There is no chance of Ahsoka saving Anakin, he made that very clear, so lets move on and focus on the Rebels themselves. I liked the show better when it was about establishing that thorn in the Empires side.
Bringing her back as a force ghost is a good idea as it still gives the exposure of a fan favourite character but keeps her out of the spot light of the show.

There was no chance that Ahsoka was going to break through to the good that was still in Vader. At this point, he's still angry and still blames the Jedi and especially Kenobi for the loss of everything.
you even heard it in the siege of Lothal when he was talking to the Emperor and he mentioned the name Kenobi and you could hear the eagerness and cold hatred in his voice.
I thought about it some more when I was driving to a client meeting today, and I did really like this espisode.
I will state again that I hated the helicopter sabres but they addressed that when the last Inquisitor tried to escape and his light sabre failed killing him.
I was sad to see the Sister go, I read some interviews that SMG was crushed because she really liked playing the character. But at the end of the day I go back to the scene in the Death Star Board room when Tarkin assures Vader that he's the last of that ancient religion.
Since Tarkin knows about Kanaan and Ezra its pretty clear that they're not going to be around by the time the Death Star is fully operational. I think it also means that the Inquisitors won't be around as they are really only there to kill Jedi, they are truly disposable, Vader and especially Palpatine won't really want ambitious Force Users hanging around because they are a threat to both. Palpatine will always seek to replace Vader because he believes that Vader isn't strong enough to succeed him. Vader wants an apprentice so he can throw down Palpatine.
I think the other key was that Maul mentioned that only a Sith or one who thinks like a Sith can open the Holocron. Ezra opened it easily, we know that he is obsessed with saving his friends and beating the Empire, so it would be no surprise that a lot of what Maul said last night would resonate. He also has to be feeling really guilty about not only seeing Ahsoka die, but his trusting nature lead to his master being blinded. I figure that one more event where a friend gets hurt will lead to Ezra's long fall into the night.
Looking things up the voice of the female Sith Lord was played by the same actress that played Ventress, I thought that was pretty cool.
Its a long time to October, and this show really found its legs in the last half of the season.
I think that we will see some things next year.
1) Kanaan will move more towards being a teacher and a mentor and a strategist then a warrior.
2) What power did Ezra unlock in that holocron. in the EU legends, Bane found Revans holocron and once he had the knowledge he destroyed it and made his own. It could be Bane's since Bane is Canon thanks to TCW's. Or it could be the female un named Sith Lords. But it will be interesting to see how it relates to Ezra.
3) It sounds like Sabine is going to get a boost up, she's a member of death watch and clan Vizla which again was featured heavily in the last season of TCW. I'm still convinced for now that the Knights of Ren could be a mispell of her last name if Ezra is Snoke.
4) Chopper and Rex and Zeb don't have much story left to tell. I felt really bad for Rex and his loss.
5) We've gotten Hera's back story now, so I think next year is going to focus more on the force users then the crew. I also think the Death Star is going to be a huge part of the story element as well.
