I wonder if General Syndulla will have any part in the main Star Wars comic series from Marvel now that Rebels is done? They just did an arc tying the OT to Rogue One.
Star Wars Rebels Season Four (spoilers)
- Thread starter Stephen!
- Start date
Well Aphra just kidnapped Hera in her book, so it's not impossible. 
I imagine the post-RoTJ scene takes place at most a year or two after Endor. After the end of the war follow the Battle of Jakku. While we don't know exactly when the battle over Lothal happened, it shouldn't have been more than a year before the Battle of Yavin, which would place Endor at five years after those events, and Jakku six years after Lothal. Estimated of course, since the birth of the Rebel Alliance still seems to take place two years before the Battle of Yavin, and they had some adventures following that event before even coming back to Lothal.
I expect we will see some exploration in both novels and comics of what Hera, Sabine, Zeb, Chopper, Ahsoka, etc. were up to during the OT, now that the series is over and we know their postwar status. We'll probably see some Forces of Destiny shorts about it too, since fitting vignettes into gaps within the movie storyline and pairing characters from different parts of the franchise are right up their alley.
The Force
It also happened in Empire Strikes Back
Shhh.... People just like to be offended.
Good point. Though again, given the age of certain green haired person it really shouldn't be too long after Jakku. I might go so far as to say It was probably in the immediate aftermath. Weeks, or perhaps even the day after the inevitable celebrations given how suddenly nostalgic the narrator had gotten.
As for the timing of the climax, I'm pretty sure it's *very* close to the events of RO. Much less than a year given the lack of retaliation could be best explained by those events; the loss of the Death Star, Tarkin, most of the Joint Chiefs, over a million of the Empire's finest, Thrawn along with his entire fleet, combined with similar subsequent uprisings all over the galaxy. Indeed, Palps couldn't have picked a worse time to dissolve the Senate.
Again, probably on the order of days or weeks, otherwise they would have probably mustered *some* response, if only another blockade to keep everyone there until the Death Star showed up.
If size matters not, then distance matters not. Illusion they both are.
Given "A Fool's Hope" is both a Tolkien quote and the title of the antepenultimate episode, I'm sure the similarity wasn't lost on the crew at least.
Indeed, a few things in these last episodes reminded me of Tolkien; from Palpatine's "fair" Annatar-like visage, to Zeb & Callus's somewhat Legolas & Gimly ending and of course Filoni's wolves filling the role of Tolkien's eagles. I suppose an argument could also be made for Purrgil and the Ents (at least in a broad thematic "nature vs. technology" sense), but that might be pushing it.

Watched the episode last night. Absolutely loved the ending.
The one thing that strikes me about the ending though was set up last week. I think getting Ezra back is going to require a trip to somewhere we came to for the last time rather recently. There are three people who know much about the World Between Worlds:
But, time will tell, I suppose.

- Ezra, who spent significant time in the WBW but is out of play as was last seen on the Chimera's bridge with the windows broken around him. A rather precarious position to be in, if you ask me.
- Ahsoka, the only other character we know who has actually been in the WBW and who shows up at the end of the episode. Ezra also asks her to find her when she comes back, to which she says that she will, a phrase that has deeper meaning now that Ezra is "lost."
- And Sabine, who's appreciation of art helped Ezra get into the WBW and also asked Ezra to help him.
But, time will tell, I suppose.

Oh, god. Chopper vs. BT-1. Sparks, nuts and bolts are going to fly.
I think you need to add Yoda into that list, even though he's a Force ghost now. Wasn't it explained that when Ezra and Yoda talked, they were in the WBW, but Ezra didn't realize it yet?
Does anyone know of a "body count" of all the ships lost in this series, on both sides? Fighter-class vessels might be a bit difficult, even if you don't count the ones lost when the mother ship was destroyed. Pretty much impossible to calculate the number of people killed.
Fight? Are you kidding?! Those two are much more likely to have a full on bromance. Go out to a bar, compare bodycounts, electrocute a few random passers by, that kind of thing.
Good point. But like you say, by the epilogue, Yoda was a Force Ghost. I was talking about living beings. He's kinda out of play.
Seen The Last Jedi yet? Being a Force ghost doesn't necessarily equal being out of play.
Wouldn't Yoda be a force projection in Rebels and not a force ghost? He doesn't become one with the force until few years after the events of Rebels. He's alive and chilling in the swamp, so wouldn't his appearance to Ezra in the Jedi Temple be more like a WorldBetweenWorlds thing or maybe a ForceSkype(tm.) or something?

Just think of The Force as a big ball of wibbly wobbly forcy worcy stuff and roll with it.
