Ahead of the Ninth Annual Her Universe Fashion Show at San Diego Comic Con on Thursday 20th July at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, Ashley Eckstein reiterated the need to watch as much Ahsoka Tano content as posible before diving into the live action Disney Plus series which arrives on Disney Plus on 23rd August.

“Oh, absolutely! I actually recommend to everyone who is excited about the upcoming Ahsoka series, I highly recommend that you take the time to watch Clone Wars, and watch Star Wars Rebels, and even Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. Because if you don’t, you’re going to miss out on crucial, crucial backstory that you really need to know to fully enjoy the Ahsoka series, which is so exciting.

We’re gonna get so many new and incredible stories, but without that backstory, and full understanding of who Ahsoka is and even who the other characters are, you’re not going to have as rich or in-depth of an understanding and appreciation of what’s going to happen in the series without the backstory, so I’m very grateful that Clone Wars and Rebels and Tales the Jedi are on Disney+. Any chance I get, I tell fans, ‘Go and watch it and binge it before you watch the Ahsoka series. It’s really gonna matter.

And then Clone Wars and Rebels and even Tales the Jedi in general… You know, at some point, most Star Wars fans go back and watch the movies. They watch Episodes IV, V, and VI, and I, II and III. Well now, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, they’re a part of that timeline. It’s part of the story. It’s part of the overall trajectory and journey of these characters, so without watching those series, you’re kind of missing out. They’re all connected. I highly recommend that fans watch them.”

Remember to come back here for our San Diego Comic Con coverage, where we’ll bring images from the Her Universe Fashion Show as we did back in 2022, 2021, 2019 and 2018.

Take Ashleys advice, go back and watch some key animated Ahsoka moments before rerfreshing with some season two The Mandalorian episodes and of course The Book of Boba Fett before we arrive at Ahsoka, and stay tuned for our group review, Making Tracks Reaction Chats and coverage across site, podcasts and socials here on Fantha Tracks.
