OK, I've finally seen both episodes and... I loved it! Yes, it's blatantly 'Rebels' season 5 as feared, rather than a straight-up Ahsoka show, but the worlds and characters have been brought to life extremely well. I thought Lothal in particular was perfectly realised. So yes, I loved it for what it is, but I do wonder how much viewers not completely familiar with the 'Rebels' storyline and characters will miss out on. Hopefully there's still plenty there for them to enjoy, but inevitably some things may be confusing, at least to start with.
All of that said, and without wishing to sound overly critical or ungrateful (God knows it's a relief to have a good Star Wars show!) I was actually hoping for a bona fide Ahsoka show, where she is unambiguously the lead character going out on adventures of her own and without sharing the limelight with the cast from a previous show. It looks like I'll still really enjoy what they're giving us (unless the show takes a sudden and horrible downturn... although I'm not aware of Rian Johnson having any involvement in it), but even so, great though it's been so far, the show's title IS misleading and hence it isn't really what I was hoping for. Perhaps if there's a second season that might change? I hope so.
Regarding its overtly female focus / bias, you can certainly see why that talentless woke witch Kathleen 'The Force is Female' Kennedy would have fallen over herself to eagerly greenlight the show, given that the only male characters of significance are Baylan Skoll (white human male - villain.... of course), the as-yet unseen Thrawn (blue Chiss male - villain.... of course), and Ezra Bridger (Latin human male - hero and lead character of the 'Rebels' series, here so far relegated to a cameo, but hopefully with a larger role to come). However, regardless of the show almost certainly being given the go-ahead by KK for misandrist reasons, the fact remains that this one may have slipped under her radar a bit, because unlike Rey for example, Ahsoka, Hera and Sabine are already firmly established in 'The Clone Wars' and 'Rebels' shows as being fully fleshed out characters with backstories, rather than blatant Mary Sues, and perhaps more importantly, are also well liked by fans. Sadly Kanan Jarrus is dead and hence is unlikely to appear in 'Ahsoka', unless as a Force ghost or as a flashback (one less male hero... another big tick for KK), and so far they haven't included Zeb either (although given his cameo at the end of the 3rd season of 'The Mandalorian', I'm certainly hoping he will appear), so I can certainly sympathise with those that feel there seems to be too large a female bias when it comes to hero characters in the show. I would agree with them completely if this was a ground-up newly created show, since we all know KK's hatred of men by now, but in this case I do think the show should be given a pass. Hera, Sabine and Ahsoka ARE established, good, canonical characters in their own right, and have also (at least in Hera and Sabine's case) spent 4 seasons of 'Rebels' together as crew members of The Ghost, so in this instance, I don't see this show as deliberately woke in its casting, but rather as a continuation of the established 'Rebels' series, picking up the story from the point at which it left off. And if that just happens to coincidentally satisfy KK's agenda, then that's all it is in this case; coincidence.
Anyway, I'm now really looking forward to seeing the rest of the series, and sincerely hope it can maintain the same high standard set in the first 2 episodes, and doesn't try to 'subvert our expectations'...
I also think it was strange that we did not see Sabine in a bacta tank and even more strange that the sith did not split her in 2 parts
