Vader reportedly has a large presence (not the same as screen time) in the film. How much, we don't know, but there was a report that they made both a Hero and several Stunt suits for Vader. They went back and looked at the original suit from ANH in the Lucasfilm archives. I wouldn't think you make a hero and stunt suits if you're just planning on having him show up and stand there.

She's not 15, and this is not the teeny bopper movie as evidenced by the cast age. lol And yes, to restate what DarthDymond said, the trailer says on her own since she was 15.

Felicity Jones is 32. Luke and Leia are approximately 18-19 when A New Hope starts. The second youngest actor listed for this cast is 33 followed by 36. The rest of the main actors average age is 40s and up. Riz Ahmed - 33 Diego Luna - 36 Alan Tudyk - 45 Ben Mendelsohn - 47 Mads Mikkelsen - 50 Donnie Yen - 52 Jiang Wen - 53 Forest Whitaker - 54

It was an awesome teaser, and the movie looks like it's going to be awesome too. I said from the moment it was announced I was more interested in Rogue One than TFA. That hasn't changed, even though I ended up enjoying TFA a whole lot. I was curious to see if they held Vader back for the teaser, and they did. I guess we'll have to wait until the full trailer for Vader.

I agree with all that.

It's only a rumor, but from what I gathered it had to do in relation to the movies exploring, etc. No one can say for certain at this point. I'd personally would like 5 seasons at least. I'm sure they've planned for at least 4 or 5. I want a decent series finale, something the Clone Wars didn't get.

Rumors are already swirling Rebels might be done after 3 seasons with a new series in development. Those are just rumors, but Freddie Prinze Jr. said he thought ideally they could go for 5 seasons. We'll see.

Not really. It's a universe with limitless possibilities. But, you seemed to have missed the point entirely. A Star Wars movie doesn't have to limit itself to Jedi and Sith. You can do any kind of story imaginable. My point was to not limit or pigeon hole the property.

Star Wars is a big property. One of the big problems with the prequels was total control by George Lucas. I want different creative teams making stories in the SW universe. I see no reason to keep animated SW limited to the Rebels crew.

The IGN interview, or one of the others he gave. He more or less said she's done in Rebels.

I hated that too, but it's okay. Maul made them pay for that stupidity.

Yeah, and the thing is, it doesn't have to involve any Sith, Jedi, or even be an action cartoon. It could be something as simple as a little kid (or alien) going to school on a random planet dealing with family issues or something. The possibilities are limitless for the SW universe.

Some more random thoughts about the finale: 1. The sith temple belonged to an as yet unnamed female sith. So we have our first official female sith - kind of. And yeah, that was Nika Futterman - the voice of Asajj Ventress. 2. Darth Maul reciting the Sith Code was epic. That was made canon in the Clone Wars with a few lines, but we got even more of it here. Thank you Sam Witwer. 3. Maul and Ahsoka have fought before in an unproduced story arc of the Clone Wars. 4. Maul admits he can't defeat Vader. 5. I loved the moment when Maul sensed Vader's approach. That was such a cool touch.

Yeah, I'm waiting for Disney to dip Star Wars into their feature film animation department. Pixar or Disney animation proper could kill a SW animated movie.

Guess not.

Filoni confirmed it would not be.

Inevitable, but a good thing. Ahsoka is a wonderfully developed character, who thanks to television, we have more hours of time with than anyone other Star Wars character but Anakin and Obi Wan. Think about that. That's sort of crazy when you think about it. All that aside, I do think she's actually a really wonderful character that I'd love to see and read more adventures about.

Uh no. 30 years of history tell us all we need to know about Vader. There wasn't a jedi alive who was going to beat him until Luke. The creators of the show outright state she couldn't beat him. It's not subjective at that point. Their job was to give us an emotionally satisfying fight, and they did. Vader easily won the duel, though he was putting forth effort. Like the duels in ANH, ESB, and ROTJ, it's not about the fight itself, but the exchange Ahsoka had with Vader at the end. No, you're backpedaling and moving the goalposts from your previous statement to me. No one is denying it was a great fight. But Vader decisively defeated her, as we all knew he would. But there are some fans trying argue Ahsoka could actually have won. She's not skilled or powerful enough to beat him. You're trying argue interpretation with definitive creator statements, and that's ridiculous. That's one of the most absurd things I've read in a long time. And I don't like Obi Wan Kenobi. It's not worth the time to responding to you if that's where your head's at. I'm done with this conversation. You have a good day.

He could have. His goal was to draw out the Rebels entire force and drive them off Lothal, which he did. There's also creator intent, Filoni and the entire cast of actors all outright state they couldn't beat Vader in a million years. This has been definitively answered by the creators. There is no room for interpretation. Yeah, I'll agree. I loved the Force Awakens, but I enjoyed that Finale more than the movie.

http://nerdist.com/new-star-wars-novel-featuring-ahsoka-tano-announced-exclusive/ Sounds neat.

Couple of interesting things from the http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-producer-of-star-wars-rebels-answers-your-burning-q-1768048083 posted above that leap out at me. Filoni says he outright stated that he asked George Lucas what would have happened if Vader met Ahsoka. The above answer at least makes it clear Filoni and Co. understand Vader quite nicely. Vader has never been more bad *** than his two appearance in Rebels so far, in my opinion. This is awesome. Maul is as interesting and developed as Vader psychologically. His future appearances can only enhance the stories. Also good. Hopefully people understand the roles of the Inquisitors now and stop linking page long EU related Inquisitor info. That is of course one of the biggest cop outs ever just to keep your pet characters alive, and I (along with others) predicted that would be the reasoning given to more than likely keep Ahsoka, Kanan, and Ezra alive if need be. Of course there are other force users, but Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka clearly fit in with Jedi. I basically take from that answer that Ezra is safe. I'd take 50/50 odds that Kanan dies by the end of the show. We'll see. Looking forward to season 3 now.

*Sigh*. Let me explain this. At no point, was Vader ever going to lose to Ahsoka. She was not powerful enough. Filoni (the CREATOR of Ahsoka) has outright stated she can't beat Vader or Anakin. The only thing that gave her a very good chance and allowed her to contend with him was the fact that Anakin/Vader taught her. She put up a great fight - better than Obi Wan did in Episode 4 (due to the unlimited possibilities of animation), but the outcome was never in question. Vader pressed her from the moment "Go" and then force pushes her off the temple. He didn't even feel the need to pursue her, primarily because he was after the holocron, and because she couldn't beat him. Vader didn't feel threatened. That fight was Vader all the way, with Ahsoka putting up a very nice fight. So yeah, Vader - her former master, brother, and mentor - owned her. That's not a negative on Ahsoka mind you, but don't delude yourself. Ahsoka was destined to fail, because only Luke Skywalker could reach Anakin and defeat Vader. That's destiny, deal with it. /I did want Ahoska to reach and Anakin and convert him back though.

You could say the same for Vader. Survives getting his arms and legs cut off, then set on fire. Survives the destruction of the first Death Star, survives the two AT-STs falling on him, and now he's survived a sith temple exploding at point blank range. Maul is fine, and the Clone Wars and Rebels have been far better because of his participation quite frankly.

Hopefully not, that would be stupid. Maul and Kenobi's story is over and done. Maul got his revenge on Obi Wan and Kenobi refused to continue hating Maul.

That interview essentially confirms what I thought at the beginning of the season, Filoni wouldn't kill his pet Ahsoka. Disappointing, but I was happy with the fight - Vader owned her. Other than Vader, Maul was obviously the best part of the show, hands down. Sam Witwer is by far the best voice actor on the show.
