Well they think that's what will guarantee success. The problem many thought with the prequels was that it felt very different from the original three star wars films. The Clone Wars were there to fill up the gaps George Lucas didn't have enough time to fill with the films. Rebels is a series that wants to gain success by using familiar archetypes, using character that will resemble characters of the original trilogy, because that will no doubt work on people's nostalgia who loved the Old Trilogy. So when they see characters like Zeb, they will immediately feel a familiarity to Chewie and since he's very loved, that will make people love Zeb as well... If they can't see through the disguise.
