While I have obviously watched all of those shows, this show will completely sink if it actually requires all of that. The vast majority of the general audience of this show will be going in knowing (in general) the movies, probably The Mandalorian and maybe BoBF (even if they've seen Obi-Wan/Andor, those shows don't seem very connected to this one).
Most people that watch this kind of thing, aka the people that make up most of the audience, are casual SW fans and don't watch the cartoons, especially adults. Now I love a lot of in depth continuity, but requiring TCW/Rebels for a (presumably) expensive, mainstream live action Star Wars project is just a terrible idea, they need to have found a way to give people backstory and possibly make them care about characters from TCW/Rebels without requiring people to go watch literally hundreds of episodes of TV.
Its what I've been worried about since the beginning. To use a personal anecdote, my Dad and younger brother like Star Wars, and really like The Mandalorian, but wouldn't watch a second of any of the animated shows if you paid them. They're both interested in Ahsoka because of the character's Mandalorian and BoBF appearances, and just liking what seems to be some good Force user action. If the show tries to just shove the Rebels characters at them they're probably just going to not care, and possibly be annoyed unless the characters are written in a way that makes them understandable, and hopefully appealing, to people that never saw them in the cartoons.
Of course this is article is just someone promoting the SW shows in general, hopefully the writers of Ahsoka took into account the average viewer of a live action SW show not watching TCW/Rebels.
