They should have made Cad Bane the main villain instead of using Vader this early.

Inquisitor Barriss would not make sense at all. She'd be fighting against the Empire, and as much of a hypocrite she is, she wouldn't ally herself with a tyrannical regime that represents the dark side. In her view it'd be what the Republic was 2.0. The only possible way Inquisitor Barriss would make sense is if she got a mind wipe, and even then her being in Rebels would be contrived as fvck. Then it'd be, like, what? 5 or 6 TCW characters being introduced in just that one season? It'd be stupid, and as much as I love TCW, dumping in piles of TCW characters is a terrible idea. Especially when their inclusions don't make sense, like Barriss'.

She could always take Ahsoka's place in the rebel alliance after Ahsoka turns out to be the grand inquisitor (please log in to view the image)

Why? They are Jedi that are openly against the Empire. Their mere existence is sowing discord. And they have won a rather major victory against one of the Empire's highest officials and already defeated one of the Inquisitors.
I know I understand. Show probably isn't gunna last that long if they're using Vader now. I wonder if in the final season they'll face Palpatine himself?

This! They should have waited longer before bringing out guys like Tarkin to handle the Rebels. I remember when Rebels was announced they were claiming that everyone was going to be an original character and what-not. But now we have Vader as the main bad guy season 2. Although I won't be surprised if the show ends up being just 3 seasons.

Rebels piqued my interest early on because it was essentially marketed as Firefly in the Star Wars universe. A motley crew of misfits and nobodies taking on the monolithic Empire in their own way.
Tarkin, Vader, the Emperor? These guys are the unholy trinity and should be leagues and leagues and leagues ad infinitum beyond the Ghost crew.
Don't see why not. The Sorting Algorithm of Evil dictates that each subsequent season tackle a greater threat. If this show lasts longer than its next season, Palpatine is the next step. He's the only guy better than Vader.
I hope Palpatine turns Ezra to the Dark side and makes him kill Kanun, becoming the Inquisitor we see in the new film.

Filoni and co. have repeatedly stated how Rebels is much more lighthearted than TCW. No way this ends on a dour note like corrupted!Ezra killing Kanan.

I hope the last episode of Rebels ends with the crew of the Ghost landing on Alderaan, waiting for Princess Leia to deliver the stolen plans...

Eh, I can see it (for Vader and Tarkin). What else have they got to do? Stare at the Death Star some more? Two Jedi openly defying the Empire should get the Vader response, honestly. I don't see why they need to lose more than one Inquisitor before they become something of a priority.
Well if we're talking about what'd be the most realistic option for Rebels is that the crew ends up surviving and then they enter the role of characters who you don't see but are there helping a lot. Like I could see them helping at the Battle of Endor somehow. Stuff like that would be cool.
