So what do you guys think? I am on the fence here.

On one hand the ending of the finale seems to point towards her metaphorically walking into darkness (death). But if taken literally she could just be walking down some dark steps.

I think the one thing that may indeed convince me she is alive is the idea that she is Gandalf.

This episode reeked of Lord of the Rings references: From Gollum-like Maul to the Ezra's seduction by the ring of...errr the Sith holocron to the massive underground city/temple charred from a battle. But the one that stuck out to me was Ahsoka being the Gandalf of this story as stated by Filoni himself.

Vader, like the Balrog is a foe far beyond any of our heroes. And Ahsoka all but says "Fly you fools" to Kanan and Ezra as she makes the ultimate sacrifice.

As we know Gandalf descends through fire and water and into darkness before emerging as Gandalf the White (I mean come on Ahsoka even has white sabers). If I recall correctly we do see a lake on the surface of Malachor that they go underneath to find the Sith temple (Water). And Vader is very much (like the Balrog) an embodiment of flames (Fire). Now as Ahsoka descends into Darkness I wonder if she will, like Gandalf, reemerge.

I think it will remain ambiguous, but IMO Ahsoka died.

All I know is, I ****ing hate ambiguous endings like this..

most likely gone

Really? I love them.

Best of all, it leaves the possibility of the character returning if a future story calls for it and it won't feel contrived.

I liked Ventress' ambiguous ending in Legends, and I also like this one tbh.

Yeah I know, but I just....still don't like em.

Personally, I think she's dead, but Vader letting her live allows for good character building, so I wouldn't mind if she's alive.

Alive. Probably.

Nah, Ahsoka is perfectly fine and she declared herself Queen of the Ancient Sith Pyramid, kicked Vader off of her new planet, and he walked away in shame. Amazing. Iconic.

Wookie has her listed as dead

Wookie is a piece of shit.

Why do you r-tards never spell wookiee correctly?

Well they have her listed as dead from the time she 'died' on Mortis but was revived later.

21 years before the Battle of Yavin on Mortis during the Clone Wars; later resurrected

Riding off into the sunset, on a Rancor.

I "hope" that was a metaphorical "walking into darkness", because I'm gonna feel like an idiot after telling everyone about the epic ending of her story if she's camping out in a temple...

I thought you meant listed as dead as in dead as of TotA.

Probably dead

An episode guide quote

An image of the back of Ahsoka Tano is seen walking back down into the temple.

Just watched the episode, I think she's alive tbh

Hold up, were forgetting that massive explosion the 2 were in the center of? Who's to say that didn't end it? Vader makes sense as being alive, due to his armor and that he's been at the center of large explosions only to emerge rather unharmed if not a little damaged.

So....the explosion could have also ended the fight and her.

But just a thought really given the size of it, but guess we just gotta wait for confirmation.

Yeah that's true. The explosion might have just blown them off and separated them.

They were in the center of it, why would it just have blown them off and separated them?

Then again I guess one of them could have just broken off to get away, but that explosion was pretty freaking huge and took out the whole temple soo....

/Shrug

Feh...I just wanna know damnit.

I think as far as Filoni is concerned, Ahsoka died here. The owl is obviously symbolic of that and I believe the image of Ahsoka walking into the darkness was just a symbol, not actually real.

On the other hand I'm totally on board with the idea of Ahsoka transcending to long deserved goddess status. Long Live Lady Tano.

Impression I got from the episode is that she died, but they just didn't want to show it because Joker threatened them.

Same, Filoni's interview afterward confirmed.

A popular, revenue-generating protagonist meets an ambiguous fate that she may or may not have survived? Gee, I wonder.

More like Rebels confirmed to be based entirely off of bullshit theories on forums.

So Vader lost their duel?

We didn't see much of it, so as to who lost, who knows, but really I think the Temple exploding was the one that ended the duel.

It's not even implied a little that Vader was in danger of losing. Filoni was adamant on that not happening. Why is it even a question?

Until a book comes out that details the fight...

It'll have vader collapsing ceilings and throwing around black holes.

She's not dead until you see the body. Jesus do you guys not watch movies?

She's Space Gandalf so she'll come back.

I like to think Anakin stabbed her in the face with a lightsaber.

Maybe her spirit is trapped on Malachor in eternal torment.

Ahsoka would turn Malachor into a light side nexus.

Ahsoka has the life force of the Daughter in her tbh, so...

Maybe her potential is Anakin-esque as a result.

A reasonable conclusion to make.
