It’s not “great”, but that’s through the lens of a old man. It’s written for young adults, so generally frenetic, predictable, and without consequence.

End of season 2 was quite well done, but that was because it was capitalizing on the cache of Vader and Maul, not on its own merits IMO. I sort of laughed when I realized how Obi-Wan’s climax was a straight ripoff from it though!

I can see getting mileage out of it if you are hard core into SW, but if Disney is relying on it’s lore as a fundamental for the Ahsoka show there is naturally going to be a huge amount of confusion (like the Inquisitor smoke monster).

It’s sort of like being required to watch the Star Trek Animated series before Strange New Worlds?

All that said, maybe the last season and a half will change my opinion.

Rebels does what Clone Wars does, it starts as written for Kids and young adults and shifts slowly as it goes along to become darker and more adult like. I mean.

Spoiler!

You get murders, genocide, main character deaths, torture. Betrayal, and some absolute heart break.
