=== Writing ===
The series begins after Ahsoka's appearances on ''The Mandalorian'' and ''The Book of Boba Fett'', during which she is shown to be searching for [[Grand Admiral Thrawn]], and Filoni said the series would tell a serialized story rather than having separate adventures in each episode.<ref name="VanityFairMay2022" /> Filoni and Favreau consulted with [[Thrawn trilogy|''Thrawn'' trilogy]] author [[Timothy Zahn]] regarding Thrawn's appearance in the series because the character is "his thing... [w]e want to make sure we get it right".<ref name="ZahnConsult" /> Star [[Rosario Dawson]] confirmed in April 2023 that ''Ahsoka'' would continue the story established in the animated series ''[[Star Wars Rebels]]''.<ref name="RebelsConnectionConfirmed" /> Regarding ''Ahsoka'' being a continuation of ''Rebels'' or referred to as a fifth season of that series, Filoni said that was "interesting" and "one way of looking at it" explaining, "For me, when I'm telling those stories, I don't limit things like, 'Oh, well, I did it an animation, so I would do it distinctly different in live action.' There's just the story that it is, and I was telling it in one medium."<ref name="FiloniAhsokaRebelsS5" /> Ahsoka's ambiguous ending in ''Rebels'' had been interpreted by Beck as being a "big open question" that provided many storytelling opportunities. Dawson had also been interested in the moment, saying that she had enjoyed the "idea that there was even another level to her". While discussion her transition, Dawson and Filoni had referenced Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White. [[Sabine Wren]] is also shown using Ezra Bridger's old green lightsaber.<ref name="Aug23EWCover" /> The series initially begins with Ahsoka as a "wanderer", with Filoni noting that she had abandoned her role as a Jedi and had been skeptical of organizations of power, while saying "she walks a path that basically died out a long time ago". Filoni recognized that some audiences were already familiar with Ahsoka, while others were not, feeling she was "an interesting bridge between what came before and what’s really possible".<ref name="FiloniEmpireJun2023" /> The series focuses on the themes of masters and apprentices, notably Sabine Wren dynamic with Ahsoka having been her apprentice.<ref name="ProductionBrief" />{{rp|2–3}} ''Ahsoka'' is concurrent to the events of the [[The Mandalorian (season 3)|third season]] of ''The Mandalorian''.<ref name="SeriesTimeline" />
