As far as we know, Thrawn is still alive. So...I guess we can't rule it out

In the Rebels Recon for the episode Filoni says that they both survived it. (at 7:25)

But Yoda's aware of Ezra, right? Not having seen the finale I don't know whether Ezra's survival is known to Yoda, but if it is...
In the OT, Yoda's not sending Luke after Vader because he expects the familial bonds to turn Vader back, he's sending Luke to take him down to death-town plain & simple.
Ezra's basically the same age as Luke, and a buttload more proficient & accomplished. Yoda doesn't see the big picture as of Empire/Jedi, it comes off as a straight-up "we need a Jedi to go deal with him" thing, a sort of implication he feels he's personally too old or otherwise not up to it.
Why the hell not try to get in contact with Ezra? Or Ahsoka, more to the point if Yoda knows about her. You'd sort of figure on-paper it's a more sound plan than the whiney hillbilly kid spectre-Obi's convinced to show up at your hut.
Effectively Ezra's off the board during the Galactic Civil War in such a way that it wouldn't be feasible for Yoda or Obi-Wan to try and call on him. The Galaxy at large likely believes him dead.
Yeah, this is about the only way it makes sense, that this portal stuff cuts him off from awareness of others using the Force.
If Yoda figures they're both dead, then okay. It's still a little annoying, but guess it doesn't really starkly contradict anything.
Then again, do we figure Ezra's still aware of what's going on in the "regular galaxy" from his position in this Force-dimension? If he's able to leave there, in any way, you'd sort of figure he'd be trying to do that, type of guy that he is he wouldn't just sit it out.
I get that Lucasfilm's not going to want to kill their lead off in a kid's show, totally understandable. Guess it's just the sort of thing that grinds the nerves a little, knowing there are two proficient, Jedi-Knight-level people out there still breathing during the rest of the Empire/Rebels conflict.
I mean, Ahsoka likely stayed hidden, because she knew if she resurfaced, she shouldn't count on a save from a space portal again when Vader finds her.
And really, do you give Obi-wan and Yoda guff for sitting on their asses for 19 years?

Totally. Yoda basically fought Sheev to a tie in ROTS, and Obi obviously curbstomped Anakin into a toasty cripple.
That initial year or few years after ROTS, they could have mounted some sort of covert offensive to take them out. We've seen how easily a 60-something Obi infiltrates the Death Star of all things.
Sure, they didn't know Vader survived, at least in those initial years between trilogies. And ostensibly they couldn't get into the belly of the beast on Coruscant to take out Palps, but from what we know Palps did leave Coruscant on occasion. You'd kinda figure Yoda being Yoda could eventually track his location somewhere through the Force. You'd figure Yoda & Obi could take Palpatine one-on-one if Yoda could alone, and 30-something Obi's already bested Anakin.
Sort of a tangent here from the thread topic, but yeah, I totally think Yoda & Obi could have mounted some covert attempt to cut the head off the snake.
Obi-Wan would never leave Tatooine without Luke. Which is why I'm wary of an Obi-Wan movie.
Because like with Ezra they do really dumb things to keep them alive, trying to circumvent the main story of the Skywalkers. Luke should be the only Jedi around RotJ and the only Jedi around TLJ. Now they have surviving Vader and have her dressed up like Luke in TLJ, all in white. That's stupid.Why dont you like the Ahsoka stuff? Is she the other character that is your least favorite?
