    Well we don't know the extent of injuries, if any, that Vader gave to her .

    She doesn't seem injured at all from what I saw. She's just heart broken ... like Padme.

    Ezra is 14 max in Rebels and he's born the same day of Leia and Luke. So there's 5 years before ANH.

    The timeline isn't good at all.

    Who's gonna stay 5 years in a bacta tank ?

    Nope, Ezra was born on Empire Day. Luke & Leia were born a few days after, as per Pablo in one of the Rebels Recons from Season 1.

    We are also much closer by the events in Malachor to ANH than 5 years. I would wager that we are 2 years max away from Rogue 1's hand-off of the plans/ ANH.

    All that aside, it really wouldn't make sense for it to be her. She and Vader parted ways, however/ whyever that happened, it seems very unlikely that they would be in this position just a year or two later. It isn't her.

    So Ezra is 18 in the finale ? ...

    A few days ...

    So not 5 years but 4 years 11 months and 27 days. Is it better ?

    They didn't part ways, Vader wanted to kill her not kneel before her healing ... But unfortunaltely Ahsoka isn't a kid, a disarmed officer or a old man surrounded by troopers so it wasn't that easy for him ...

    It is Palpatine. Gareth Edwards told me so himself.
    Okay he didn't, but I'm sure of it just as much.

    No, that's not better, smart aleck. You said they were born on the same day, which is plainly false. Don't get mad for getting called out about that on a Star Wars site. Sheesh.

    Did you watch a different season finale than everyone else here got to see? They parted ways, dude. The how & why remains to be seen.

    ANd like I said above, we are like 2 years max away from ANH. Someone better at the timeline stuff please inform us of how old that makes Ezra during the finale.

    Also, to your point about "5 years" that was in reference to the beginning of the series. Did time stop for the series events and we are still five years out? Come on, man. Use your brain here.

    Honestly, I am unsure as to the direction of this conversation....

    Alright, Ezra is one or a few days older than Luke and Leia. He was born on Empire Day, the same day when Padme was at the Senate - still pregnant, before Mustafar - and witnessed the proclamation of the Empire by Palpatine.

    We know Season 1 starts when Ezra is fourteen and then is fifteen by the Season 1 Finale.

    By Season 2 - midseason - we do know time has passed, but not sure how much. When Leia goes to Lothal, she is still aide to her father, Senator Organa. Considering she is Senator at the age of 16, I could say she is about to become a Senator, so she would be almost 16 at that point.

    So by the Season 2 Finale I could agree that we are no less than 2 years from ANH, no more than three years.

    Sheesh guys, chill out. We're all mates here, let's not let our passions take over our better natures. We're all entitled to our opinions, even if they're wrong :p

    I think maybe you guys are getting hung up on somantics anyways. Anakin and Ashoka's friendship ended, and it that sense they parted ways. It is unclear exactly how that played out durring/after the temple collapse. Vader definitely seemed to want to kill Ashoka from what we saw. Still, a lot can happen in the SW universe in a month, a year, or even 2-5 years.

    Also, wasn't there talk about Rebels going beyond ANH, even up to ROTJ? So really we don't know how old Ezra will be in the show's ultimate finale.

    Bandini, I get why you'd wanna dig the boot into Vader a bit, I feel a bit the same way about him sometimes.

    So if Ezra was born a few days after Luke and Leia, then he's pretty much the same age as they are. Wasn't Luke 19 in ANH?

    It's hard to tell how much time has passed in Rebels since the show started, could really be anything from 1-3 years.

    But aren't we really interested in who darkcloak is in this thread, and less so in who's in the spa?

    Leia is barely a teen in the episode we saw her.

    True, she was not yet elected Senator, she was still aide to her father and we have learned from the new canon that she was a Senator at the age of sixteen.

    To get back to the chamber, was ESB the first time a person was ever put into carbon freeze?

    Something tells me it's not, but everyone kind of acts like it is. Seems like something the Empire probably does more than people would want to think.

    Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi and Rex were all put into carbonite freezing during the clone wars in order to avoid detection on a seperatist planet .

    I remember that now. Nice way to foreshadow Vader knowing it's possible.

    Rebels season 2 is 15 years after episode iii and Rouge One is set directly before episode iv which is 20 years after episode iii. Ezra and Luke have I think the exact same birthday or very close together. But it was a good thought :)

    If it is Snoke/Plagueis and Palps in the hood, why would Palps be saving Plagueis if he tried to kill him?
    --- Double Post Merged, Apr 14, 2016, Original Post Date: Apr 14, 2016 ---
    This is right before episode iv dear, Anakin is Vader in his suit
    --- Double Post Merged, Apr 14, 2016 ---
    No her battle is 4-5 years before this since Rebels is 15 years after episode iii so she'd be in there 4-5 years if it was her (which I doubt it is)
    --- Double Post Merged, Apr 14, 2016 ---
    Anywho, I think if anyone's in the tank, if it even is a Bacta Tank, it would either be Palps, Vader, or possibly maybe Snoke? The cloaked figure could be several people. I highly highly doubt it's Vader since Vader has never worn a hood with his mask, so it would be kinda dumb to have him in a hood now. It could be Palps. I think it's someone new though, possibly an inquisitor type person, maybe an apprentice of Palps (doubt it would be Vaders apprentice because he wouldn't want Palps to know and there's royal guards right there and they'd probably notify him), Snoke could be possible, Jyn as a spy, or possibly-wait for it-Mara Jade (haha). But I really think it's someone on the dark side who's new. Maybe it's Bencio's character at a younger age, who could be a KOR, or this guy could be the first KOR and we might see him in episode viii. The possibilities are endless though. Excited for the movie to come out!

    Side note: I'm glad they're coming out with a Star Wars type movie every year so people don't "forget" about it which tends to happen when movies are more than a year apart.

    I would put my money on Vader's apprentice which we don't know yet.
