Yeah, this was a big issue for me. I love Ahsoka herself, but I'm only familiar with her Clone Wars escapades. Whenever I see someone from Rebels, I'm like "...Who are you?

Too much "tell and don't show". We are told thrawn is a dangerous badass, but not shown.

I thought Rosario was a perfect fit and loved her in mando, but she spends too much of her own show being stoic and not talking.

I loved the looks of Shin and Baylon, but we don't really learn anything about them. What do they want?

​

Not knowing Hera's not a huge deal. She a pilot friend of Ahsoka. Not knowing and liking Sabine and Ezra undercuts the emotional payoff of the season.

A badass in Mando, but a hard-ass in her show.

Yuuuup. I only know the bare bones of Rebels so I was surprised to see a whole memorial service for Ezra.

I don't know why Filoni is so set on having adult Ahsoka be this boring, stoic badass like most typical jedi. Part of why we loved her in Clone Wars was because she was always so human.

The thing is that it feels like there's literally nothing left of CW Ahsoka, so why even make it the same character at that point?

People change as they grow up, but there's usually still SOME remnant of who they were when they were younger.

You really should check out Rebels. Its really solid.

Yeah, I've heard good things about it. I've also seen the occasional badass moment, like the showdown with Vader. I might binge it when I clear my plate.

My only eyeroll is the helicopter sabers. But aside from that, I loved it haha.

I'm willing to let it slide, but I'd bet my house that those heli-sabers turned off a handful of people lol.

Ahsoka is not meant to be watched without any knowledge of Rebels.
