Others have broken down who Ahsoka is, so here’s the Rebels breakdown:

Star Wars Rebels is a series about a small cell of rebel terrorists on the planet Lothal working to sabotage a tie-fighter construction project headed by Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn is a military genius who is consistently one step ahead of the protagonists while using the rebels’ attacks to help consolidate his power.

You have Kanen, a former jedi padowan who survived order 66 and is in hiding with Hera, a talented pilot. Kenan and Hera serve as the sort of “mom and dad” of the group as well as the leaders. They love each other, and conceive a child. The big purple monkey guy is mostly comic relief, but he’s also a tank and mechanic, like the goofy uncle. Chopper is their genocidal droid who likely has the largest body count of any Star Wars character. Sabine and Ezra start off as tweens and grow up into young adults during the series. They start out like adopted step-siblings that clash with one-another, but eventually become closer than friends and even romantic. Sabine is a Mandalorian while Ezra is a thief/scoundrel in training on Lothal. Kanen discovers Ezra is force sensitive, and begins training him as a jedi.

Ahsoka eventually finds the crew and is saved by Ezra from Darth Vader. Ahsoka knows Vader is Anakin, and she blames herself for his fall to the dark side after she left the order. Ahsoka trains Sabine to use the Dark Saber. Kenan sacrifices himself to save Ezra.

The show follows the terrorist cell as they slowly gather supplies and support and link up with other disconnected resistance cells that eventually coalesce into a broader Rebellion.

The final season features a “world between worlds” which is some sort of parallel dimension outside of space and time. There’s lots of spooky force ruins and temples. The Dark Witches of Dathomir are one example. They wield their own brand of magic different from the force. The men in their civilization look like Maul.

In the series finale, Ezra and Thrawn are transported to somewhere unknown by some weird hyperspace whale creatures. Sabine misses Ezra, and the Imperial remnants want Thrawn back to lead them. So, now everyone is searching for where the whales could have taken them. The lady with the spear that Ahsoka fought in Season 2 of “The Mandalorian” was a Dark Witch of Dathomir.
