It occurred to me this morning as I read through the spoiler tagged comments that:

Spoiler!

Having Ahsoka carve up and dismember droids (dark troopers) on the screen lets Disney keep this a more family-friendly show. Some of that violence has been implied off-screen, like the aperture door in the first episode, but NOBODY wants to see Ahsoka go full badass without seeing the awesome carnage she can wreak. At this point in the universe, I would have to say that it is likely her lightsaber skills are matched by no living entity.

Agreeing with somebody above, I think these dark troopers are going to knock Mando down a peg or two, which would be nice to see for an arc this season, and Ahsoka is going to come in a change his entire worldview on what is possible.
