"Star Wars Rebels'" second season somehow left fans with a lot of questions, especially after the cliffhanger finale.

In the finale episode, fans saw Ahsoka Tano having a heated encounter with Darth Vader. The Togruta's fate hangs in a balance and fans are anxious to know if she is still alive and will appear in season 3.

"Star Wars Rebels" executive producer and co-creator Dave Filoni recently shared details about Ahsoka's fate and what fans should expect from the next season. When asked whether or not Ahsoka is still alive, Filoni didn't give a concrete answer, but he noted that "Rebels" is not a story about Vader or Ahsoka.

Ahsoka could still have her own story told, but it won't happen in "Rebels." Given that Ahsoka, by her own, is already a tough and strong warrior, she could still be alive. At this point, no one knows if Ahsoka made it out of there.

"It's one of those mysteries then where maybe, beyond hope, maybe there is a future, but we'll have to wait and see," Filoni said in an interview with IGN.

The finale also revealed the return of Darth Maul, which led to speculations that there could be an epic battle between Maul and Vader, which a lot of fans have hoped for.

However, Filoni already made it clear that this epic battle might not happen. "I wouldn't count on that," he said in the interview. He did share that Maul is aware of Vader and fans will get to see more of him in season 3. The new season will also answer some of the questions about Maul including what he has up his sleeves or how he ended up on the planet. The duel part, howerver, has yet to be confirmed.

There are just a lot of possible stories to be told in season 3 and that should give fans something to look forward to.

A release date for "Star Wars Rebels" season 3 has not been announced yet, but it is expected that new episodes will be released sometime this year on Disney XD.
