Starting with the 1977 filmStar Wars,George Lucas created a whole universe that has spanned multiple media platforms over the years. Along with the franchise, its characters have also grown to have a massive catalog. And one such character also includes Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka. Introduced as a 14-year-old knight in the 2008 animated filmClone Wars, she has had several appearances over the years.
Followed by her appearances inThe MandalorianandThe Book of Boba Fett, she has now landed her first solo live-action series, which is just months away from its release. However, fans fear that the series might not be as good as expected, after a comment made by the lead star of the show.

Well I’ll enjoy it as long as the main cast of rebels isn’t in it

Honestly, I’m only interested if they actually conclude Rebel’s story and tie up the loose ends.If this show just exists to lead to more spin-offs I’m not gonna bother.

Well, you’ve got Ahsoka hunting for Thrawn, who was the main antagonist in Rebels, while also teaming up with the Ghost Crew, whom are her close friends, and also the main cast of Rebels. So yeah, it’s pretty logical for this show to feel like a new season of, well, Rebels.

then…why not make a 5th season of rebels??? 💀💀💀

If that is true I hope they touch on The Veil of The Force considering it’s a plot thread from Rebels and y’know why Ahsoka is even alive to begin with kinda a big deal.
