My hope is they

These trailers are a bit of an double edged sword. They will show the hypest moments of the upcoming episodes and people will consider everything between these moments as filler.

Kanan im 100% on having to die sooner than later(sad because during my rewatch he became my 2nd favorite after Hera)
Ezra I don't really care what happens, as long as he isn't his current self
Sabine im fine with somehow living happy,
Ruling Mandalore,
but im also just as fine picturing her devolving back to a loner bounty hunter hanging around a dumpy cantina somewhere.
Hera i'd like to live, but i'd be fine with some BS like when the Rebels start jumping to hyperspace she tries rescue possible survivors on the Scarif and crashes leaving it ambiguous

Yeah, what's what happened with the last part of season 2.

That trailer was fucking awesome but then the second half of the season was more of the same.

I believe Filoni has said he will tell that story someday. And we have already seen these that Filoni drew:

I knew about those, I just hadn't heard that we would definitely see that from another perspective.

This is true, I considered over half of S2 filler before until now that im rewatching it.
I feel like we won't have to wait too long to find out what happened to Ahsoka. Filoni has a habit of suggesting certain storylines or returning characters are farther off than they actually are. When he was asked about Ahsoka showing up in Rebels he made it sound like we'd be waiting seasons and seasons, and then she popped up in that finale.
If we're not gonna findout what happens to Asoka for awhile I hope we at least get Siege of Mandalore before then.
Wishful thinking but i'd absolutely love it if they managed to turn that arc into a one off The Clone Wars movie, though a comic would also be acceptable and more viable (though it wouldn't be as great) The Asoka Novel still skimmed most of it, so I feel like they're waiting for the perfect oppurtunity/format to come along to tell it visually.

Mid Season Trailer
Major spoilers obviously https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upN-7ALj2OU
Has its own thread but figured it belongs in the OT as well.

The only part of that that matters is the very end. The only sad part is that that probably won't be its own movie now.
Considering we've now heard Obi-Wan in the latest trailer and it's obviously not Ewan, this doesn't seem to be case, unfortunately.
Yeah I didn't think so unforunately, but filoni seemed like he wanted him as Obi-Wan in Rebels so it's a bit of a shame.
With that said though, whoever's doing it is spot on and really close to Alecs voice going by just that one line so i'm happy even if it's not Ewan or James voicing him.

It's going to be a long season, waiting for Obi-Wan to show up.
Confirmed as Stephen Stanton voicing him now. (same guy who voiced him Battlefront 2)

You just know it'll probably be the season finale.

At 2:39, is that meant to be old Admiral Yularen?

Also, from FPjr:
Slight correction - on Twitter he says he never said "blank slate" but the rest of it seems accurate.

That's great news, and it's even believable, with Disney's infinite money. But then let's not forget Tron: Uprising.
Razgriz-Specter

Eh, Filoni is gearing up for a new show does Lucasfilm have enough animation people to maintain two separate series?
Star Wars is Disney's most prized franchise. Tron is well. Tron.

They outsource a large amount of it to Korea (same as TCW), so I imagine it wouldn't be too hard.
I'm still guessing the endpoint will be their side of the Rogue One story. It just makes too much sense.
Especially because after ANH, Luke is a member of the rebellion, and I can't imagine them wanting to put Ezra and Kanan in the fully formed rebellion (or at least in contact with them) while Luke is hanging out there. Wouldn't make any sense, given that he's supposed to be the last Jedi (apart from Obi/Yoda).
I don't think there's going to be much more of this and that's fine. When Filoni's new show is ready for full production I'm sure it'll replace this one, no matter what one voice actor might say. I can see some of the characters, like Thrawn, moving on to the next show if the timeline makes sense.
I'm actually wondering what would happen if the show really goes all the way to Rogue One territory (and Filoni has said he had some story ideas of where the Rebels cast would be during that story - and we know from the movie at least Hera and Chopper are there). I don't like the idea of Kanan and Ezra being alive there. It's already kind of messy that there are two relatively high profile (for the Empire/Rebellion at least) Jedi running around, but two of them being in some way involved at the time of Rogue One, just days before Luke gets involved? I don't like that at all.
I'm hoping they'll kill off Kanan and Ezra before then, although I'm not sure they're willing to go as far as killing Ezra on this show. Maybe if they age him up a bit first. Or let him go full dark side (doubtful) or give up the entire philosophy thing like Ahsoka.
Oh well, it'll be a bit weird I guess, whatever they'll do. Luckily, while I respect Lucasfilm for putting a lot of effort into what is essentially a young audience cartoon, it doesn't really 'count' for me when I watch the movies (yes yes, one unified canon these days - headcanon trumps everything. I just care that whatever story in whatever medium I'm consuming is good - and the movies are always on another level and the only thing I'm really excited about. I like the easter eggs though, but it's really not more than that for me personally).
Yoda also makes it pretty clear in ESB that Luke is the very last Jedi in existence.
Kanan is a goner for sure. Ezra? I'm sure his fall to the dark side will pay off like some people have been hoping.
Razgriz-Specter

Honestly I don't take that literally anymore.
I just take it as Yoda knowing Vader's children somehow turning him or distracting him enough to make it possible to defeat him is the only chance.
1 of those two have to go but honestly neither have a remote chance of ever defeating Vader,
Even Ahsoka if she is alive doesn't stand much of a chance.
I actually don't think it would be terrible if Kanan and Ezra are still around. Why couldn't Luke learn from them? I always thought it was weird how comfortable Luke is with the Force and his lightsaber at the beginning of Empire when last we saw him in ANH, he had never used the blade in combat or done any sort of meaningful Force tricks. Maybe he did get some lessons from Kanan or Ezra but Obi-wan would still want Luke to learn from Yoda, not only because of his importance but also because Kanan seems to be walking more and more in Ahsoka's footsteps and Ezra is almost as lost as Luke is with this stuff.
Naaaaah man I don't feel that at all, and I can't imagine Lucasfilm going so far. You don't mess with the lead character of the only movies in this entire series which will ever achieve true cinema classic-status. That's way too big of a retcon. That goes beyond putting Leia or Lando in Rebels (those stories made sense and didn't really change anything about their stories in the OT, just gave some additional info). Luke training with Kanan during the OT changes the central themes of those movies way too much.
Especially because, let's be honest, he's just a character from a saturday morning cartoon.

Maybe they'll go hang out with Mace Windu.

Episode descriptions for the next ones have also been released:
316: "Legacy of Mandalore"
Hoping to get her family to help the rebels, Sabine returns home with Kanan and Ezra, and finds herself embroiled in her family's power struggle for Mandalore.
317: "Through Imperial Eyes"
Fearing that the identity of a rebel spy will soon be discovered by the Empire, the Rebels launch a plan to rescue him before he is caught.
Seems like there is an 4 week break between 315 and 316... that seems unusual long?

Considering they didn't have Rex join the team proper (even though he should have) and instead have him randomly and inexplicably be part of the crew in some episodes and not in others, I highly doubt they'll ever have anyone else "join the team proper". Which is unfortunate since most of the main crew continues to be dull as dirt.
I hope not. Having a high ranking ex-Imperial join the Rebellion and actually stay there for a bit would be interesting.
Agreed.

Sure there is. It makes a lot of poetic sense for her to die by the hands of her former master. That wouldn't have been possible within TCW. It's possible with him as Vader.
Twilight of The Apprentice is hands down the best episode of the entire series thus far because we care so much about Ahsoka and Anakin and their relationship. It works in a way and on a level the rest of the show doesn't, because we aren't nearly as invested in their characters.
It's still disappointing that they barely used her when they had her, sure. But it's not at all disappointing that she survived TCW primarily to have that confrontation.
Regardless of if she did survive that fight, and the only reason she probably would comes down to fan demand...which isn't a great reason, there's still a ton of great potential for stories with Ahsoka in the ~17 or so years between TCW and her appearance in Rebels.
