Campe98 was talking about the epilogue, which is several years after Return of the Jedi, and thus after Yoda died/got ghosted.
Pablo is still giving vague answers if Rex is the bearded Rebel in ROTJ. They really don't want to commit to it.

I think Filoni flat-out said that the previous encounters with Yoda were while Ezra (and presumably Kanan & Ahsoka) were inside the WBW, or at least a part of it. Presumably that temple was built over an especially potent force nexus and we know that Dagobah is similarly connected, so between that and Yoda being trained to commune through the cosmic force, it seems plausible that he would be able to project himself through and into the pathways.
Indeed, it's been implied that the "dark side cave" where Luke had his vision was part of some artificial structure, so I wouldn't be shocked if it too was the sight of another ancient temple like the one on Lothal.
Hell, maybe this was how he watched over Luke and Leia from afar.

I think they're talking about People Who Can Help Find Ezra. By that time Yoda was One With the Force.
Yes.
A Force Ghost can do what he wants. If Yoda wants to help, he'll help. He could use a goo laugh.
As for kill count. Lots and lots of Imperial Star Destroyers and smaller ships. Though I wonder how many in this last battle were destroyed, or were....removed by force....to places unknown.

Not exactly...There are clearly certain rules in play.
The Father even mentioned "the laws of time" which seems to indicate there's a limit to how much foreknowledge a temporal person should be given. Though given that The Son was able to violate them suggests they're not fundamental laws of the universe and more akin to the rules that are there for your own protection like: "don't use a hairdryer while showering."
Maybe she simply had no means of getting off the planet.
Ahsoka may well have left Malachor. But as I said before, she had to stay away from the Ghost crew, because if she changed their past, she could change the events that led to her rescue. And only evil people like Palpatine would attempt to change fate to suit their personal will. That was the whole point Ahsoka convinced Ezra of when she talked him out of saving Kanan.
Presumably Ahsoka's fate just led her in a different direction. It's a big galaxy. There's a lot going on.

I just watched Ghosts of Geonosis Part 2, and I was a bit confused on a small point. At the end after they found the toxin containers, they kept talking about the senate and the Empire like they were seperate, but I thought the senate and Palpatine were in the charge of the Empire? So wouldn't things like the development of the Death Star, and the attempted genocide of Geonosians have to have gone through the senate before the military actually did them?
At this point the Imperial Senate isn't really in charge of anything of substance. It's a vestigial apparatus kept in place mostly to give the member worlds the illusion of agency within the Empire and as a bureaucratic lever to keep each of their local systems in line.
There were some scenes cut from RotS that goes into some of this, mostly about the regional military governors (what would become the Moffs), who were supposed to only be there to co-ordinate military defensive for the loyalists systems and to oversee the occupation of separatist worlds, being given undue authority. Essentially setting them up as a parallel power structure to the Senate, answerable only to Palpatine.
All that said, the influence of the Senators in each of their home systems was still potent, and the military taking direct control of a million worlds just wasn't practical, hence keeping the Senate around so long. Even the mighty Imperial fleet can't be everywhere at once, so if enough major systems rebelled, they simply wouldn't be able to hold it (which is exactly what happened.) It was only when the Death Star was online that Palpatine felt secure enough to dissolve the Senate.
Recall that in both RO & ANH, Vader was concerned enough about the Senate learning of the events on Jeddah, Scarif and over Tatooine to stage a cover-up. Even Tagge and Vader's officer was worried about it.
As covered in Claudia Gray's novel Leia, Princess of Alderaan, the Imperial Senate was generally powerless and a token legislature, but it still had honest members who were sincerely trying to do the right thing, and it sometimes managed to keep the Empire's depredations in check and achieve some benefits for its subjects. That's why Palpy finally dissolved it during the events of the original film. Once he had the Death Star up and running, he could rule with an iron fist and didn't need to tolerate the Senate any longer.
The Empire was probably set up so that the military could act pretty much without senatorial oversight. If there was a Senate committee in charge of military appropriations and whatnot, it was probably stacked with loyalists and basically a rubber stamp for whatever the military was doing. And the Death Star was a top secret project, so I doubt the Senate knew about it except as a budgetary line item or something.
Filoni is being wildly not-cagey about how cagey he is being about Ahsoka.
Apparently he won't give out designs of her final costume because, well, he CAN'T. Because, REASONS. "Intriguing" doesn't being to cover it.
If the next show is set between Jedi and The Force Awakens will that be more headaches than Rebels for "continuity avoidance" or less?
Damn it, give me my show that has as much Han, Luke, and Leia as Clone Wars had Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme.

So, I'm going through season 4. Its not bad, the show has grown a lot since season 1 (although not as much as TCW did between its first season and later seasons). That said, as someone who rolled their eyes at people who complained about
I really drawn the line at
I mean, the force has always kind of pulled stuff out of its ass when it comes to powers, but at this point its becoming nothing but a Deus Ex Machina that will do literally anything. I'm half expecting Ezra to grow like Ultraman at some point to grapple an at-st in hand to hand combat because "the force did it". Its like the force is just a lazy way to get writers out of corners they've painted themselves into. Its not like TCW was immune to force bullshit (that Father/Son/Daughter bullshit was some of the stupidest Force crap in the entire franchise), but for gods sake its becoming less and less justifiable that Ezra wasn't the damn chosen one at this point, since he's apparently friends with every bullshit magical force god that exists.
To be clear, this is a much better problem to have then the problems the first 2 seasons had, since I'm at least invested enough to care that the show is throwing bullshit at me. Still, I am morbidly curious to see what force bullshit comes back.

As I read his comments, he doesn't want to make any definitive statements because he hasn't decided everything yet. He has ideas about what he might do with Ahsoka if he gets the chance, but he doesn't know for sure whether he will or not. And if he does, those plans will probably change as he refines them and collaborates on them with other people, which means that if he said something definite now, it might become untrue by the time he was done. That's usually the reason creative types resist saying too much in advance -- not because they know for certain what comes next, but because they don't.
Not sure if having more expansion on Force lore is good or bad, but personally, I'm at least intrigued by the mythological underpinnings that TCW and Rebels, as well as the ST are doing. I know the Force is supposed to be mysterious and all, but powers popping up are nothing new (looking at you ESB).
