The 2023 Her Universe Trend Present will rejoice 100 years of Disney with surprises and giveaways to go along with the annual showcase of geek couture, and that Disney celebration makes it all of the extra becoming that the Star Wars star had some recommendation for followers earlier than Ahsoka’s Disney+ debut in August. After I spoke with Ashley Eckstein forward of the style present, I requested whether or not she feels Star Wars Rebels and The Clone Wars are price watching even because the franchise strikes ahead, and he or she defined:
Oh, completely!

As a result of when you do not, you are going to miss out on essential, essential backstory that you really want to know to completely benefit from the Ahsoka sequence, which is so thrilling.
Ahsoka was key to The Clone Wars from begin to end, and her function in Star Wars Rebels was pivotal by the tip of the sequence. In reality, the new Ahsoka trailer means that there will probably be some extraordinarily robust ties between the brand new Ahsoka TV present and the animated sequence that resulted in 2018. In reality, watching Rebels may also give followers a background on characters like Sabine, Hera, and Grand Admiral Thrawn as a part of the Ahsoka solid. Ashley Eckstein continued:

Any likelihood I get, I inform followers, ‘Go and watch it and binge it earlier than you watch the Ahsoka sequence. It is actually gonna matter.’
With Ahsoka debuting for Disney+ subscribers on August 23, there may be nonetheless loads of time to delve into her backstory by way of Clone Wars, Rebels, and Tales of the Jedi. For followers of the live-action exhibits whose solely expertise with the character could also be from her transient appearances in The Mandalorian and The Guide of Boba Fett, some additional background might fill in numerous blanks. As Ashley Eckstein identified, watching and rewatching tends to be a part of the Star Wars expertise for diehard followers. She went on:
After which Clone Wars and Rebels and even Tales the Jedi basically… You already know, sooner or later, most Star Wars followers return and watch the flicks. They watch Episodes IV, V, and VI, and I, II and III. Properly now, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, they’re part of that timeline. It is a part of the story. It is a part of the general trajectory and journey of those characters, so with out watching these sequence, you are type of lacking out. They’re all related. I extremely advocate that followers watch them.
