Buzz from the first two episodes is good. I've seen it pointed out that's it's definitely not Andor, which I wasn't expecting it to be. Filoni couldn't do Andor if he tried, it's not just in his wheelhouse.

ANDOR is a very high bar and what I've seen of Ahsoka clips is that is more along the REBEL/CLONE WARS series which is what we want anyways.

I would hope not. Those first couple episodes were terrible

The buzz I’m seeing also says getting caught up by watching Rebels will definitely help understand the backstory of what’s going on. So take that as you will.

It'll be interesting to see how the series explains all the concepts introduced in Rebels to the uninitiated...

Or, like the Inquisitors in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, they could be thrown in with no explanation whatsoever. 🙄

I think the Inquisitors are easier to explain away.....someone not as versed in all things Star Wars can just assume they are more Sith, like Darth Maul....

However, Time Portals, Giant Wolves and other Force beasts could be a tougher sell....but who knows

[Dynaman]

Lets see if they ignore the time portal entirely.  Time travel is something that should only be added, to a show that is not specifically about it, after much thought.  If after that thought the writers still want to add it in they better hope their future selves come back and tell them what a can of worms they are opening.  If shows are lucky (Star Trek) they can get away with it - but it still leaves massive contradictions no writer can normally hope to cover. 

[Big s]

Please, no time portals or time travel of any kind or even multiverse crap. It always feels like the writers ran out of ideas and don’t know what to do

Those troublesome worms have already been unleashed from their cans during Rebels...unless they plan to do some massive retconning on what the World Between World is and can be done through it, which will upset the rabid fanbase, it will need to be addressed in Ahsoka....of course, they can go the Midichlorian route and just never bring it up again....lol

[ErikElvis]

I’m eerily optimistic for this. For the most part Disney has been a let down. No whammies! Give me a win.

I kinda thought about watching rebels, but after hearing that it has time travel I’ve decided I’m not missing anything

In season 4 , it's like an episode and a half. The whole season (and series) isn't about it. It's a plot thread from the animated clone wars. And it ties up quite finally.

Spoiler

In season 4, the Jedi temple on Lothal , where the portal is,  gets sealed up and disappeared like . Although, while in the temple,  Ezra is able to pull Ahsoka through a portal (of which there are many) while she's fighting her former master, now Darth Vader . He saves her , basically. They part ways , Ahsoka back to her time and Ezra leaves the temple . 

I don't see this plot thread coming into the new series. There's plenty of new content available to pick up the story where it left off , from Rebels.

I predict Ezra and Thrawn show up for the season finale.

Just hope that they don’t have to hijack the show like they did for Boba show

9PM Eastern release schedule? Seriously? That's when I'm winding down and getting ready for bed.

[Roy Focker]

Reviews I've been reading so far says it seems like a good show, but complete knowledge of the Clone Wars and Rebels seems to be a requirement.

Already recommended by the Star Wars folks themselves a while back....

Hera and Chopper.

Dinner is on the table.  3 minutes to go.

[Mog]

Yeah, as an old Rebels fan, these first two eps put a smile on my face!

I'll have more thoughts later.

[sh9000]

Excellent first 2 episodes!

Also, I'll say it again.

RIP Ray Stevenson.

[Roy Focker]

Slow and boring.
