The Untold Clone Wars Panel at CELEBRATION ANAHEIM, featuring Dave Filoni and Pablo Hidalgo, now on STARWARS.COM, revealed lots of mouth watering gems that we deeply wished had come to fruition in Seasons Seven and Eight: a variation on the John Wayne western classic The Searchers, involving  the Tusken Raiders, advancing bounty hunter Boba Fett and his new mentor in Cad Bane; the Wookiees and the Bad Batch Clones on Kashyyyk, Dooku battling Boba Fett, Embo and the bounty hunters; Ventress and Vos in the upcoming Dark Disciple novel, and an early idea for a potentially lethal First Contact scenario between the Expanded Universe's popular Yuuzhan Vong and the Jedi. But it would be the return of Ahsoka Tano prior to her official appearances in REBELS that proved the most interesting, seeing her on a speeder bike entering the shady Level 1313 on Coruscant. When her clip was completed, not much was said about who the character was with the goggles watching her misadventure. To me, it looked like a young Han Solo, not yet having garnered his famous chin scar. And don't forget, in an early script draft, he was almost in EPISODE III on Kashyyyk, where he would have been around fourteen years old. The clip was also given some introduction by Dave Filoni, who said that this particular Ahsoka episode had a storyline conceived by George Lucas with a very intentional Indiana Jones-esque vibe to it. Potential hint, there!?

Anyone at LUCASFILM want to confirm this?
