That was after the end of the OT. Rebels epilogue was post-Endor. The final episodes of Rebels show Ahsoka was either sent forward in time until after the OT or was stuck on Malachor with no way off it for the entirety of the trilogy. I don't know why you find this so confusing. I don't think it's confusing, I just think it's dumb.

I know a lot of people are attached to Ashoka and that’s fine, but am I the only person who thinks she’s Star Wars’ version of Lightning from the Final Fantasy series?
IE they keep trying and trying to make her a face of the franchise but a large group of the fanbase either doesn’t care about her, is completely indifferent to her or moved on from her a long time ago.

Honestly, as someone who really hasn't watched a whole lot of Rebels or Clone Wars, I'm very excited to see her to be honest. I've seen a very vocal majority of the internet gosh at her return, in fact some are kind pissed the voice actress for her isn't playing tbh, and that has caused a lot more interest in this season because of this reason. I know some people don't like her, I remember some people comparing her to Scrappy Doo when first introduced, but over time it has seemed like she made an impression on the Star Wars fanbase. Plus, with her being this solid connection to the clone wars era, it makes for an interesting juxtaposition between the past and the present. I'm very excited to see where this goes, Mandalorian has really revitalized the public's interest in Star Wars after the sequel trilogy made such a bad impression.

I feel like some people are underestimating how much the Star Wars community loves Clone Wars.
Consider the fact that it was originally a Cartoon Network show with Disney taking it off the air after the acquisition of Lucasfilm without even letting it end and replacing it practically with Rebels on Disney XD.
Do you know how rare it is for fan appreciation for a show that long off the air to get so much love and asking for it to come back for a large company like Disney to turn around and go “Alright, alright, we’ll do the last season on our streaming service”? That stuff rarely happens. Hell, it took the same amount of fan appreciation and asking to watch on the streaming services it was on to get Young Justice back on the air and that looked to be the same sort of lost cause years ago.
Like, if I were Lucasfilm and seeing what that series and Rebels did for their fan base, I sure as hell am going to reward that loyalty in other projects.

Do we know how long after ROTJ these stories are taking place? And yeah we've talked about Sasha Banks but has anyone mentioned Bosch as the Imperial dude?

Yeah, it takes place four years after Return of the Jedi and one year before the final collapse of the Empire.

I should probably watch Clone Wars and Rebels before going further with this season, eh?

I was wondering if we could end up seeing a youngling Ben Solo. Also where's the Bosch love. Come on, it's Bosch!

As it is known in canon, 9 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin)

I don't know who Ahsoka is, but apparently she's Anakin's Padawan?
I don't like that. Kinda dumb that Anakin had a padawan yet failed to completely mention her at all during AotC or RotS. Seems fanfictiony.

Seems fanfictiony. The majority of Clone Wars - as the title suggests - takes place between those two movies, and does a better job of telling Anakin's story than the movies do. You actually see his and Obi-Wan's great friendship as opposed to the constant bickering, and Ahsoka's part fits into the whole story much better than it should (though she is annoying as f*** for a while until the writers got a hold on the character).

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} The final arc is basically parallel to RotS, sometimes lifting scenes verbatim.

The recent reports of there being a lot of drama on set and them focusing less on the actual Mandalorian, plus Gina Carano being generally awful on social media has really dampened my excitement over this. Hopefully the magic comes back when the season starts. Seems like the shit is hitting the fan right now for her on social media. Twitter and Instagram may not be her top social media much longer. With this backlash, she might be out of Star Wars after this season.

It's the old "Realise you've dug a hole and ignore those telling you to not dig towards the Earth's core" approach of social media.

With this backlash, she might be out of Star Wars after this season. Given Jon Favreau and Pedro Pascal are both extremely vocal in their opposition of literally everything Gina Carano has been ranting like an unhinged lunatic about for the past couple of months, and Disney obviously won't care for the negative PR she's generating, I suspect that if Cara Dune isn't killed off during this season (and there's little reason to expect her to be) then she may simply not return for the third season.

Yeah, a lot of people forget that Revenge of the Sith takes place over a very short period of time. Plus the way its explained in the show ends up making a ton of sense. I mean, Filoni was being mentored by Lucas when he was making Clone Wars originally, so I don't know how that could count as fanfic if the creator of Star Wars is in on it.
