What to watch before Ahsoka: 10 essential Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels episodes

gamesradar.com:

What should you watch before Ahsoka releases on Disney Plus? Ahsoka Tano debuted in Star Wars' animated output and has appeared in countless Clone Wars and Rebels episodes, which can make figuring out where to begin a daunting task. Ahsoka is releasing this August, so there's not a lot of time to catch up, either. 

But we've done the Star Wars homework for you and put together a list of the 10 essential Clone Wars and Rebels episodes to watch before Ahsoka hits Disney Plus – and some optional extra episodes if you're looking to go even deeper, too. 

The live-action Ahsoka show will feature key Rebels characters Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi), and Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), so knowing your stuff before you kick back with the first episode is crucial – and, with Hayden Christensen rumored to be returning as Anakin Skywalker, catching up on The Clone Wars looks to be pretty important, too. 

If you want to get started on the animated shows in earnest, though, there's no better place to start than our guide on how to watch The Clone Wars in order.  

This episode wraps up a four-part arc that sees Ahsoka wrongly accused of bombing the Jedi Temple. Ahsoka is put on trial by Admiral Tarkin, facing the death penalty for a crime she did not commit, while the Jedi Council turns its back on her. Her faith in the Jedi Order is shaken so intensely by her ordeal that it changes her future forever. 

'The Wrong Jedi' isn't just essential to understanding Ahsoka's Jedi past and how she came to be the woman she is today, but it also showcases her bond with her one-time Master Anakin Skywalker. Snips and Skyguy were never quite the same after this
