Personally, I love Sam Witwer as Palpatine, he sounds good. Vader schooling Ezra and Kanan is nice. Hondo returning is wonderful.
Hmm.. Witwer voicing Palpatine makes me think Maul won't be on this show.
I think taking on Kanan and Ezra is kind of beneath Vader tbh.
Hondo is the perfect guy to come on this show. Cad Bane would be a great addition too.
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'.

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.
They need to be crushed immediately.

The likes of Vader and Tarkin being directly involved with the plot, especially this early on, is a colossal misfire imo and naked fanservice.
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.

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.
