In case you missed it (because you live under a rock), Disney made an interesting adjustment to the release schedule. New Ahsoka episodes will now be available Tuesday nights at 9 pm (EST). That is the first thing you need to know. As far as setting expectations for Ahsoka, it comes down to how much animation you watch.
It has been said by Lucasfilm, Dave Filoni, and even Ashley Eckstein (the original voice of Ahsoka), the animated series will play a role in the story in this season. So let’s just get this out of the way.
If you did not watch Rebels you will probably be lost.
I cannot stress this enough. If you watch this show and you are confused and you complain about a missing plot or disconnected story, then this show isn’t for you. It is your fault. You cannot blame Filoni, Kennedy, or Iger. This is on you and only you. I do not expect them to recap four seasons for the casual fans that didn’t watch it.
Go. Watch. Rebels. All of it!
Thoughts and Predictions
I think this is going to be a series for the fans, specifically the Clone Wars and Rebels fans. There are many folks on social media referring to this first season as Season Five of Rebels. Typically I don’t give social media pundits much credit but this time it’s probably fairly accurate.
Warning! The following will contain spoilers for Rebels and Clone Wars.
Will we find out the fate of Barriss Offee? There is some speculation that the Inquisitor we see in the trailer, Marrok, is Barriss. I’m not so sure. Despite her role in framing Ahsoka, I feel like she will find redemption before she turns Sith.
We already know Hayden will be back as either a voice-over or in flashbacks. The latest tv spot provided that detail. We also heard a rumor that Temuera Morrison will return as Rex however, given the clones’ growth acceleration, he should be pretty old by now.
I’m not sure who else to expect; perhaps a Luke cameo. I do not expect a cameo from Din Djarin as this season is taking place at the same time as Season Three of The Mandalorian.
Get your lekku ready, Ahsoka arrives tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 9 pm EST only on Disney+!
What are your predictions?
