Obviously, he/we find out that Obi-Wan survived Order 66, and that Luke was born and taken to safety before Padme died. As far as I know, Vader never knew that Yoda survived to train Luke (as he says, "Obi-Wan has taught you well").
In Rebels, Vader knows that Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka are alive and acting as Jedi. The only way it can really end without screwing up the whole premise of the OT, is for those three to die. I suppose they could go into deep hiding under assumed names, but even that kind of undermines the whole "last hope of the Light Side" idea of the OT.

That doesn't necessarily have to be true. Kanan, Ezra, Ahsoka don't need to have died to keep the OT intact. They certainly would be too old and not really in a condition to qualify as a "new hope" for the light side as the OT makes Luke to be. There isn't a reason that these 3 didn't survive Order 66, like Obi Wan and Yoda did and live in exile. Now, without knowing for sure the life expectancy of the original clones who had Order 66 built in, they may have been pretty safe after a certain time.
It just seems like a logistical nightmare for every Jedi to have been sought out and killed. If they weren't killed within the lifespan of the clone troopers, they could have just been forgotten about as any threat.
Hmm, but Rey being an Anakin clone would be interesting. Could explain her natural giftedness and the affinity for that lightsaber. There would be an interesting ambiguity about her future destiny. But I agree with CC that a "force conception" would be horrible.
