Star Wars” to streaming in a way that would satisfy lifelong fans without alienating anyone who has never before traveled to a galaxy far, far away. In many ways, that mission faces its greatest challenge with the newest “Star Wars” show, “Ahsoka.” Technically a spin-off of Rosario Dawson’s performance as former Jedi Ahsoka Tano on “The Mandalorian” and “The Book of Boba Fett,” the show is really a sequel to two “Star Wars” animated shows: “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels.” Taken together, these shows, which ran from 2008 to 2020, span 208 episodes of TV, and roughly cover the events between “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” and “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” (on “Clone Wars”) and “Revenge of the Sith” and “Star Wars: A New Hope” (on “Rebels”).
It’s a sprawling and intricate narrative foundation that can be intimidating to consider even for “Star Wars” fans who’ve seen all 11 “Star Wars” live-action feature films multiple times. Based on the first two episodes, “Ahsoka” creator and executive producer Dave Filoni — who directed “The Clone Wars” and co-created “Rebels” — has kept “Ahsoka” accessible to audiences who’ve never seen the animated shows.

She’s Togruta, from the planet Shili; the blue and white tendrils that emanate from her head are called lekku. Neither Ahsoka nor Anakin is exactly thrilled at first to be paired together, but they develop a strong

Building on the barbed sensibility she established with “Killing Eve,” the writer-director’s zeitgeist-throttling feature debut lured audiences like a bright red candy apple, leaving them with plenty to debate after the cyanide-laced sugar high wore off.
