Full Series Official Star Wars Rebels Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

You're right. Which means even Ahsoka could very well exist into and beyond the OT.

 

I really don't think she's alive at all. I suppose she could be. I do hope they clear this up for sure either way, before the end of the series.

 

It's still all speculation. We saw her descending down those stairs on Malachor after her fight with Vader.

 

She did not die that episode. I would rather have her die on screen, but if she happened to have died off screen, then I guess that’s just what it will be.

 

If she died off screen, it is likely being left to be explained at a later date.

 

Well it's already been mentioned that she'll have some role to play at some point within the last several episodes of Rebels.

 

Is there a source for that information, or was that somebody's speculation? I think they would have used the midseason trailer to tease that. They haven't been very secretive in their trailers and that would have been a big hype factor.
I think that realistically, we have no reason at this point to believe we'll see Ahsoka again in Rebels. I remember after the S2 finale, Dave or somebody official, said that Ahsoka's story in Rebels was over. Any mention of her since then might have been a misdirect.

 

"Now I do know what's next for Ahsoka," Eckstein told SYFY WIRE's Lisa Granshaw at San Diego Comic-Con. "For so long I didn't know, so I could honestly say, 'I don't know!' Dave Filoni has come out and said publicly that we will see Ahsoka again in [Star Wars] Rebels, so I can say that! In my opinion, there's still a lot left to tell with Ahsoka."

Is there a source that shows someone suggesting her story was "over"?

 

I found it, but I misremembered.

So that's essentially a vague statement that Filoni made before the Finale of Season 2. There's certainly been other hints, more recently, that would claim otherwise. Not even talking about Ashley's own statement about returning; but it's obvious there will be some Mortis connection in an upcoming episode. I don't think it's possible to cover anything related to Mortis and not include Ahsoka in some form. Not to mention the green and white convor. I believe there is some hidden message regarding that bird who bears the same colors as The Daughter, who first appeared on Malachor after Ahsoka's fight with Vader.

 

Yes, there is a quote or quotes from Filoni where he says Ahsoka will be back in Rebels in some form before the end. I believe it was at the last Celebration in 2017, but I can't find the actual quote.

 

I remember him saying in a podcast shortly after the season 2 finale that Ahsoka's time on rebels is done but then by the time of Celebration Europe in July 2016, he said the overwhelming response to TotA made him change his mind (not for season 3 since it was already done by that point).

 

The bottom line is that nothing is official regarding the fate of the characters appearing in either TCW or Rebels (outside of the franchise mainstays like Vader, and Hera, who made the appearance in the Forces of Destiny short on Endor with Han and Leia).

 

that was kind of random. I guess Thrawn is the gloating type in canon?

 

If that were true then you think she will appear in the back half of this season? Where would they fit her story in?

 

Just looking at Hera helpless like that makes me want to reach out and strangle Thrawn.

 

I think he's just trying to get under her skin. I was surprised that he didn't destroy the Kalikori in front of her.

 

That seems like it would be out of character, especially considering we saw how badly he reacted to the idea of it being destroyed in Season 3...

 

I mean yeah. But at the same time Thrawn knows what will and won't hurt people. He uses that to his advantage.

 

But what would be the gain for Thrawn though? He's already got Hera beat, or so he believes, and he's just proved that he understands her so other than kicking her when she's down ...what purpose would it serve for him? He's a character driven by pragmatism, not sadism.

 

I think Pryce had lots of trouble with getting any answers from Hera. So Thrawn came, got under her skin, and told Pryce that now she can continue. The prisoner is not so strong anymore.

I don't like that brother thing much, but I admire Thrawn's tactics.

 

I will just say this. Kanan’s death was more dramatic and emotional than Han’s and Luke’s.

 

Here's my take. I was never all that drawn to Kanan as a whole; but it was really his chemistry with Hera that got to me. I feel bad for her more than I do just on missing Kanan, if that makes sense.
