With 'Star Wars Rebels' wrapping up its first season only a couple of months ago, the follow up season is just over the horizon and fans are all wondering what's in store for the series.

It has already been revealed that Ahsoka would be making a return in the series. In an interview with IGN, showrunner Dave Filoni addresses the character's return and her future in the series:

"There was some debate on when would we bring Ahsoka in or would she even come in. Would any Clone Wars characters? I think what was great was from the very beginning, Kiri [Hart, head of the Star Wars story group] and everyone were very big fans of Ahsoka. They had watched Clone Wars and they were fully on her side of the court. It was something they wanted. Plus it was a character that, by the end, George was particularly proud of and so were we. So having been, I don't want to say cut short, but having her story end, we could see a need to continue it but we wanted to make sure we did it in the right way."

"One of the things that [Geoge Lucas] and I sat down and had fairly lengthy discussions about was Ahsoka and Darth Vader. We forged a plan that basically was what she would know, what she didn't know, what ways she would react, what he would think. So all these things that we may or may not cover, I know I'm basing them, deeply rooted, in all the things that we had kind of planned. So I was glad to have gotten this kind of backstory detail, so if a confrontation happens, it'll be legitimate."

Filoni also addressed the death of the Inquisitor and what that will mean for the series going forward:

"Having the Inquisitor hang on, after such a failure, having captured this Jedi and let him go - It's really a problem for the Inquisitor because he knows that Vader and the Emperor will not suffer this failure. He knows what they could do to him is, to him, worse than death.

That's a critical difference between an inquisitor and a full fledged Sith. A Sith sees death as an absolute. They'll do anything they can to avoid it because there's nothing for them after death and they know this. That's why the Emperor is so obsessed with trying to prolong his life, to find immortality - because if he dies, he loses all his power. He can't see a way to be part of the eternal existence of things and just selflessly be a part of it like Obi-Wan can and like Yoda can. They're opposites."

'Star Wars Rebels' is set to return to Disney XD later this year.
