Really liked this. I know fans of the Clone Wars series didn't like it, but I preferred it over Clone Wars. Clone Wars was more like Episodes 1-3. Very political. Everything was about the ongoing politics behind the war. Rebels is more like episodes 4-6. It's all about rebellion, and had hints of the Obi-wan/Luke relationship with the Jedi training a young inept Padawan.
The crossover stuff from Clone Wars was good as well. Like the Ahsoka Vs Vader fight, and the final fate of Darth Maul. Plus, this series leads into the upcoming Mandalorian stuff. The Ahsoka episode of the Mandalorian was heavily linked to Rebels. And the characters from Rebels are apparently going to feature heavily in the upcoming Star Wars content, especially the new Ahsoka series.
They have already cast one of the characters from Rebels.
Disney Plus' upcoming Ahsoka series has cast Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren from Star Wars Rebels.
