I've never watched any of the animated shows, and I still thought that episode was loads of fun. I don't think you need to be a SW super nerd to understand what's going on story-wise. Overall this show does a pretty great job of catering to hardcores, the not-so-hardcores, and newbies alike. Granted, I'll admit I did google some stuff before watching the episode, which certainly added to my enjoyment of it.
I thought Rosario was terrific, and I loved the western/samurai vibe of the episode. I'm hoping we'll see more of Ashoka going forward, but I agree this did feel like kind of a one-off episode for that character.
Quick question for the hardcores: when Ashoka mentions that there aren't many Jedi left, does she mean Luke and Leia? Are there others from the animated shows/books who might be alive? I assume she'd definitely be aware of Luke since he played such a huge role in taking down the Empire and defeating Vader/Palpatine.
