Considering the movies never addressed whatever happened to Ahsoka, I would bet this season finale from Rebels will show her fate. It harkens back to my problem with the Expanded Universe (and I couldn't get into them no matter how much I try) in which most of what happens in Clone Wars and others is just trivial and doesn't mean much as far as the movies are concerned. I simply WANT the movies to at least acknowledge whatever happened in the Expanded Universe, but the narrative is set so that the Expanded Universe doesn't exist.
I get it. You don't NEED to watch Clone Wars or Rebels, play KOTR, or read the numerous books and comics to appreciate Star Wars and just go with the movies as it's the main narrative. But at the same time, such an attitude meant how alienated the Expanded Universe is because it's not critical to get into them to understand and appreciate the franchise.
The same can be said with the Marvel's TV universe as they are affected by whatever happened on the MCU, but never the other way around. AoS in particular already had the Inhumans become public knowledge, but as far as the Avengers are concerned, none of them are aware of the Inhumans' existence (you'd have to be literally in the same place as Hulk or Thor for not hearing about them).
What I'm trying to say is I wish both the Star Wars and MCU (and to an extent, DCCU) worked alot like the way the Gundam franchise is handled, specifically it's Universal Century era. There are numerous TV series, movies, books, etc. that all tie to the Universal Century timeline that began with the original Mobile Suit Gundam Anime from 1979 and continues to this day. Virtually all works acknolwedge the main narrative of the UC era and how their stories reflect and/or are affected by it, as well as contribute to the events of the main narrative of the UC era.
