And she becomes Caroline Blakiston for a few moments.

Turns out abandoned Massassi temples were surprisingly lacking in hair stylists. That or it was a conscious choice on her part to appear more humble for the troops. It would be a bit much to be swanning around in full Senatorial regalia in front of a bunch of a bunch of pilots, commandos, and partisan fighters. Possibly both.
Side note: An easy detail to miss (mostly because you only glimpse them amidst the extras in the briefing room) but she did appear to have an entourage of aids wearing similar garb and hair stylings in RotJ. I guess that can be retroactively interpreted as meaning they were also Chandrilan.

Wow, that character just doesn’t age, does she? How many years between ROTS and Ahsoka? 28?All of Genevieve O'Reilly's appearances as Mon Mothma.
30, actually.
The Rogue One Ren Fair look?
IIRC, the hairpiece she's wearing in RO is supposedly a leftover Weasley wig from one of the Harry Potter productions. I'm guessing a Goblet of Fire Fred/George piece that was trimmed down. Would be weirdly ironic if it was a Bill wig though. Then we'd get to have fun theories about the Hux's being an exiled bastard branch of the Mothma family tree or some such.

If you replace them in the story with Qui-gon merely sensing the magnitude of Anikins "Force Aura" nothing in the story changes. "His Aura is larger than Master Yoda's".
The story can be the same, just have Anikin be 15 and played by 18 year old Hayden Christensen.
Having Bacta facials between Rogue 1 and ROTJ, would have been a waste of resources, and she was under a lot of stress at the time. She's back on her skincare regimen post Jakku.
Indeed, lasting through to ROTJ. I guess what I'll now consider Rebellion-vogue.
According to Wookieepedia, ROTS is 19 BBY and Ashoka is 9 ABY, so 28 if my math is right.
The first episode states in dialogue that the Lothal speech ceremony which Sabine takes great pains to avoid happens on the 7th Anniversary of the fall of the Empire. That would make it 30 years.
According to the subtitles, Azadi actually said several years ago, not seven. Sounds like they're trying not to be too specific with the timeline.
30 works for me seeing as the first season of The Mandalorian happens five years after ROTJ and that's more or less firm canon from Lucasfilm. Two years later seems and feels right given how much Disney+ live action streaming content we've gotten in this timeframe.
ETA: Speaking of the timeline, it's been bugging me for a while and I knew I'd heard Filloni talk about the timing of the Rebels finale before, and I just found it again here in the finale screening Q&A back in '18. I mean he doesn't explicitly say how long it was between the battles of Lothal and Scarif, but the intent is about as clear as you can get. The latter happened very soon after the former; soon enough that it directly averted the Imperial reprisal since Palpatine was so rattled by the whole thing he had to actively refocus his attention on Luke.
Side note: go to this bit for the fun bit of potential foreshadowing that's been half a decade in the making! I mean seriously; if they don't give Faison at least a cameo in the show, it'll be an enormous shame!
In this case, I think the official word from the recent 'Timelines' book is that all of Mando 1&2 + BoBF take place within a year at most, which is honestly a little hard to credit given how much Nevarro alone changes over the first two seasons alone. Regardless, it's all supposed to be happening around 9 ABY, or thereabouts.
That said, as I mentioned a while back I'm still of the opinion that this show probably isn't taking place that long after the events on Corvus. I just can't see Ahsoka sitting on so vital a lead as that Nightsister temple a moment longer than necessary. Indeed the fact that there were HK droids hot on Ahsoka's heels says to me she probably went right there from Corvus, as soon as the NR ship picked up Morgan. Speaking of; Elsbeth would not be sat in a jail cell any longer than necessary, and no New Republic prison would have slowed Baylan down much. So in either case it's probably still 9 ABY (or 7986 CRC, if you prefer.)

I don't necessarily disagree, but that's never been much of an indicator in the past. After all we got 7 season (and more planned) of Clone Wars, and that covers a period of rather less than 3 years, supposedly. I'd have preferred if they'd upped it to 4 or 5 to give Ahsoka a good year away from the Order, and make her age closer to 18 by the finale. Plus all the Ventress/Dark Disciple stuff. Oh well.

Actually, that was the phrasing. It's a cheap way to generate content to serve ads against but, still, God bless those websites that post closed-captioning text files as “episode transcripts.”
“On this day several years ago, the Empire was defeated thanks to the heroic efforts of Commander Ezra Bridger, who sacrificed himself to liberate our world. This monument we dedicate here today stands in recognition of Commander Bridger and the rebel leaders who fought so valiantly on our behalf. May their courage and commitment never be forgotten.”
Though now I have a hunch I need to check against the actual video, so it didn't actually save me any time at all... okay, my guess was that it had been "seven," but was looped in post to loosen up the timeline, hence the awkward phrasing, but it was a distant shot of Azadi from the crowd. You could still make out the mouth-movements, but not very clearly, so I'd put it at 60/40 against that that's what happened, since if they wanted to change it, they could've rewritten the line entirely rather than awkwardly substituting one word.
Ah, yes. Just like the famous Gettysburg Address. "A few score and several more years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation..."
God, that was such awful writing.
On an anniversary of an important event, no one would ever say "several years ago this very day!"
Utterly stupid and insane writing. Filoni gets worse with each passing day.
Whoah, deja vu.
Carson Teva is rapidly becoming one of my favorite characters in the canon. But, no Zeb? In this situation? That does not ring true.
