What do you need to know about Rebels to understand Ahsoka? With the Star Wars show right around the corner, it's a fair question to ask – the live-action series looks to be a continuation of the animated show, which means you can't go wrong in brushing up on Rebels first.
Rebels, which aired from 2014 to 2018, follows a band of (you guessed it) Rebels who resist the Empire. It's set before the original trilogy, though the epilogue takes place post-Return of the Jedi. It features some pretty major revelations about the Force, as well as crucial plot points that will likely affect the future of Star Wars. In short, Rebels is an essential slice of the saga.
