I feel like we'll see whomever survives in other media. Probably not in the actual films, but comics and games. So Sabine and Zeb might show up.

They're really leaning into Hera being a big part of rebellion leadership in the various comic books. She's going to be in Doctor Aphra, and she was in one of the Forces of Destiny comics that takes place on Hoth, not to mention the cartoon, where she's on Endor (though I'm not sure how canon those are).

Under the Story Group, everything is equally canonical (unless it's a video game, or explicitly designated non canon; so the plot line of then Battlefront 2 campaign is canon, the multiplayer scenarios aren't, etc) So Forces of Destiny is just as canonical as Rebels which is just as canonical as The Last Jedi.

teagone posted:If Ahsoka comes back... Wouldn't that kind of cause issues for Vader's arc? The only thing that brought him back from the dark side was the conviction and belief his own son had within him. Nothing else could change him being space hitler, even his former apprentice. Vader is also way more powerful than Ashoka, so not killing her would be out of the question since she is both an enemy and one of the last things to remind of him of the thing he hates the most: Anakin Skywalker. Killing her is a big deal in showing just how far gone vader is down the path of the dark side. Its the same problem as having a bunch of Jedi surviving order 66, it neuters the scale and power of the empire since Jedi are enemy number one for the sith and they should use every resource available to wipe them out unless they are hiding in bum gently caress desert and swamp worlds.

I think its more a popular character doesn't have a definitive end. If it was clear she died fighting Vader so Ezra and Kanaan could survive, she would bee seen as dying as a noble sacrifice. But because it was ambiguous, fans have no closure.

Killing her is a big deal in showing just how far gone vader is down the path of the dark side. I don't believe so. This is mostly wishful thinking/headcanon, but when Ahsoka struck Vader's helm, revealing part of Anakin's face, I felt a sense of regret in Anakin's voice when he called out Ahsoka's name, twice, as if she were able to break down Anakin's guard momentarily, revealing his internal struggle. The line "I won't leave you. Not this time." cleary had an effect on Anakin, but only for a fleeting moment until he recoiled back into his shell. Part of me believes Ahsoka was able to best Anakin as the temple was collapsing, and in the end, they couldn't bring themselves to destroy one or the other because of their history, and ultimately they went their separate ways. There was a struggle dormant in Anakin that showed itself briefly, at least that's how I read it. And it's as you said, the only thing that brought Anakin back from the dark side was that Luke could sense that struggle in him, that he could still sense the good in him. I like to believe Ahsoka sensed that too, and that's why upon defeating him, she couldn't bring herself to end him.

The First Thrawn comic came out this week, and from the previews, it will feature Rebels stuff as Pryce and Lothal are shown on one of the covers. The funny thing is they're keeping his origin basically the same. He was exiled from the Chiss, was found by the Empire and the Emperor saw his potential so he put him in his service. He even talks about how Thrawn tried to get the Chiss to preemptively strike against the mysterious unknowns in the Unknown Region, which is while he was exiled. Though in the Legends stuff, that was the Yuuzhan Vong, which i doubt will ever be returned to canon. Mara Jade or Corran Horn are more likely than them. It also mentions he met Anakin during the Clone Wars, though that must have happened in a new comic or something because I don't think it was in Clone Wars? Preview for Mondays episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR5p6yj166s Obviously spoilers.

Thrawn meeting Anakin is probably going to be covered in the next Thrawn book Most likely be vaguely placed somewhere within TCW so they don't have to give exact dates, but fans are gonna pore over every little detail and determine which week of the Clone Wars they met and gripe about continuity as a result

Basically everything you said about the comic is in the new EU Thrawn book, so I don’t know why you find it funny. Though I’m guessing then you didn’t read the book. The comic is an adaptation of that book.

It’s worth noting that Thrawn could still be referring to the Vong. They were set for an appearance in S7 or 8 of The Clone Wars, after all. I’m personally waiting for them to reconcile that mysterious threat in the Unknown Regions with the First Order also getting started out there; seems like those two things would be connected.
