Ahsoka did not appear in the original trilogy because she was not introduced in the storyline until the animated series 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars', which was created years after the original movies. Additionally, her in-universe absence can be attributed to her decision to leave the Jedi Order before the rise of the Galactic Empire, impacting her role in the subsequent events. Consequently, there's no clear indication that she was involved or available during the original trilogy's timeline.
