What should I watch before the premiere so I can be all caught up with the events of the show?
Rebels, find a watch list if you want to skip the more kiddy first season but it's really all worth watching. Then just know that ahsoka made a cameo in the book of boba Fett where she is trying to find admiral thrawn, and that she knows luke and maybe helped him with his school for a time but it's not clear on that
The worst parts of Rebels are so much better than the worst parts of TCW.
I feel top tier TCW was a little better than top tier Rebels, but, man, bottom line barrel TCW is trash.
Agreed. And season 7 is kinda cheating since it came out after Rebels, but damn that last arc with Maul, Ashoka, and Rex compete with the films.
I’m going to guess that they try to make the characters and history make sense to audiences that have only seen the live action series but it looks like a direct continuation of Star Wars Rebels.
yeah this show is going to be too mainstream for them to just throw it at the audiences that haven't watched the animated series without giving background. Otherwise all the more casual star wars watchers are going to be constantly asking "who's this, who's that, why does this matter, why does it seem like we've seen him before?".
Of course, the other route they could take is writing in such a way that you don't really need any of the backstory for this story to be told, but I doubt that's going to be the case for some reason
