I find it hard to talk about this show without also comparing it to The Clone Wars. Overall, I found Rebels to be way more consistent in quality, as my biggest gripe with TCW was the inconsistency between episodes - some were amazing, others were down right terrible. But with Rebels, although it never quite reaches the same highs as The Clone Wars (aside from perhaps the season 2 finale) it was definitely more consistent. There were way less terrible episodes. In fact, the worst thing I could say about the show is probably that many of the episodes are just alright. Comparing this to TCW, I think that's maybe a good thing, as it made Rebels so much easier to binge and enjoy long term. With TCW, many episodes and arcs were so terrible or boring that it was a slog to get through them. I never really found myself feeling the same way at any point during Rebels. As I said, it never really hits the same high points as TCW, but it also never hits the same lows either, making for a much more balanced show.
Regardless, if you're a Star Wars fan, it is worth watching Rebels, especially if you want to know what happens with Ahsoka after The Clone Wars. Season 2 in particular is a great season of television.
