Well, some people say the prequels are better than the sequels, so some Star Wars fans just have poor judgment

Look at it this way, you don't need Clone Wars or Rebels to like or apreciate Star Wars.
But you do need it to fill in some of the crap they are throwing your way here.
But, yeah mostly re-caps will do:
Ahsoka a pretty decent character created by Lucas and expanded on by Felloni, as once Anakin's apprentice, fated to die with the rest of the Jedi.
Feloni then ridiculously contrived her survival, by introducing some stupid time-portal, so now she can, going-forward, repurpose the legacy mentor role, once meant for Luke.
(who in the Disney-canon, is a complete coward and useless failure), so lucky we have her instead, to fulfill the role he failed at.
Ezmo, is some annoying apprentice Jedi who also shouldn't exist through the OT, so Feloni introduced yet another preposterous hyperspace/time/warping space-whales to temporarily "remove" Ezmo from OT continuity (and by extension Thrawn). And will now bring them back just as facile. Seems to be the plot Ahsoka hinges on.
The titular Rebels among others also included the usual clique of repurposed trope characters, including; Sabine, a Mandalorian & Jedi in training, so pretty much she's the best of everything.
And Hera, pilot of theFalcon Ghost and now Rebel leader.

Yeah, I tried to watch a recap of rebels and I did not like the animation style, so I’ll just skip all that animated crap and watch Ashoka by itself. Oh well.
Dude my son and I binged the entirety of TWC and Rebels a couple years ago and even I was a bit lost watching the first two episodes of Ahsoka, lol.So is watching clone wars and rebels necessary to watch this show? I really don’t want to watch anything else just to understand what’s going on in this one, kinda like killing myself by watching boba get to understand season 3 of Mando

I do tend to agree that the animation style isn't my favorite on Rebels and it did take me a bit to get into it. Once I was a few episodes in I really liked the characters and that got me past the animation...

Holy crap lol
Don't get me wrong I'll tune in each and every week for ass shots of Sabine on a speeder bike but I was all "wha...Thrawn is in exile? I thought he just flew off with some whales...wha? Sabine was Ahsoka's padawan and they had a falling out...?" Some of that stuff I don't remember even being hinted at in Rebels, lol.

I mean he trapped in another galaxy, technically Ezra sent him into exile.
The Sabine and Ahsoka stuff happened between Rebels and now. The characters do exist between movies/shows in-universe.
Never watched Rebels and glad I didn't after the first two episodes of Ahsoka. If live action Sabine and Hera are meant to be continuations of their animated counterparts, their characters aren't exactly electric.
I loved Clone Wars though so I get the gist with Ahsoka. Tone wise it's another shift after the masterful Andor. I know I'm banging on about it but it's epic on all levels and Ahsoka looks to be in the same dull plodding vein as Mando and Boba Fett. I mean the show looks like a fetch quest so far, very boring. When Filoni feels like the story is meandering, he throws another lightsaber fight in. There's no depth to his writing, just filler to kill time until the next wipe.

1. Have characters hunt for a map that leads to another character
2. ??????
3. Profits
It was a successful formula for TFA so I guess Filoni is now giving it a go, lol.

One of the reasons I love these boards is the different perspectives. I loved Sabine and Hera, both the characters and actresses portraying them. I watched Rebels and enjoyed it but definitely wouldn't consider myself an uber fan...as in I probably wouldn't buy all the characters in their animated versions... But I might consider them now based on how much I've enjoyed live action versions thus far. Ok, let me amend that, I would've bought Sabine because I buy everything Mandalorian...

It looks they are abandoning the World between Worlds concept and literally just saying it’s another galaxy???

I hope we never see the World Between Worlds again
It's another galaxy...that is an exact duplicate of the current one...set 30 years in the past.

The galaxy far, far, FAR away. *sigh*
As for the show so far, it's typical Filoni. Fans of his will be delighted, but those who don't care for his derivative storytelling will probably end up landing somewhere between "total cringe" and "it's decent."
He relies so much on cliches, tropes, and direct references that he has yet to demonstrate (IMO, anyway) any ability to tweak them into something that at least *seems* more original. Instead, it's just straight lifting. And he follows one straight-lifted cliche/trope with yet another one in an endless pattern.
And, no, that's not what Lucas did. Lucas was not only more subtle with his homages, but he had a genuinely creative mind that sought to build upon his inspiration and make it fresh for a new generation. When he borrowed from the "The Dam Busters," he used those sequences to make something far more dynamic, fantastical, and captivating. Filoni, on the other hand, watches "Top Gun" and decides that he wants his "maverick" thrill junkie to have pretty much the exact same ride down a strip (yet less captivating). He watches "Treasure Planet" and doesn't even bother trying to alter the spherical holographic map projector macguffin.
Anyone with a decent amount of media literacy will spend entire Filoni episodes going, "oh, that's exactly the same as from so-and-so movie," and "hey, that's on the nose from so-and-so show."

That sounds like an absolutely miserable way to consume media.

Only when it's so derivative that it can't be helped.
