Is 'Ahsoka' really just a sequel to 'Rebels,' or could it find its way and become something new and unique?
The Big Picture The first two episodes of Ahsoka have been great, but they also left a ton of viewers scratching their heads. With lots of references to the animated series Star Wars Rebels, there's a general feeling that this new series may be too dependent on previously existing lore to make itself understood as a story in itself.
When people talk about the series having too many ties to Rebels, they are actually referring to Ahsoka's relationship with Sabine Wren . The two of them have a master-and-apprentice dynamic that is definitely treated as required knowledge, but we didn't see this develop on-screen during Rebels.
Now, Ahsoka, who we see as an eternal apprentice, finds herself in the position of master in what may as well be the culmination of her own story as a rebellious Light Side warrior. Although some of her story does take place in Rebels, she was a supporting character back then, while now the roles are reversed, and the Rebels characters provide support for her development.
Of course, the idea of masters and apprentices has also played a big role in Rebels, with Kanan Jarrus overcoming his own challenges to train Ezra Bridger as his Padawan — but that was always limited to those two, and never even touched Ahsoka and Sabine. Again, they barely spoke at all. In this sense, Ahsoka could have been Season 5 of Rebels if it kept the same storylines from the animated series, but it doesn't.
