You can...mostly watch season 1 of the mandalorian whenever, you very much need to wait till you've finished clone wars to watch season 2 and 3. the ahsoka show is heavily tied to rebels, so I'd strongly advise against watching ahsoka before finishing clone wars and rebels. (iirc you can watch andor whenever, you've already seen rogue one)
That said, even mando season 1 has a very big spoiler for clone wars and/or rebels in it's world building. It's something most hardcore fans would have already known about star wars lore, so it wasn't an issue for us. But for you guys being less familiar with franchise it might be a BIG spoiler, so it might be worth waiting.

Definitly recommend finishing clone wars and rebels first before mando, espically the later seasons as there are characters and story elements that are a continuation from them. you will probably get the best viewing experence waiting till after rebels. its the same with the Ahsoka Show, after rebels.

You can't watch mandolorian for a good while. You got the rest of the clone wars, the bad batch and rebels to go through which has multiple seasons as well before you are up to date to watch mandolorian and especially ahsoka which is basically a live action version of rebels.

Ahsoka is basically a sequel to Rebels, which is basically a sequel to this show. The Mandalorian CAN be watched whenever, but there will be tons of references that will lose their significance if you if you don't finish the two animated shows first.

The biggest reason to keep watching things chronologically is to not know who will survive what piece of content. The biggest benefit to watching in release order is that references can stack. If you don’t plan to watch all of Rebels and all the live action content I think it’s fair to skip around, but you definitely want to finish Clone Wars through season 6 before starting anything else.

Really, watch how you want but to avoid spoliers and keep the surprises each show offers secret you need to watch up to the Season 5 finale, then watch ALL of Rebels, then the final two seasons of Clone Wars and then Mandalorian S1and S2, then Book of Boba and then Mandalorian S3 and then Ahsoka Season 1. Obi-Wan and Andor Season 1 shoudl be once you watch the rest of the Clone Wars but could be watched at really any time.

I'd say the Rebels before Clone Wars final two seasons is most important becuase the final two of Clone Wars spoil Rebel surprises and there are surprises at the end of Clone Wars if you watch Rebels first. Also, forgot to mention first time. Don't watch Bad Batch until after you complete the entirety of Clone Wars.

You could say the same the other way that watching rebels spoils seasons 6 and 7 of clone wars. So if rebels and clone wars spoil each other it doesn't really matter the order in my opinion and is probably best just to finish clone wars. Not only is it the chronological order but it keeps things more simple.

By the way, for the future, would it be possible to watch one arc per week? Cause some arcs last 3-4 episodes, and I don’t know what kind of time you guys have normally to watch this show, but some arcs coming up in the fed few seasons are way too good to split into 2 videos per week. It’s ur decision, but please consider doing 1 arc per week

the only thing with bad batch (and rebels to a lesser extent) is clone wars essentially contains a bad batch pilot, so you still want to finish clone wars first or you straight up miss the first couple episodes of the bad batch.

Ideally you should watch the Mandalorian after you've watched Clone Wars, Bad Batch & Rebels. Also in between seasons 2 & 3 of Mandalorian you should watch the Book of Boba Fett, as it heavily ties into it.

Idk who's telling you to watch Manalorian now, but I cannot overstate how important it is to watch The Clone Wars and Rebels before any of the live action shows (except for Andor, The Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew, you can watch those whenever you want tbh). Those to animated shows are basically the backbone of the entire TV show side of Star Wars, and a lot of call backs and references are made to them, as well as full on plot threads from both shows are continued in them. Rebels especially is practically a prequel to the Mandalorian in a lot of aspects, and Ahsoka is straight up a sequel to the show. It's not impossible to watch the Mandalorian and even enjoy it by itself (not Ahsoka tho, that's basically Season 5 of Rebels in all but name), but alot is lost without context.
Again tho, if you're itching for some live action Star Wars, highly recommend Andor and Skeleton Crew. They're great standalones so you don't need to watch anything else.

So the guy who made Mando basically made this and rebels continues the story. If you go in order everything makes sense and no spoilers clone wars > rebels > Mando after Mando you should probably go back and watch Bad Batch before Ashoka for the same reasons as both of those occur somewhere around the times between clone wars/Mando
