The finale of Star Wars Rebels satisfyingly brought to an end the story of its makeshift family, whilst also planting the seeds of potential stories that we could see be developed in the future. While the most prominent is obviously the continuation of Ahsoka and Sabine's mission to find Ezra after his heroic disappearance during the finale; the one which seems to be on the minds of the creatives at Lucasfilm is the future of Kanan and Hera's young child, Jacen Syndulla.

Dave Filoni, executive producer of Star Wars Rebels, spoke with io9 about the Rebels finale. He revealed that the character has a lot of potential in the eyes of other creatives at Lucasfilm, but that he hadn't given it much consideration yet. Here's the quote:

I have not given a lot of thought to where that goes, to be honest. That doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t in the future. I’m already getting asked internally a lot about it from people here. Creatives here. So that’s good. I like that.

He also confirmed that the child's name wasn't chosen haphazardly, as Star Wars expanded universe fans had already postualted.

It seemed, in a very small way, naming him 'Jacen' was a way to honor the expanded universe character of Jacen Solo who just really isn’t there anymore as the timelines have changed. I thought that’s a little bit of a wink to people that I know that was an important character. And maybe, in some way, that lives on through this character. I don’t know yet.

Filoni is referring to the name "Jacen" originally belonging to Jacen Solo, twin of Jaina Solo, who was born to Han Solo and Leia Organa within the expanded universe. The two would go on to become powerful Jedi, though Jacen would eventually turn and become an evil Sith Lord. Perhaps Filoni is hinting at the direction they may go with the, presumably force-sensitive, child.

Where do you think young Jacen is headed? Hopefully not to Luke's Jedi temple if the Star Wars sequel trilogy is anything to go by.

Filoni, needs Lucas behind him like on Clone Wars. Rebels, and his explanation for why they all survived was weak.

I loved Rebels

As someone who HATED this show when it was announced (I was still mad Clone Wars got canceled), this show was so good

I'm mainly interested in Ahsoka, but i'm cool with this, Ezra is the only one i never actually...fully liked, hopefully this Jacen will be a better character than Ezra.

@Doomsday8888 - Same here. But in the end he got a bit more interesting. I hope that he would be treated better in the future.

Great finale. Didn’t really think about it but yeah that character has a lot of potential.

Could never get into the Clone Wars because the characters all sucked, IMO. I much preferred the Gennedy Tartakovsky version that came before the movie, when the Jedi and Grevious were allowed to be awesome (Shaak Ti and her padawans especially.)

I caught only a portion of “Rebels”, mostly later season stuff, but I liked it better. I wouldn’t mind continuations of these characters.

Both Clone Wars shows were great but the Gennedy Tartakovsky version had no character at all. It was just non-stop fighting. Still a good show though.

@Nightwing1015 - I agree. I think the 2D series is great for the art that it is. But could never be canonical, give how the way characters act and the extreme fighting (not that it's bad at all).

The 3D series is written so that you could take any scene and film it in live action and it wouldn't need to be changed.

I'm on board for anything Filloni wants to do. I'm kinda hoping he directs a couple of episodes from Favuro's show to get ready for a movie. He is a wonderful story teller and I want to see more.
