Also less chance of seeing Ahsoka?

Where Rebels bridged the PT and the OT trilogy and in a few ways fixed some Canon mistakes between the two.
This series takes place between the OT and the ST, and follows the rise of the First Order. From what I understand this is almost going to be in a way like a spy story where they unravel the mystery of the First Order and how it came to be as powerful as it is. What I do doubt is the focus on the rise of Snoke and Ren, they might be talked about, but I don't think that they will ever be put on screen, or if they are it will be brief like Vader in Rebels. I would like to see the transition of leadership and even an introduction of Rae Sloan, and Hux's father who were pretty much the founders of the First Order, and how they were swept aside by Snoke and young Hux and Phasma.
I would like to see Phasma make an appearance and actually be competent, I don't want to see a overwhelming first order until the end of the series, but more of the manipulations and the fall of the old Empire.
Also in terms of Ashoka, I don't think she's needed in this series, or should be in it, I'd like to see her stay in the unknown regions looking for Ezra. In fact I don't really want to see any of the characters. Hera would probably be old by then, as would Zeb. Ashoka would probably be about 60.
I don't want to see Luke or a young Ben Solo or Han unless its really brief. You could show Leia politically and the founding of the resistance if you wanted to. But like Rebels, I'd love to see this story stand on its own with its own characters.
