To wait until the release of season 3 of The Mandalorianrather than revisiting the first ones, why not give the other series in the Star Wars universe a chance?
Because there is plenty to take care of and enjoy quality shows which concretely enrich this universe which still has a lot to show!

It was highly anticipated and did not disappoint. Disney+ is not a Netflix rival, but a complementary offer, geared particularly towards children and more broadly towards the family. The Star universe, meanwhile, remains the poor relation of the platform and will require several years of work to catch up with its competitors.

A very distant and very rich galaxy
On March 1, Disney+ will launch the third season of the popular series The Mandalorian. So you still have a little time to (re) see the premieres, as well as the spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett (we talk more about it below) if you want to be perfectly up to date. However, another solution to occupy your free time until then (or after) is to watch the other Star Wars series offered by the SVoD service. Because if some are relatively mediocre, let’s be honest, others are really worth a look and your curiosity.
Andor (one season, season 2 confirmed)
Qualified (rightly) by many “best Star Wars series”, Andor is indeed the worthy prequel to the excellent film RogueOne. Dark, human and rich in information on little-shown parts of the Star Wars universe (the birth of the Rebel Alliance, the beginnings of the Galactic Empire, etc.), the show is not to be outdone in terms of emotions and outstanding characters. . The great moments for the eyes and the ears are also legion thanks to a solid realization and the soundtrack by Nicholas Britell. A must stop for fans, quite simply.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (7 seasons)
Don’t stop at the slightly dated visual above. Not only the last seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars flatter the retina, but above all the essential is elsewhere. As detailed in our review, this animated show located between Episodes II and III comes to dig in an often captivating way a very interesting period in the history of the license. It’s also the one that introduces the formidable character of Ahsoka Tano, who will soon have her own live-action series. Certainly long, the series can possibly be savored more effectively by following a guide to skip the episodes that are not necessarily essential.

The Bad Batch (2 seasons)
Series derived from Star Wars The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch comes to take up the main strengths of the parent series, and often sublimate them. Visually stunning and driven by a cast of memorable “flawed” characters, the series further enriches the period when the Empire took over the galaxy (just like Andor). Once again, many more arguments to indulge you can be found in our full review. But we think you won’t regret your time with Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Echo, and Crosshair.
Star Wars: Rebels (4 seasons)
Let’s stay in the animation with Star Wars: Rebels. Located between Episodes III and IV, the show is perhaps a little less successful than the previous ones mentioned. However, it is still not stingy with great moments and outstanding characters already seen or that we should soon see again in live action.
Let’s quote in passing Star Wars: Resistancestill a little below in terms of interest and quality, and which we will therefore only recommend to those who really want to watch everything.
Star Wars: Visions (2 seasons)
Original but uneven, Star Wars: Visions is an anime anthology series conducted by several Japanese studios. Some episodes stick a real slap, while others are simply passable. However, all of them allow you to see this universe truly differently, and the experience is worth it if you are curious and open. The show also returns on May 4 (obviously) for a season 2.
Identical observation passing for Tales of the Jedi, a short anthology animated series that quickly dives into three famous Jedis. Not essential, but nice for fans who want to devour the slightest crumb of content. The episodes on Count Dooku are however interesting enough to understand the motivations of the character.
The Book of Boba Fett (one season)
Good. Let’s be completely honest: The Book of Boba Fett is a bad series. Certainly the worst of this selection and of Disney+. Unfortunately, in the middle of the not very captivating and poorly realized adventures of the hero played by Temuera Morrison, two excellent episodes are very important to fully understand where season 3 of The Mandalorian started.
If you don’t have the faith to watch it all (no one will judge you), then you might want to fire up episodes 5 and 6. You might not catch everything there, but they’re a must for fans of The Mandalorian and Star Wars in general as there are many characters and references to other works in the saga.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (one season)
Let’s end with a series that will certainly have blown hot and cold. Expected for years, the series Obi-Wan Kenobi is unfortunately, in our humble opinion, very disappointing. Poorly produced, badly paced, stingy with truly interesting issues despite its characters central to the universe, the series really serves as a wet firecracker. Still, undemanding fans may still appreciate seeing Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in their iconic roles.
