ahsoka to not repeat the same mistakes he did, as well as helping her to confront her fear that Grogu might become “another Anakin.” (Also. Anakin gushing about his kids now that he’s not trying to murder them.)

(...which okay the Disaster Lineage ghosts is a stretch. But, I can always dream.)
