Like Droids and Ewoks? My kids LOVE those old shows. Haha. More recently though, the Clone Wars series that used to air on Cartoon Network ended up being surprisingly enjoyable and it helped the "prequel" trilogy make SO much more sense.
When the prequels came out, I didn't like them all that much. Except Revenge of the Sith. That one was rad from the get go. THEN earlier this year, I revisited the series with my kids, watching them from Eps 4 to 5 to 6, then 1 and 2 to Clone Wars. Haven't done 3 yet as I want to wait until they're older for that one. Either way, I had a WAY better time with Episodes 1 and 2 this time around. It makes far more sense now that the SW franchise has fleshed out so much more of the story, and now I can appreciate more about it. Jar Jar Binks still sucks, and even my kids found him annoying, but I just give it a pass and ignore it, and focus on what's actually good about it. That said, of course the creature CG has aged REALLY poorly compared to the practical effects of the earlier ones. Real puppets FTW!!! You just can't beat that for longevity.

As said many times before, seasons 3.5-7 of the Clone Wars is peak Star Wars.

I haven't seen them yet, but looking forward to it. Still trying to finish up Andor. Just watched Ep 8. Been wild watching the creators flesh out the inner workings of the Empire. No wonder the rebels got so pissed. Those guys went next level with the whole Prison Industrial Complex idea.

Andor does a great job of filling out what I call the normal, everyday evil of the empire. Sure, they blew up Alderrann and glassed a portion of Scarriff, which makes for movie stuff, but every single day you were one parking ticket away from being shipped off to a forced labor camp for years. Nothing else in the normal SW canon really touches this and it's great.

Have seen all the live action stuff and I'm sorta kinda curious about the associated cartoon material some of ya'll hype up.
What's the advised/chronological order to watch things in if you're trying to follow the live action timeline?

We tried doing a generally chronological order with the kids, but I think ep 4, 5 and 6 should go first. It plays very well in this kind of order:
ep4, ep5, ep6, ep1, ep2, Clone Wars animated movie*, Clone Wars animated seasons 1-7, ep3 (holy crap ep3 hits so much harder right after clone wars season 7), Andor, Solo*, Rebels, Kenobi*, Rogue One
[timeline skip]
Mando season 1-2, Book of Boba Fett, Mando season 3, Ahsoka, 7*, 8*, 9*
*optional series/movieWait, how can we trust this guy^^^ He's clearly not DJSapp

EXACTLY! Well said. They even show the more bureaucratic side of their operations in that giant "office" facility that Syril Karn ended up having to work in.
Yeah, that was wild. That arbiter chick was like "This WAS a 6 month sentence. Now it's gonna be 6 years. NEXT!!!" And off Cassian went. Wonder how long his woman back at the pad was waiting for him to come back before wondering where he went. Poor guy. And then you learn that they're upping everybody's sentences for that whole Public Order Resentencing Directive (P.O.R.D.) thing. What a bunch of assholes, the Empire.
I mean, sure. We always knew they were dicks and all, but somehow this show gave the whole "teh Empire is ee-vil" idea a lot more dimension and gravitas.

I’m in total agreement with you guys. It’s striking how much more interesting thie Andor version of Star Wars is than the magic clone in the back bath robe of episode 9. A giant smothering bureaucracy full of mundane, indifferent bad guys is somehow more scary than finger lightning- maybe because it’s more realistic.

Andor’s absolute banger of a club track is a gift to all of us - Nicholas Britell, you magnificent bastard

Just finished episode 10 of Andor. Just wanted to say that after seeing him in this, but before, Dune as the Baron Harkonnen (pure perfection), and COUNTLESS other films, Stellan Skarsgård is quite the badass actor. Killer voice. He reminds me a bit of Marlon Brando in his delivery and I am loving it. What do you all think?

This guy nails much of what makes the show so darn good compared to the rest of the more recent Disney Star Wars universe.

Yup. SO good.
Haha. Indeed. Glad you liked it! I got a crack out of it. Nailed the 70s sci-fi vibe for sure. Which the SHOW actually did well too in a sense. They made it more in line with the one that started it all, A New Hope. From the prisoners outfits to the screens and tech, they just got so much right.

After the ending, I don't know how they don't do a season 2.

So, season 2 ended with Grogu going with Luke Skywalker. How is Grogu back with the Mandalorian at the start of season 3??
Also, did he lose the Dark Saber or something?? Season 2 also ended with that in his possession. I'm so confused
Interesting way to explain Gina Carano's character our of the show too. "She got recruited by the special forces" ummm OK
