I fell for a similar list before Obi-Wan...not again!

 

I like how they recommend you watch all of Rebels, which isn't a show about Ahsoka, but not Clone Wars, which is her show...or the film in which she's introduced. Classic Didney Star Wars fan logic.

I mean, this show is quite literally a continuation of Rebels.

[mstrox 6,654]

Yeah, this show includes (at least) Hera, Sabine, and Chopper based on the trailer, and almost certainly Ezra and why not Zeb - and it’s following up on the cliffhangerish finale from Rebels in which

Spoiler

Ezra and Thrawn vanish into hyperspace

 

as glanced upon in Mando S2.

[GerateWohl 4,403]

Characters like Thrawn or Ahsoka, which seem to appear in every epoche of Star Wars confuse me with their story arc.

Thrawn was originally introduced after episode for after the death of the emperor. But his story beginns at the height of the empire. And he appears in Rebels already as imperial officer which takes place before the battle of Yavin. 

Ahsoka started to appear in the clone wars before episode 3 and then again after episode 3 in Rebels before Yavin.

Then she appeared again in The Mandalorian which is about 3-5 years after the battle of Endor. And there she is still looking for Thrawn, a search she started in Rebels before Yavin (She seems to be really bad at searching people).

As I understood, the upcoming Filoni movie will merge The Mandalorian, Book of Boba and Ahsoka, I guess the series takes place in parallel to The Mandalorian? Or am I mistaken?

Bottom line: A lot of this does not make to much sense from a timeline perspective.

Anyway.

Will probably be entertaining. Even though I was rather annoyed by live action Ahsoka, because she was so badly scripted.

[mstrox 6,654]

With that said, I’m sure there will be no major barrier to entry if you go in cold or only with Mandoverse knowledge. It’s Star Wars, not rocket science.

But from Ahsoka's appearance in season 2 of TM we know that she is still searching for Thrawn.

[mstrox 6,654]

Right, which supports the fact that this series is basically a live action Rebels sequel.

[Faleel 5,376]

Ahsoka's search was post Endor not just post Yavin.

 

 

[mstrox 6,654]

Yeah, there’s a shortly post-Endor epilogue in Rebels where they embark on the search for Ezra.

No clone wars film? That is her introduction.

 

and you can then experience the from cringe to great character development completely

Cringe to slightly less cringe but now with overstaying her welcome by being jammed into nearly every important saga event

I don’t think the creators see it like that, Filoni has said you can watch this and only this whilst still following what’s happening (which remains to be seen but hints at the intent there)

That doesn't mean it's not a continuation.

You were literally responding to counter what someone was saying about needing to watch other media as a prerequisite for this show. I’m pointing out that according to Filoni that’s not how he sees it and thus the intent is likely to be primarily a standalone thing that informed viewers can get extra appreciation out of

 

If Mandalorian is any indication it’s actually better to not be familiar with the other material, otherwise characters like Bo Katan seem even more baffling because of how it jars with her previous appearances

Looks incredible!

[Luke Skywalker 1,798]

Look really good.

 

i think the two dark jedi are emperors hands. Well see.

 

i dont like the look of thrawn though i like they kept the voice from the cartoon. So in the end im fine with it.

 

im really interested in sabine as she is force sensitive, i think it was hinted in the series but was not clear.

 

i loved seeing an E-Wing.

[1977 1,743]

For those that have seen Clone Wars and Rebels, how engaging are they to adults? I've seen the CW "movie" (and wish I hadn't) but I understand that the series improved over the years. I've also seen a few episodes of Rebels from season 1 which were okay but not enough to have me clamouring to watch the series. Obviously we don't how heavily this show will rely on knowledge of the previous animated iterations of Ahsoka yet, but I hope that it will still be enjoyable and make narrative sense for non-CW/Rebels viewers.

3-7 of CW started to hew more adult (while still having some arcs/episodes that were lighter, for example 1 or 2 silly droid/Jar-Jar episodes) but not entirely like Andor/LOTR/Dark Night level or anything.

I think you need to see Ahsoka as a sort of Rebels Season 5.

 

I thought both Clone Wars & Rebels were fantastic shows. Both take some adjusting because at the start they do see more like kids shows. But both quickly become some of the best Star Wars for me.

 

This might be a handy guide for Rebels

You're going to be left wanting for both on that level, and I expect Ahsoka to be reliant on past material whilst not explaining it to the unfamiliar but also contradict it, as that has been the pattern so far

I think chapter 69 was called “Jedi night”?

[JNHFan2000 2,974]

I took this from the internet, so if it's a typo, it's not me

[Stark 317]

Clone Wars and Rebels both start out as somewhat kid-oriented, but they also both get into some pretty heavy stuff (trauma, maiming, murder, genocide) and are full of action and death.

Rebels more-so than Clone Wars has a habit of swerving to more kid friendly zones when things are starting to get particularly compelling. Clone Wars doesn't really pull any punches but it also doesn't tackle these really heavy themes with much nuance, and it does a pretty bad job at depicting a galactic war

[Gabriel Bezerra 308]

If you like anthologies, jumping perspectives or think the prequels need more development you will find a lot to enjoy in Clone Wars.

 

If you like family dynamics, coming of age, found family and the mystery of the Force you will find those things in Rebels.

 

Both are great in their own way, Rebels might be easier to finish in time since there are less episodes than Clone Wars (and it's probably the one that's important to Ahsoka the most), both are just 20 min long. 

 

They are finding their footing in Season 1 of Rebels but there's a lot to enjoy and not a single thread that doesn't pay off later, I think episode 5 is where things start to heat up.

[JNHFan2000 2,974]

I'm soooo excited for this!!! Ahsoka is probably my favorkte Star Wars character

You say that almost on a daily basis.

That means you're addicted to the word 'excited'. 

[Knight of Ren 789]

I'm also really excited for this show! It looks like it's going to be a great show, and Ahsoka has definitely become one of my favorite characters in the saga after watching The Clone Wars and Rebels. And it's so great to see the Ghost crew in live-action! I hope they can stick the landing with this one and deliver a great show.

Yesss!

 

I also can't wait for Kiner's score.

It's gonna be cool to finally hear Thrawn's theme on album after seasons 3 & 4 of Rebels weren't released

[Knight of Ren 789]

Yeah, I really like some of his themes, particularly for Rebels' later seasons. Thrawn, Sabine, Kanan, Ahsoka, Hera, all fantastic themes that I cannot wait to hear in the show in one way or another (well, perhaps Kanan's theme won't appear but I'm hoping at least for a brief flashback or something like that).

 

And I also hope they do a lengthy release like they did with Clone Wars S7 to compensate for the lack of soundtrack releases for many of The Clone Wars and Rebels seasons.

[JNHFan2000 2,974]

Speaking of Kiner... and I'm seeing multiple positive reactions to the music

First clip with score:

 

 

[Bespin 8,487]

A TV journalist on my X timeline watched the first two episodes of the series and labeled them as "COLD."

 

Is Ahsoka intentionally portrayed as a cold character, anyway?

[mstrox 6,654]

Dawson’s portrayal was very emotionless in Mando/BOBF as well - whether that was a direction from the script/producers or just her take on the character, it didn’t seem like there was much going on.

[Faleel 5,376]

I have seen it described as "having seen shit"

[Toillion 216]

It’s Ahsoka time!

[Brando 1,864]

I really liked the first two episodes. They were really good.

[Toillion 216]

Yeah it was a pretty good start. I wonder how those who haven’t seen the Rebels show will feel about it so far. 

[PokeDocMatt 57]

The crawl… goodness. Just a block of text sliding up the screen. At least make it fade into the distance. And what was that opening bridge scene, Star Trek?? There was something else off with the first episode… oh yeah. Let’s spend three minutes watching a video game style solve a puzzle to reveal the treasure. Added nothing to the character or plot. 
 

Still, I have hope.
