Just judging by the fandom, she is the most popular Star Wars character to be introduced since the original movie
Maybe so at one point, but her repeated insertion into more and more material, especially post OG films, is getting increasing pushback from fans who find her overused now.
Ashoka was always Dave Filoni's pet OC and while she was part of the Clone Wars stories that wasn't much of an issue. But her repeated survival through events such as Order 66, her duel with Vader in Rebels which fundamentally rewrote Star Wars lore by introducing time travel, the entire fucking original trilogy, and now showing up in multiple Disney productions such as The Mandalorian and The wet fart Book of Boba Fett means she's been in more shows and stories than anyone.
And on top of all that her upcoming solo show is a rip off of Timothy Zahn's 'Heir to the Empire' but with Ashoka has the lead instead of Luke, because first off Luke is dead due to the truly shit tier writing of the Disney Trilogy, but also because modern protags in Disney, and the wider entertainment medium, are all Girl-Boss types who get everything handed to them and never actually face real challenges.
Someone tried to convince me to watch it due to the Heir to the Empire influence. I said I want to see a faithful adaptation. Darth Angelus on YouTube is doing an adaptation and he is doing a good job considering his limitations
