I disagree with this but hey what do I know, I'm not an actor. With Dave Filoni and Deb Chow involved, I'm sure it'll be fine, but I feel it would be even better if all actors caught up on Rebels and the prequels.
Ewan and Hayden Christensen rewatched the prequels and the Clone Wars (Hayden) to prepare for the role they originally portrayed, so I don't think newcomers should take liberties like this...but hey...I'm sure it'll be fine, I'm just a nit picker.
