    I think you kind of answered your own question there, so to speak.
    Rebels was indeed about the build-up to the Rebellion we see in the OT, so the finale taking place a few months prior to the Battle of Yavin made sense, and it was a natural end point for the series.

    With the epilogue they set up what would be next for the Rebels crew (or at least Sabine and Ahsoka), but with that taking place after the rebellion has ended, it wouldn't make sense to just have it be Rebels season 5. Instead that epilogue acted as a very clear sequel tease, and now we're getting that sequel. And as with most good sequels, it's similar to the original, but goes in its own direction.

    Than the live action show Filoni did should have just been called Rebels (or a title that strongly alluded to the continuation of the Rebels animated series).. Criticism that they took the Ahsoka name (a character that was far more popular than any of the characters from Rebels) as a vehicle to further tell the story of these characters from Rebels is warranted.

    But they're not rebels anymore, so why should it be called Rebels? Again, that story was finished.

    And Ahsoka 1) is in that final sequel hook scene in the epilogue, so her inclusion in that story (which was also foreshadowed in Ezra's and Ahsoka's last meeting in World Between Worlds: "when you get back, come find me") is perfectly logical, and 2) is still the main character of the show Ahsoka.

    Right. Ahsoka was still the central character of the show, as was Andor in Andor. Despite featuring multiple characters, and multiple perspectives, the stories of each show revolve around these characters. So the titles of the shows are perfectly appropriate.

    This is an incredibly weak critique.

    I agree, though I will admit that I think they're boring titles. Same for Obi-Wan Kenobi.
    I prefer my Star Wars with a bit more imagination to the titles, and I feel that the Character Name titles are a bit... Marvel-y, I guess? They say nothing about the shows, except who's the main character.

    But honestly, I don't care enough about it to actually complain. Except maybe for the fact that it makes it every so slightly more difficult to talk about the shows, as you need to specify if you're talking about the character or the show, but that's more of a Terminal JCF User problem than any sort of actual issue with the shows. :p

    You'll love the upcoming series on Disney+, titled "The conductor droid that jumped out of the train and ran off into the desert: A Star Wars Story".

    My guess would be that "marketing people" somewhere a long the line have pushed the idea that net series need a very descriptive title in order to get a wide appeal, perhaps because audiences tend to get exposed to trailers to them a bit less than they do for films?

    I do think Andor could really be a blueprint for a lot of content from the "imperial" era, personally I think SW should probably be divided between post OT content of a more Mando/Ahsoka tone(a bit more larger than life) and OT or post PT pre OT content which is more like Andor in tone.
