But it seems to me the stigma of being a kid's show means that SW Universe content will flow only in the direction of features down to Rebels as well as other properties like novels. That would preclude big details of Rey's parentage from originating in TCW/Rebels/Novels unless those producing the feature films are also orchestrating the storylines of the other media.

Dave Filoni and Simon Kinberg are intimately involved in everything Star Wars related and they absolutely have a say in how the universe evolves.
Also, I don't consider either Rebels or TCW to be "kid shows", as they're packed with adult ideas and violence.
When the Grand Inquisitor lopped off the heads of two Imperial officers in the season 1 finale of Rebels, it freaked out my 7 year old. I thought it was a little over the top for an animated series but things have only become darker since.
If Vader does indeed kill Ahsoka or leaves her for dead, it's going to traumatize a lot of kids that followed her journey but based on the episode titles, it looks like her end is near.
