Despite reportedly solid ratings and positive reactions to its two-part premiere, Ahsoka arrived with minimal fanfare on social media as cautious Star Wars fans were afraid to get burned again after The Mandalorian Season 3 failed to deliver.
However, Ahsoka quietly picked up steam before fans started going absolutely wild thanks to Episode 5 bringing The Clone Wars to life thanks to knockout performances by Hayden Christensen and Arianna Greenblatt. That fan fervor only increased as Grand Admiral Thrawn arrived in Episode 6 along with the live-action debut of Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger. Add in Ray Stevenson bringing dramatic gravitas week-after-week as Baylan Skoll, and Star Wars fans were fully hooked going into the Ahsoka finale.
As you can see by the reactions below, fans couldn’t get enough of the climactic ending, which hopefully, set the stage for Ahsoka Season 2. The feedback was off the charts as some fans as Ahsoka seems to have leap-frogged The Mandalorian as the best Star Wars TV series.
I’ll say it. #Ahsoka is my favorite live-action Star Wars show!
Delivered on ALL fronts.

Sitting here with tears in my eyes right now. #Ahsoka has exceeded all of my expectations and delivered an emotionally fulfilling story that beautifully expands upon, but also enriches, what came before. I just couldn’t be more satisfied

#Ahsoka SPOILERS!!!
The way i physically and emotionally screamed at this scene. So sad that Ray Stevenson won’t be carrying on this journey, and that he doesn’t get to see the love for his character
What a beautiful episode though pic.twitter.com/ZR569WumfK

Baylan standing on the edge of a Mortis God, transitioning to Shin gathering a battalion of soldiers for revenge was a perfect way to conclude these two villain’s arcs, while opening up new doors for adventure and future stories. Thank you Ray Stevenson. #Ahsoka pic.twitter.com/lmHrVmZgdp

On top of the badass lightsaber fights and Clone Wars lore, there was also lots of love for Christensen making a last-minute appearance as Anakin’s Force ghost proved he’s never stopped watching over his apprentice:

Speaking of master and apprentice, Star Wars: Rebels fans could barely contain their emotions after watching Ezra pay tribute to Kanan Jarrus by crafting a lightsaber just like his fallen master’s:
