So having moaned about Disney+ the other day, I've now got 3 months free. I
f I want to watch the Star Wars stuff that's not the mainstream movies, is there a particular order I should watch in?
Late to the party, but fwiw.
Watch the prequels, the originals, Rogue 1 Mandalorian S1 and 2 and then desperately pretend the final 3 films and Solo never existed because they are absolute shit.
I've heard Andor is good.

TLJ is the worst of them all for me as a complete movie, sure some cool shots/scenes but the whole locksmith side quest...that was unnecessary...bombers in space....fuel running low?....the idea of sneaking a fleet of small ships off....in clear site of the bad guys...what they did to carrie fisher....she had died...give her a heros send off and make her force push all the other people that had been sucked off into space to safety rather than flying herself...what they did to lukes character...and just the idea of they went from the "new republic" to 6 ships and half a dozen leaders....yeah they destroyed half a dozen planets in the force awakens.....but the new republic cant have all been on those planets....no star destroyer type ships had been made in the 30 years since TrotJ?
I think the one thing they really stuffed up in TFA was rey immediately finding luke...the second movie should have been a treasure hunt across the galaxy to find him...and bring him back in the last one to face off with Ben and Snoke
This is why I don't understand how anyone can say the TLJ was good. I'm a poor source perhaps because I hate it with a pathological passion, but break it down as you did and it's just a really piss poor movie. Terrible plot, terrible characters, horrific plot holes and continuity and terrible pacing. And that's even before you get into how they shat on the character of Luke and Leia doing a Mary Poppins. How anyone can claim the prequels are irredeemably shit but TLJ is good is beyond me.

Andor was very good. SW for grown ups

Andor is the best SW content ever made by absolute miles
I’m not sure about that. If anything it was a bit slow at times.
Mando, Rogue One and the Prequels for me.

Fair enough, I don't like Mando but R1 is great. But I love the depth and seriousness of Andor, and the actors are the fucken best

I certainly enjoyed characters that weren’t ridiculously overpowered, that was a nice change……but if anything it was perhaps slightly too much down the serious route ?
I must watch it again actually……the end scene where everything came together was awesome.

Yep, just typical of the shithouse writing involved during the sequels.
-
@MN5 they tried to make it something mystical, like the one ring or somethign...it wanted to be found again (the rest of canon tends to treat them as tools, important and powerful tools)...and then at the end of the same movie luke throws it away.......
hell, i could have been convince if they had committed, like the old japanese legend that a sword gains a soul of its own after 100 years, thats why family swords are so revered...make it something...but they didn't

Yeah instead some stupid Alien with bumholes for eyes finds it and gives a vague response that is never cleared up.
We also never found out what exactly Finn wanted to say to Rey either although it was a welome change from him screaming her name every five seconds.
-
@MN5 it should have been an unidentified lightsaber that "called to her"...later reviled as Palpatine's (i think only real super nerds would be able to identify it out of context)...but that would suggest that was the plan all along...which i doubt

Clearly time in the desert had fried Obi Wans brain.
Well, that and shitty continuity between the OT and the prequels ( but nothing compared to the terrible writing in the sequels )
Even as a kid I found it damn silly 3PO and R2 strolled through the firing line without a single hit.
That was supposedly Vaders 501st legion too !
My next nerdy idea for a SW movie/show would be the Imperials taking over Tattooine and Stormtroopers running into difficulties trying to cull the herds of Sandpeople.
Disney being Disney of course they'd have to shoehorn a transgender Stormtrooper and some asexual aliens just to keep the new "fans" happy.
