IGN: Let’s start with the ending. I’ll just go there… Ahsoka’s totally alive, right?! That’s her walking away in the cave?

Filoni: Is that what you saw? That’s so interesting. That’s so good. You know I think it says a lot about who you are, which is great. You’re an optimist, and I think that that’s strong, I think that that’s strong. [Laughs] It’s an interpretation. I mean, the thing for me in this moment in time with this story – and I was pretty clear about this from the beginning in that Rebels is not Ahsoka Tano’s story, nor is it Darth Vader’s story, and we worked really hard to bring those characters into the story. But ultimately, I have to service Ezra and Kanan, and the crew of the Ghost. So a lot of that episode is portrayed through their eyes, and especially Ezra’s, as he witnesses this kind of titanic thing happening.

It’s just so easy – especially in that situation – it’s so easy to have Ahsoka and Vader take over the show. And I think evidence of that is that even though they don’t encounter each other until act three, you immediately get the dynamic of what’s going on. I would say that – while I’m not a huge fan of being tremendously ambiguous as far as what happened – I would say that this is the one case where I think it’s alright with Ahsoka to leave things a bit open-ended. You wondered what happened to her before, but you knew she walked away. Now she kind of leaves in a state of conflict. I would just say that there are probably – and I’ll give you this as we go back a ways – there are probably more stories to tell with Ahsoka Tano, but I would not believe that that would happen necessarily on Star Wars Rebels. I’ve been wrong in the past

:why: :leostare: Damn you Filoni :laugh:

So Ahsoka probably won't show up again until ST era content (ie a ST animated show after Rebels). Depending on when it's set she could be anywhere from 40-60.

Yup, I expect not to see Ahsoka again until the inevitable post-ROTJ cartoon in a few years. Which would be stupid tho, she's one of the most interesting characters of the whole saga. They have to bring her back next season, along with Lux Bonteri.

@The ADD what do you think? Seems like an excellent way to tie all this together with the Old Republic and recanonize Revan's time period.

Beyond that if Kylo Ren's light saber is indeed an OR relic this could lead to OR mentions in Episode 8 & 9, which would then pique a wider interest in an OR trilogy.

Two issues that I'm just speculating on:

I think all this is possible. The guys in charge of the story group and down to Filioni seem to be fans of most some of the non-cannon material.

That said I don't know if Kennedy and Iger would ever put $ behind any of this stuff relative to a theatrical release.
