The Mandalorian discussion thread

On a different subject, I've been meaning to ask, I haven't watched any of the animated stuff, and I'm gathering I'm missing a fair bit of back story and references to it in this and the other live action shows. Not sure where to start with it though. I had a quick google and there seem to be a bunch of different answers. Any recommendations?

When you watch Clone Wars, be sure to watch it in the "official" order: https://www.starwars.com/news/were-rewatching-star-wars-the-clone-wars. Otherwise, you'll get lost... they aired the episodes in a non-chronological way for some reason, so watching them in order of air date would be less than ideal.

With Rebels, I think you are safe to watch it all the way through in order, after Clone Wars.

And when you are finished with all of those, you should watch the Bad Batch.

If all those seasons of Clone Wars are too much content, there are 9 fan edit "movies" made from Clone Wars episodes floating around the internet. Not sure if the links are still live, but you could start your hunt here:
