I think watching rebels will let you enjoy the Ahsoka show more but I also think that watching The Clone Wars will definitely let you enjoy Ahsokas character more if you haven't already seen it. it's not a show you have to react to or anything but Ahsoka is a main character in her teenage years in TCW and it'll also enhance your watch of Rebels as well. the last couple seasons of the Clone Wars is some of the best star wars content

Yes. You should definitely watch Rebels. It looks like most of the characters are coming back. I'm an OG Star Wars fan from back in the day. I watched all the movies, and loved them. I did not watch any of the animated shows. Not because I thought they were cartoons for kids, but because I'm strictly a movie watcher. I typically don't want to know any of the lore. I just like the movies. Well... back when the Mandalorian came out, I enjoyed the first season. During the 2nd season, commenters were hinting that I would want to have watched Clone Wars and Rebels for context of characters coming up. Well... since I was locked down in the house, I didn't really have anything else to do, so I binge-watched all 7 seasons of Clone Wars (Season 7 had just come out), and Rebels. So, when Bo Katan and Ahsoka showed up in Mandalorian, I knew who they were. And, that was nice. We recently saw Zeb, from Rebels, in a Mandalorian episode, in this trailer, we saw Sabine, and Hera, and Chopper, the back of Thrawn's head, and a hologram of Ezra. So... yeah... I think this is going to be a Rebels heavy show. And, I'm okay with that. Rebels is only 4 seasons. You have plenty of time to watch it before August. Thank you for your reactions. I'm enjoying your channel. Take care!

Actuially - yes! - To really understand who Ahsoka is you not only "have to" watch Rebels but also the full Clone Wars tv-show including the Clone Wars pilot movie where Ahsoka was first introduced. Her whole character is crazy good written. I watch and play Star Wars for decades. I remember meeting many characters - especially some "fallen Jedi" who still fight against the dark side were really great (like in the game Knights of the old republic an old Ex-Jedi called Jolee Bindo). Watching the whole ark of Ahsoka taught me what this really could mean. Becoming a Jedi. And... find an own way. Its a lot stuff to watch both shows - Clone Wars AND Rebels. 10 seasons... one pilot... hours and hours. In my opinion they are worth it. Cause you do not only get to know Ahsoka much more but SO MUCH about Anakin, Obi Wan, Yoda... and... so much about the Mandalorian plot. There are some so great moments in there...

Actually, it was George Lucas who came up with the idea for Ahsoka. He decided Anakin should have a young girl as a Padawan, she should be the same species as Jedi master Shaak Ti, and he also gave her her original name (Ashla). Henry Gilroy and Dave Filoni then helped flesh the character out (Gilroy is the one who changed her name from Ashla to Ahsoka). Over the years Ahsoka has become Filoni's favourite character, so he does deserves most of the credit for shaping her into the character we know and love.

The moment that gave real chills is when she said "Heir to the Empire" which is the name of the first of three books known as the "Thrawn Trilogy", written by Timothy Zahn. The books are now considered "Legends" and not part of the official canon, but they are still worth reading being considered the best Star Wars novels ever written by many. They introduce the Admiral Thrawn character as well as another favorite Legends character we haven't heard mentioned but many still would love to one day see: Mara Jade. Admiral Thrawn is a large part of the Rebels show, and judging from the trailer and previous rumors the Ahsoka show is going to delve into a lot of what happens in Rebels so it really is recommended viewing. One additional little thing, the droid shown near the end of the trailer is also a character from The Clone Wars named Huyang and is voiced by none other than David Tennant (Doctor Who, Killgrave in Jessica Jones). Ahsoka was originally introduced in The Clone Wars movie and series, and a lot of it centers around her as Anakin's apprentice. The Clone Wars series is long, so if you don't have time to watch it all, I'd suggest watching Season 5, episodes 17-20, which shows a significant turning point in Ahsoka's life as a Jedi Padawan. And then watch Season 7, episodes 9-12 (the series finale arc), which shows events happening on Mandalore in conjunction with Revenge of the Sith (also a good primer for the current season of The Mandalorian). If you search it out, you can actually find fan-edits that combine these last four episodes with ROTS into one long 4-hour chronological movie.

A few points of interest: We see a clear inspiration and homage to the original book series by Timothy Zahn, the so-called Thrawn trilogy from legends. In the trailer, Ahsoka even says the name of the first book, Heir of the Empire. Orange lightsabers are unprofessionally homemade, unstable, similar to Kylo Ren's. This is a reference to the Dark Forces Jedi Knight game series, where the dark Jedi cult had such swords. From this series, we could already see Dark Troopers used in The Mandalorian. Filoni is a big fan of Legends and uses the best of them in the canon. Dark Jedi - not inquisitors, there are speculations in the trailer that it will be Jorus C'Baoth and Mara Jade. We see Ezra for the first time on the hologram. Hera is the wife of Ewan McGregor :)

From Rebels...Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla...the small hologram that Sabine was looking at was Ezra Bridger, and the astromech droid Chopper, and the droid Huyang (voiced by 10th and 14th Doctor David Tennant of Doctor Who). I haven't seen all of Rebels, but a lot of the Darksaber backstory involving Bo-Katan during The Mandalorian is in Rebels (and it also involves Sabine). I am probably gonna marathon all of Rebels in preparation for this show, and quite a bit of The Clone Wars later seasons as well. The figure you only see the back of their head in a white uniform is Grand Admiral Thrawn, one of the most amazing and terrifyingly brilliant villains in all of Star Wars. No one is totally sure who is playing Thrawn...some say the voice actor from Rebels Lars Mikkelsen (brother of Mads Mikkelsen), and there have been rumors that it could be Benedict Cumberbatch. I don't know...Thrawn was created for the original Legends novels 'Heir of the Empire', 'Dark Force Rising', and 'The Last Command' by Timothy Zahn, which were for many years the real sequel trilogy to the Star Wars films.

Hey, Vicky! "Clone Wars", "Tales of the Jedi", "Bad Batch" and "Rebels" all need to be seen to appreciate all future live-action developments. The roots of all these characters are in the animated Filoniverse. The robot HUYANG is from "Clone Wars". He is voiced by DAVID TENNANT best known as Kilgrave from "Jessica Jones" and as an iteration of Doctor Who. AHSOKA TANO originated in "Clone Wars" and has three "Tales of the Jedi" episodes dedicated to her. She made her transition to live-action in "The Mandalorian" played by ROSARIO DAWSON. SABINE WREN, with the colored hair, originated in "Rebels" and wielded the DARKSABER. HERA SYNDULLA, the green Twi'lek, originated in "Rebels" and her origin was told in "Bad Batch". MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD is playing her. Her father, CHAM SYNDULLA, is from "Clone Wars". CHOPPER the astromech is from "Rebels". The hologram is probably EZRA BRIDGER from "Rebels". MON MOTHMA is from the movies but has been fleshed out in "Andor". GENEVIEVE O'REILLY reprises the role. At this point in the timeline, she is the SUPREME CHANCELLOR of the NEW REPUBLIC whose capital is her homeworld of CHANDRILA. Diana Inosanto played MAGISTRATE MORGAN ELSBETH on "The Mandalorian" and is BRUCE LEE's goddaughter. GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN, the blue-skinned Chiss tactical genius, originated in the Timothy Zahn book trilogy known as the THRAWN TRILOGY. He appeared as a primary antagonist in "Rebels" and is being portrayed by the same voice actor LARS MIKKELSEN best known from "The Witcher". 'HEIR TO THE EMPIRE' is the first book of the Thrawn Trilogy. ROSARIO DAWSON says the phrase. RAY STEVENSON of "Rome" and the MCU's Volstagg is playing a Dark Jedi. THE WORLD BETWEEN WORLDS is the star chamber through which different times can be accessed. THE SPIRE structure is Ezra's home on Lothal.

FYI the title is spelled wrong. You wrote Ashoka, whereas the character is spelled Ahsoka.

I think Rebels is a 100% must watch for this. There's just so much from that incorporated in this. Like...a lot. Pretty much the entire plot from what we can gather. But with that being said 'Rebels' is one of the greatest things that Star Wars has done. 'The Clone Wars' would absolutely help in terms of defining who Ashoka is and what she's gone through (ugh) but 'Rebels' is directly linked to this and would make everything more enjoyable in my opinion. So my vote is to "watch Rebels" because it's honestly a fantastic show and doesn't even take a ton of time to get through the whole thing.

Yes! You definitely have to watch Rebels before this and if you want even more Ashoka then I would highly suggest The Clone Wars as well! I was personally pretty hesitant in watching them because I thought they would be really childish but boy was I wrong.

In my opinion (from what I see right now) modern StarWars basically builds on Rebels, both the World Building from that show and specific plot points. With now even the addition of building on it's characters I think (personally) that Rebels is the most important show to watch it you want to know more about the world of modern StarWars (even more important than CloneWars as that era has kind of finished it's Media-Cycle). It definitely helps that (in my opinion) Rebels is one of the best StarWars shows made to date (which is why I am actually a bit worried still for Ashoka as I fear they are not going to be able to capture these characters again)

A little Easter Egg for you: Ahsoka's line about "Thrawn's return as heir to the Empire" is a reference to the book series that introduced Thrawn into the Star Wars Expanded Universe (now called Legends) in the 1991 called "Heir to the Empire". It's a fantastic series and I highly recommend reading it. It's not canon anymore with the new Thrawn books (which are also great reads), but it's a really good start into Thrawn.

Definitely be sure that you’ve seen Clone Wars and Rebels. Both will give Ahsoka’s character the full immense depth of who she is, and Rebels will make the Ahsoka series make that much more sense, as well as them both being some of the best pieces of Star Wars content. Both shows are so worth the watch!!! Arguably my two favorite shows-even compared to the live action shows.

I'm old school; the first three are the best. Not much for the other six movies, but I love the ships. Some day when I get the money together I'm going to build the Millennium Falcon model kit. Don't know a whole lot about Ahsoka, except who she started training with at first. Still had a good time watching the dedicated Star Wars reactors squeeing over this preview. One interesting tidbit: Hayden Christensen will be playing Anakin Skywalker, but I have no idea how much screen time he'll get. He was hardly _in_ Kenobi.

You should 100% watch Rebels before August. If you haven't seen The Clone Wars, it would be better if you could knock that out as well, but that's a bigger commitment as there are many more episodes of TCW than there are for Rebels.

100% would recommend watching Rebels! I was never a massive Star Wars Fan (I've seen the movies when I was younger) but Rebels really brought me back into Star Wars, and now I'm more excited now that I've ever been for the future of Star Wars content. Especially, if based on the tone of this trailer, the storyline to Rebels may be continued into this show.

"Rebels" and "The Clone Wars" are a must-watch, especially the latter since that was where she first came from. Clone Wars, though, is super long. Almost 300 frickin' episodes through seven seasons. It's best to watch the essential episodes, starting with the movie and ending on the final season. Trust me, you'll love Ahsoka even more as you watch those.

The show seems to be an amalgam of The Clone Wars / Rebels and some hints of elements of Timothy Zahn's Thrawn series of Novels the first being "Heir to the Empire" which was name dropped in the trailer.

I think Davr is including enough of the lore for people who haven't seen "Rebels" can follow the story. However, if you watch "Rebels", you'll get more of a context. There have been a few references in this season of "The Mandalorian" that people who have not watched "Rebels" have missed or thought not important. Like Grogu seeing the purgel in hyperspace or the appearance of Zeb in "The Pirate". The one plot point that will need some context is Ezrah Briger - why he is important and why are Ahsokah and Ssbine looking for hom. Without a lot of exposition dump, you will not know who this guy is. More so, without watching "Rrbels", you may nit have the emotional connection to Ezera and not understand why Ssbine is so passionate about finding him.

Polecam obejrzeć The Colne Wars i Rebels przed serialem o Ahsoce. W The Clone Wars zaczyna się historia Ahsoki i mocno rozwija, a sam serial jest bardzo emocjonujący (szwłaszcze w późniejszych sezonach) i rozwija mocno historię między Attack of the Clones i Revange of the Sith. W Rebels jest kontynuowana historia Ahsoki, nie jest tam główną postacią, ale bardzo ważną. Za to historia przedstawionej tam załogi jest bardzo fajna i istotna. Serial Rebels dzieje się między Revange of the Sith, a New Hope. Tak jest to różnica 19 lat, a Rebels dzieją się około 5 lat przed New Hope. Jest też któtki serial Tales of the Jedi, który także watro obejrzeć i pokazuje on historię Ahsoki, jednak warto go obejrzeć po The Clone Wars, ponieważ akcja w nim przedstawiona dzieje się zaraz po The Clone Wars i Revange of the Sith. Kolejność chronologiczna (nie kolijność pojawiania się): - The Phantom Menace - Attack of the Clones - The Clone Wars - Revange of the Sith - Tales of the Jedi - The Bad Batch (na ten moment nie istotne dla omawianej historii) - Kenobi (nie istotne dla omawianej historii) - Rebels - Solo (nie istotne dla omawianej historii) - Rouge One (nie istotne dla omawianej historii) - New Hope - Empire Strikes Back - Return of The Jedi - The Mandalorian Season 1-2 - The Book of Boba Fett - The Mandalorian Season 3 - Ahsoka Season 1 - The Force Awakens (nie istotne dla omawianej historii) - The Last Jedi (nie istotne dla omawianej historii) - Rise of Skywalker (nie istotne dla omawianej historii, jednak pojawił się tam na chwilę głos Ahsoki, tak jak kilku innych Jedi z czasów przed Imperium)

TCW gives you Asokas character, Rebels will give you the background plot for the show Asoka. Rebels is much more necessary than TCW to understand the show, since it includes all the major characters and the main villain. They will probably make Asoka understandable without watching all the other content but you won't get any of the characters extended backstories, character development or connections to each other. This is shown very clearly in the shot or Asoka coming off the ship and meeting Sabine on the tower it's literally a shot from the epilogue of Rebels. There is also a very high chance Asoka (and to a lesser extend Rebels) will both be pretty required watching to continue watching the Mandalorian past season 3 (just like how Book of Boba Fett is basically required before you watch the Mandalorian season 3). There is already a lot of Bo Katan's backstory contained in TCW and Rebels.

You should watch The Clone Wars and THEN Rebels. Not only Rebels continues some plot points of The Clone Wars, it makes Rebels more enjoyable. And you said you wanted a show about Ahsoka, and The Clone Wars is basically that. She's one of the main characters. Ahsoka doesn't appear that much in Rebels either...
