Star Wars: Rebels is good, but I'm not sure how watchable the later seasons are without the context of Clone Wars.

I don't strongly remember it being required vs a bonus, but for example twin suns is just a stand out episode, even without the additional backstory from CW. Granted i had already seen CW and it's been ages since i rewatched rebels.

I mean Ahsoka and Maul's stories continue in Rebels as a follow up from Clone Wars. I'm sure you could watch Rebels without having seen Clone Wars, but if you're going to watch Rebels I would highly recommend Clone Wars first.

Clone Wars & Rebels spoilers

Maul being alive. Him just showing up in Rebels if you last saw him die in Phantom Menace leaves you with a lot of questions.
Ahsoka battling Vader. It helps to know who Ahsoka is. Vader with a broken helmet saying her name is heartbreaking.
Obi Wan and Satine. Maul and Satine. While Rebels doesn't mention her the relationship they had is important backstory. the Twin Suns episode is the conclusion to when Obi Wan and Maul first met, the finale. You can skip the middle, but it adds a lot.

My dad went in blind when it was on, and got most of the gist of the episodes where it might be nice to have context, like Twin Suns or the episode with the Nightsisters. I'd argue it's not NECESSARY, but context helps flesh the episode better. Same goes for stuff like the Darksaber.
