Poll: Who Won't Survive the Rebels Series?

I voted Ahsoka and Rex, because I'm almost as sure as you can be about the two of them. Kanan is another great choice, as is Ezra. But I'm just not sure.

 

I am rather pessimistic. I think that most characters will not make it (Ahsoka, Rex, Ezra, Hera, Zeb).

After killing the female Inquisitor, Ashoka will die at the hands of Vader at the end of the season.

Hera's commitment to the Rebellion, which her father started, will cause her death. She will not stop until she has given everything.

Due to Yoda's comments, I think that the only way that Ezra would survive is by turning to the Dark Side and become an Inquisitor, but I do not think that they will do that again (see Dooku, Anakin).

After reading The Last Padawan, I could see Kanan's survivor skills return after others have died. He would then disappear again. However, it would be more heroic if he would sacrifice himself.

Sabine and Chopper might make it, mostly because all the others will die.

I am sorry that I am so pessimistic, but perhaps it is a compliment to the makers of Rebels. I genuinely fear for every character's life.

 

I'm guessing at least Ezra, Kanan, Ahsoka, and Rex.

My reasoning for the first three is the simple explanation of the absence of Force users from the Rebellion seen in ANH, despite actively being involved in it during Rebels (as opposed to exiles like Obi-Wan and Yoda, who we haven't yet seen involved in it pre-ANH)...

I suppose that could also be addressed in Rogue One or even a book/comic, but in the show itself seems a better way to do it.

As for Rex, well it's age, and basically that he's an old soldier that could use a heroic death for something he believes in.


I'm leaning towards a few of the other characters dying, but I won't guess that since they are much easier to have alive even by the time of ANH and beyond, without much explanation needed as to their lack of an appearance.

 

I feel like Chopper is the only one who is definitely safe and will make it through the show.

 

I think everybody will die EXCEPT Chopper. Don't know why,I just think so.

 

Ahsoka is too much of a Jedi and is too involved with the Rebellion, to simply be doing other things by the time of ANH. As important as stealing and keeping the DS plans were, her not being there says she must be dead. Kanan probably too, but I could honestly see him being MvS in TFA as a late ex-Jedi exile, but who knows.

Rex is old, a soldier, and most likely to die, next to Ahsoka. So those two got my votes.

 

No way who would bail out the Ghost in a tie fighter situation apart from Hera, as for my choice it might be Zeb.

 

Obviously any of these characters can and will die at some point. The one that I think is most likely to survive? Sabine Wren.

 

I'm trying my hardest to think of a way any of the major force sensitives could survive and i'm struggling! My main concern with Kanan and Ezra is the exposure they've had with Yoda. He spoke to Kanan, he addressed both of their existences so if they were around during ESB and RoTJ why when Yoda says 'there is another' would he only be referring to Leia with the knowledge that there are two people out there already trained? I know those films were made decades ago but it's something you'd think Lucasfilm and Disney would consider when choosing to add Yoda into the show with these characters. I love them all and want them to survive but I don't know how that will happen!

 

I think Kanan will give his life to protect his Ghost family from either Vader or some inquisitors. I think Ahsoka will have her inevitable battle against Vader where he tries to turn her to the Dark side to get revenge against the Jedi that cast her away by finding and destroying Obi Wan. When she refuses he can't kill her because as far as he knows she is the only thing left in the galaxy that he loves, but the emperor will kill her breaking Vader even more than he was before. Herra and Chopper stay with the larger rebellion. Zen defeats Kallus and finds a small colony of Lasat where he stays. Ezra becomes the batman of Lothal with Sabine protecting the citizens from the empire in the shadows. And the clones' days are numbered because of the aging no matter what

 

Ezra will survive, it is clear for everyone who already recognized the new beginning given in Rebels. It is NOT the old serials, it is something new with particular goals that differ from what we know of OT as preset timeline that MUST be matched by everything produced decades later. That time is gone in the producers' minds. I can't repeat everything I already said, you could easily click on my profile. Star Wars is a social-driving film more than it is a sci fi. In today's reality the filmmakers want to promote Ezra the No sayer of the status quo, rather than obeying Yes men and women, even if they obey heroically to their deaths. That is not what the modern people want to follow, and not what the filmmakers will offer. Notice Ghost and Rebel group escaped several times in one only episode going thru all galaxy with hyperspace jumps and devices to be caught. If they should die one by one, at least one or two of them would have already been caught - as Kanan did. Did he die? He outlived the moment of "sacrifice" because he was more useful alive to Grand Moff Tarkin, Dart Vader and ultimately the emperor Palpatine. They don't want the Rebels to die, poorly trained volunteers, although they want to stop their activity and they pretty much stopped it in Lothal. Does it mean Ezra will follow the dark side? I don't think so. Ezra needs more teaching, beyond Yoda's dogmas.

How that will fit to Episode 7 and the rest, is anyone's guess.

 

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but I still think Max Von Sidow is playing Kanan.

Ezra's last name is Bridger. This seems to imply he's going to bridge the gap between Rebels and The Force Awakens.

But the OT makes it clear that Obi Wan is the last of the Jedi when we meet him in A New Hope. Meaning Kanan, Asokah, and Ezra are already dead.

See? I don't know anything! Why are you even reading this?

 

I think it's easier to list who lives. If the series doesn't get canceled, it will just be Sabine and she'll go bounty hunter for hire. Because working for a cause and making friends, eventually forming attachments against the era of the Empire just screams that it's not going to end well. The Force-users will be written off to maintain canon, the older troopers are just going to be a half-second too slow against a blaster bolt eventually, especially the bigger guys who are basically easier targets.
Plus there's going to be a few "heroic deaths" as the story goes along.
I'll definitely stay till the bitter end though
And one last thought, I think Chopper will live long enough to encounter/download his "logs" to R2...so that the tragic ending of this group of rebels gets remembered.
Oh yeah way back when they announced this series. I did and still think that they will end this series by having the team steal the Death Star plans...and then all dying as they make the handoff to R2.

 

I can see the resemblance between Kanan and Von Sidow, but, if Von Sidow would be playing Kanan in TFA, then that would mean that Kanan had gone into hiding again, like he had done after Order 66, during the OT.

Regarding Ezra's name, could his name signify that he is the bridge between ROTS and ANH? He was born on the exact day that the Republic fell and he will die on the day that the plans to the Death Star will be given to Princess Leia. The latter is obviously speculation, but the former was explicitly mentioned.

 

Excellent reasoning. I hadn't thought of that but it makes nerfect sense.
