Actually while I don't think we need an Ahsoka show, as this time period in the franchise has a lot of media already and quite frankly, the direction they chose with her character is boring and irritating, I think the character we get in the show better fits a younger, fresher Ahsoka. Someone still building the Fulcrum network and having to come to terms with the fact that everyone she knew and cared about is gone besides Rex.

We could see her struggle with grief and missing Anakin, and during that reflection realize that some of the lessons he imparted on her were bad. I think a show could do a lot with her having to struggle in this new world, one where she can't be Anakin's mini me. She may be no Jedi like she wants to claim, but perhaps exploring her returning to her roots to find peace.

It would give us more context how Clone Wars Ahsoka, a hot head with a reckless streak and a strong sense of right and wrong that she'd pursue to the ends of the galaxy has mellowed out, be one more peaceful, and is now having to occasionally operate in gray areas to survive and build the rebellion. Because the Ahsoka we see in her show is more inline with her Clone Wars personality and ignoring everything that's happened to the Jedi, Anakin, and everyone she knew. You can't not learn that someone you knew destroyed your people, and then proceeded to be one of the most evil forces in the galaxy, and not have some things come into retrospect. We never actually see her come to terms with Anakin being Darth Vader besides a brief conversation in the World Between Worlds and while a prequel Rebels show wouldn't address that, it could address her character maturing. Because as of now, her character only serves to exist in a story where she's always right, and thus bends her character to the writers' whim.

You know ever since I started rewatching ATLA I've been wondering if the Star Wars fans who consistently complained about "filler" episodes in The Bad Batch ever actually watched that show. A HUGE chunk of the character development in ATLA occurred during the less plot-centric episodes, to the point where most of the "filler" eps were necessary to the overall story. Without them the characters wouldn't have felt as fleshed out. ATLA had a massive influence on a lot of animated shows that came after it (Tangled: The Series is one that comes to mind) in terms of how it handled its storytelling. The Star Wars animated shows, TBB included, were no exception. TBB followed a similar formula of alternating between plot-heavy episodes and character development episodes, so as an already-established ATLA fan by the time the show premiered, I took no issue with the "detour" eps that just explored the characters and their relationships. Or just let them vibe in their environment before jumping back into the heavier material. These "fans" strike me as people who would've whined about the "Tales from Ba Sing Se" episode being "pointless" or complained about the "everybody (except Toph) gets a life-changing sidequest with Zuko" storyline or, the ultimate crime, raged over Appa having his own episode about getting separated from the Gaang. All of these episodes were important to developing the characters and expanding on their relationships in a way that made the show feel more complete, so imo none of them were extraneous. A lot of the "filler" eps in TBB were the same way - I don't think I'd have cared as much about the characters OR the plot if it hadn't taken its time to sit with said characters and encourage the audience to care. The thing that ATLA is often praised for is the same thing that TBB was/is demonized for by certain pockets of the fandom, and idk it just really annoys me
