*** It should be noted that these cases of {{Foreshadowing}} regarding Anakin [[NewerThanTheThink weren't meant to be foreshadowing his having become Vader at the time of release]], [[FlipFlopOfGod despite what Lucas has said after the fact]]. Originally, Vader and Anakin really WERE meant to be separate characters, and that Luke's father never turned to the Dark Side. It was only during the scripting process for [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesback the next movie]] that the [[CompositeCharacter two characters were made one]] to condense the cast and amount of plotlines, and in the process, create a more interesting one involving the two figures.

** Carth and Bastila are almost walking foreshadow bombs. In Bastila's case, its because she's already in on the big secret, and is in over her head trying to keep it from the player while steering them on the path of conventional Jedi dogma. Carth is LockedOutOfTheLoop, but exhibits a weapons-grade GutInstinct that something isn't adding up and that the Jedi are hiding something. The former one can dismiss as just being a more senior Jedi trying to guide the lesser-trained player. The latter comes across as being angry and paranoid due to past betrayal.

When TheReveal is made, the cutscene flashes back to each character as they spoke these lines.
** This is actually one of the [[FridgeBrilliance brilliant]] things about ''Knights of the Old Republic'' which few people notice. The Jedi do not train past a certain age, but anyone playing this game will know about Luke Skywalker, trained when he was already a young man. The game plays on the player's own expectations to make this moment less significant than it should be, meaning they don't have to try and hide the foreshadowing because the player has already hidden it themselves. They ''do'' say that they make very rare exceptions for adult recruits, but even then, the player is liable to assume this has more to do with the war thinning their numbers, the same way there would've been no more Jedi if Luke hadn't been trained.
* A [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/KOTOR%202/Update%2059/index.html Let's Play]] of ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 2'' provides commentary on the narrative. At the end of the game [[spoiler:Kreia]] lampshades your expectations of [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/KOTOR%202/Update%2059/img-26.JPG a]] [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/KOTOR%202/Update%2059/img-27.JPG reveal.]]
** Earlier in ''Knights of the Old Republic 2'', an almost textbook example of this trope is given. In the first world, your characters are the only ones left on a mining colony, after the player character (a Jedi) was taken in. When you speak to Atton Rand, he logically deduces that you're the Jedi that everyone was talking about before he was locked up. However, he did not know of Kreia, and when he meets her, he says "Whoa, another Jedi, are you reproducing?" Except that's the first time he met Kreia -- how would ''he'' know Kreia is also a Force-user? He's Force-sensitive and was trained to ''kill'' Jedi -- only makes sense that he would know how to recognize them.

** Hera tells Sabine in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E05OutOfDarkness "Out of Darkness"]] that the reason all intel is on a need-to-know basis is that, if captured, the crew members can't reveal what they don't know. After [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E11CallToAction "Call to Action"]], Kanan is captured and tortured for information, but it's ultimately pointless because he doesn't know anything about a larger rebellion. Hera also reassures Sabine that there is a greater movement going on, which is revealed in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E13FireAcrossTheGalaxy "Fire Across the Galaxy"]] when several cells join forces to extricate our heroes, Bail Organa is revealed as a mover-shaker of the Rebels, and Fulcrum reveals their identity.
** A meta-example: A promotional slogan for the Season 1 finale, [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E13FireAcrossTheGalaxy "Fire Across the Galaxy"]], was "Who will fall?" It's the Grand Inquisitor, [[DisneyVillainDeath quite literally]].
** In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsTheSiegeOfLothal "The Siege of Lothal"]], Kanan at one point sarcastically addresses Hera as "General". Fast-forward a few years, and ''Film/RogueOne'' reveals via a namedrop that she's been promoted to that rank. It was later confirmed by Filoni at Celebration 2017 that Hera would be promoted to General by the series finale.

Sure enough, two episodes later, [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E15TheHonorableOnes "The Honorable Ones"]] involves Zeb saving Kallus' life as part of an EnemyMine situation, which ends up with Kallus beginning to genuinely question the Empire, opening the road to his redemption arc.

*** The Sentinel's mannerisms, voice, uniform, etc. are very similar to the Grand Inquisitor's, and it indeed is him before his fall. Also counts as FiveSecondForeshadowing, because he only has a total of about five minutes of screentime before he unmasks himself.
*** Kanan's interaction with the vision of the Temple Guard Sentinel becomes meaningful when he takes up an old Temple Guard mask to conceal his eye wounds. Also, in the first part of [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E19TwilightOfTheApprentice "Twilight of]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E20TwilightOfTheApprenticePartII the Apprentice"]], he briefly examines the petrified corpse of a masked Temple Guard.
*** Kanan realizes that he can't protect Ezra forever, only train him as best he can. In a case of DramaticIrony, Kanan's [[HeroicBSOD depression]] after the events of Malachor leads him to isolate himself and neglect Ezra's training, resulting in Ezra falling under the influence of the Sith holocron.
** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E18TheMysteryOfChopperBase "The Mystery of Chopper Base"]]:
*** Kanan and Ezra are sparring, and Kanan tells Ezra to keep his blade up, as raising it could cost precious time in deflecting an attack. This is exactly how he's blinded: he lets his blade down after a fight against the Inquisitors ends, Maul abruptly attacks him, and Kanan can't block it in time.
*** Before the Jedi trio leave to deal with the Inquisitors, Kanan promises Hera that they'll see each other again, and doubts he can keep that promise. This turns out to be ExactWords; while Kanan does return to the ''Ghost'', he was blinded on Malachor.
** The Fifth Brother is blind and uses the Force to see. Shortly after he dies, Kanan ends up blind and has to rely on the Force for vision.
** A cross-media example: In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsStepsIntoShadow "Steps Into Shadow"]], Agent Kallus comments with restrained, but audible, disdain that Thrawn's most recent victory in the Battle of Batonn (which got him promoted to Grand Admiral) had a large number of civilian casualties. Governor Pryce in response states that the casualties were "within acceptable limits". Come the ''[[Literature/StarWarsThrawn Thrawn]]'' novel, it's revealed that the civilian casualties at Batonn were all Pryce's direct fault, not Thrawn's, and only he and Eli Vanto suspect the truth.
** The Visual Guide for ''Film/RogueOne'' (released prior to the second half of Season 3, around the time ''Rogue One'' came out) revealed that Saw would conduct an investigation on Geonosis in 2 BBY, but his lungs would be poisoned with Geonosian insecticide, hence why he has a respirator by the time of ''Rogue One''. As Season 3 takes place during this time, we get to see this happen in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E10GhostsOfGeonosis "Ghosts of]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E11GhostsOfGeonosisPartII Geonosis"]]... though apparently the poisoning happens ''later''.
** Similarly, the same book revealed that Senator Mothma would become public enemy number one for publicly calling Palpatine a "lying executioner". The second half of Season 3 has the episode [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E16SecretCargo "Secret Cargo"]], in which Thrawn is going after Mothma for committing treason, as well as Mothma personally helping the Rebellion become the Rebel Alliance.
%%** ''Propaganda'' revealed that Sabine would create an artpiece depicting Hera and Phoenix Squadron as a gift to Hera, who would show it to Senator Mothma, who would then ask permission from Sabine to use it as a propaganda poster.
