Well, then that leaves us with Darth Vader coming back from the dead.
Or our protagonist just hears and sees things. That's a possibility as well. Nobody ELSE hears these voices.
It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

Why would Luke be confused? He'd already seen the same thing happen with Obi-Wan four years earlier. Since Obi-Wan and Yoda were the only Jedi he'd ever met, it wouldn't surprise him that they both met their physical death the same way.
No it doesn't. Unless you subscribe to the idea Vader didn't want to ever do battle ahead of time and planned a force projection all along, which seems highly unlikely to me. It was either him doing battle with his son, or ultimately Palpatine. At least that way he had his options open for changing his mind, which must have been a thing coming already. And so he was damanged and left to die in an explosion.
Is tonight the night the delayed Rebels finale airs everywhere else in the world? If so, enjoy all. Then we can ditch the spoiler tags.
Having rewatched the final 5 episodes a third time I am quite pleased with where the series ended thematically and story wise. Satisfied with who survived and who didn't. More than satisfied with the balance of fleet combat, ground battles and lightsaber fights. All well crafted and delivered. However, I do hope the next animated series is a bit closer to TCW age in fanbase.
*Please* make the next series a bit more mature in theme, a micron more serious in tone. I'm probably the minority in thinking this... but I like the gritty Rogue One/TCW style Star Wars best. But who knows? I guess we are going where Disney takes us.

Why are Jacen's eyeline edges green? I've got a bad feeling about this when I watch those final few moments of Jacen waving his hands in the air and laughing. Classic Rebels goofiness. Are other Rebels fans super pumped on the New Adventures of Jacen Syndulla? Maybe there are some families out there that get a kick out of the mommy Hera setup but I don't find sitting through 22.5 minute blocks of it appealing.

You are right, I see now they aren't on the bottom so they are his eyelashes. Yes, they are an odd shade of green. Hera's eyelashes are dark/black. Maybe it's a twi'lek recessive gene or something.
Probably a little early, but an estimate on Rebels box set? I don't get cable TV, I usually wait to buy them as a collection and binge watch.
i think that the complete Clone Wars set came out the same day as the 5th season did.
Filloni said "very soon", so I suspect it'll be this year instead of next.
Remember that animation production is usually about a year ahead of broadcast, meaning all the scripts and voice work for season 4 would have been done back before Rogue One was released.
Somehow I doubt the writing team has been sitting on their hands this whole time.

Yeah, I couldn't remember the exact timeline for production for these kind animated series, but I knew it was pretty. That was what got me wondering about when we might hear about the new series, I figured they were probably least pretty far into the preproduction of the new series, if not already in the process of writing it.
As if we needed more evidence that there's some deliberate Tolkien allusions being made with regards to Ahsoka; while browsing the SWR season 2 soundtrack I came across this track from 'Twilight of the Apprentice': Where the Sun Sails and the Moon Walks. The track itself appears to be an alternate composition of the music that plays over the episode's coda, but the title is what really grabbed my attention.
My first thought was that it was just a sideways nod at the Skywalker name (and that may still be partly true) but there was something about it that felt familiar. A quick search later and sure enough, it's a Gandalf quote from 'The Hobbit': -
The significance of this being a farewell shouldn't be lost on anyone given the context of the episode.
Also, I know eagles and owls aren't exactly the same thing, but it's yet another piece of avian imagery associated with Ahsoka. From Morai, to The Daughter's griffon form, and the wing pattern markings on Ahsoka's Jedi shuttle in the 'Family Reunion and Farewell' Epilogue.

Oh, in all that I appear to have neglected to mention that the music in question is Ahsoka's Theme, which has cropped up in various forms over the years.
Just finished watching this a few days ago. I honestly thought the last half of season 4 was brilliant, with the first half being damn good. Frankly I consider Star Wars Rebels to be better than the new movies, which makes me wonder if Star Wars may actually be better off as a TV series nowadays (since the movie and TV landscape has changed so much since the original movies, to the point there's been rather a switch when it comes to depth of writing).
Well, the original Star Wars films weren't exactly known for their depth of writing or sophistication. They were really well-made popcorn movies, though Empire did have some richer substance. I think both TV and film Star Wars are richer and smarter today than the franchise was in the past. I loved how The Last Jedi questioned and challenged the action-hero tropes and simplified good-vs.-evil narrative that the original trilogy presented uncritically, like the franchise was becoming more mature and self-aware.
