The recently-aired Star Wars series Ahsoka marked the live-action debut of the surviving Ghost Crew members from Rebels. Throughout the season's run, fans have expressed their enthusiasm over the actors' take on the fan-favorite characters in the animated series.
After all, aside from exploring Ahsoka Tano's journey in the MandoVerse timeline, it also serves as a continuation of Rebels since they also followed the characters' journey years after the animated series originally ended.
Whether fans love the recent series or not, a lot of them were delighted about the Ghost Crew's live-action appearances since it gave them a unique opportunity to experience the characters in a different way.
Fortunately, one of the people who was enthusiastic about the character's live-action debut in Ahsoka was someone who oversaw the creation of the animated series with Dave Filoni.
