I don't believe there is a thread for this already. So here it is.
Ahsoka starts on 23rd August on D+. Looks good from the trailers but then so did Mandalorian and Obi-Wanky Nobby.
I'll still watch it of course, but feel my Star Wars has been ruined by Andor being so good.

I'm going into it with lower expectations than Andor, hoping it'll be better than Obi Wan. Quite like the cast they've put together, worry as always will be the writing.

That sums it up for me too. There is always something good to see the visuals, the worlds, that they seem good at making but the writing within that world can be dodge to say the least.
Also looking forward to the Mando girl, she looks great.
I haven't seen Rebels, but not too worried about that. Should I be? Maybe it should have been Revels, and each one was a different sweetie.

Nexus6, are you able to not call it Ashoka (Glasgow curry chain). Looking forward to this, love a bit of Rosario.

I've enjoyed most of the Star Wars TV shows, even Obi Wan, so looking forward to some more (I've not seen Mando season 3 yet or Boba Fett).
Is Ahsoka in other shows besides Clone Wars and an episode of Mandalorian? Watched about a season and a half of CW. Should probably get back to it before watching this series.

I honestly up til this very moment thought it was Ashoka.
I last visited an Ashoka restaurant back in 2006 or 2007. I still get offers texted to my phone, despite repeatedly asking them to stop and not living anywhere near one. They really want me back.
Thanks for reading.

If I'm remembering right, I had a cold and ordered the hottest thing they had, which they saw as a challenge. I spent the rest of the night giving birth to 98% of my internal organs.

I'm only a few entries through an article on Indian food names and there are so many applicable to Star Wars.
Pav Bhaji and Pani Puri are spearheading a rebel incursion in the Chaat sector to try and uncover secret Imperial agent Medu Vada and his evil plans to enslave the galaxy

I still loved your concept, if that helps. I wrote it all down and I'll look at it again later.

As it's a live action sequel to Rebels I couldn't be more excited to see it, hopefully it's not a fuck up and as it's incredibly personal to Dave Filoni I would hope that means it won't be another Boba Fett or Kenobi.
Still not entirely convinced by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, not because I don't think she's up to the job but the make up certainly looks a tad dodgy as Hera. Everyone else looks fine and hopefully Zeb's cameo in Mando S3 means he'll be popping up a bit even though he's not been seen in any of the trailers. Clearly Chopper needs to commit lots of droid murder otherwise it won't be quite right. It'll be nice to go back to Lothal too.
Another reason to hope for the best is that it's probably one of the last times we'll ever see Ray Stevenson.
It's two episodes on day one so that's nice.

As someone who has seen Rebels then do I need to binge it in 3 days before this?

If it’s good, you should be fine watching it on its own.
A little bit of Clone Wars would help though, to become familiar with the character.

Filoni has said you don't need to have seen Rebels, Ahsoka herself has obviously been in the Mandalorian and the Fett episode that was really Mando S3E0 so she doesn't really need another introduction.

I thought the trailer was great, and Rosario Dawson is always decent, but after the last few shows I can't really work up much hope or excitement for this.
I haven't seen Clone Wars or Rebels, which doesn't really help.
I hear Ahsoka is a good character, but her live action appearances haven't really given her any kind of distinct personality or driving force. I'm not sure what she stands for, other than being a nice jedi.

I was a bit meh on the trailer. The dialogue, the "cool" lightsabre moments lacked that wow/originality factor.
I'll obviously watch it I'm hoping it's good but it feels more Boba Fett than Andor in terms of quality/polish.

I liked the trailer, but it did lean very heavily on 'cool lightsaber moments' and 'remember this character from Clone Wars', which rings some warning bells.

Didn’t someone lost in another thread about which episodes of Rebels/CW it’s worth watching to get background on her story?
