The latest episode of The Mandalorian introduced Star Wars fans to a live-action version of Ahsoka Tano, and with the character's past rooted in shows like The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, it's no wonder interest in the former has increased massively since last Friday.
The Verge reports that Rosario Dawson's debut as the fan-favorite Jedi has led to The Clone Wars seeing a massive spike in interest; the same happened last year when The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+, and again when the seventh and final season of the animated series aired.
This time, it's Ahsoka Tano who is driving viewers to the series, and it's now four times more popular than it was the same time a year ago. It's not clear how much of a spike Rebels has seen, but after that big Grand Admiral Thrawn Easter Egg, it's likely fans are going back to learn what they can about the villain and what his possible live-action debut might mean for The Mandalorian.
Ahsoka is sure to return to the show at some point, but there's still lots to discover about her origin story. Plus, with Dave Filoni hinting that her final scene in Rebels came after what we saw last week, it should be worth another watch.
