The Star Wars franchise began in 1977 with a cult classic space opera that later gave way to numerous sequels, prequels, and spin-offs. Despite a few forgotten American cartoons in the 1980s, the franchise later spawned some iconic animated (and later live-action) series set in the same chronology as the movies.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (set in the same time period as Mandalorian and Ahsoka)
Star Wars anthology series (set across different timelines):
Out of all the Star Wars TV shows, a few titles can be skipped and still not affect the viewing order. For instance, even though Young Jedi Adventures is set two centuries before the Star Wars prequel movies, it’s a children’s animated series that doesn’t have any major consequences to the overall plot. However, the live-action series The Acolyte serves as a thrilling prelude, being set a century before the prequels and revolving around a massive conspiracy targeting the heroic Jedi warriors.
A Star Wars fan must also watch the 2D-animated Clone Wars and its more successful 3D follow-up The Clone Wars as it fills in the gap between the prequel and sequel movies. The Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his hot-headed apprentice Anakin Skywalker (who were earlier introduced in the movies) serve as the leads alongside new characters like the Jedi Ahsoka Tano. Star Wars: Rebels was a follow-up in the same animated chronology.
Sandwiched between The Clone Wars and Rebels is the animated adventure Bad Batch and the live-action series Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor. While Obi-Wan Kenobi continues the adventures of the titular Jedi from the animated series, Andor follows the adventures of the space outlaw from the spin-off movie Rogue One.
Rebels is then followed by more live-action series such as The Mandalorian, the space-Western centered upon the titular masked bounty-hunter. As the Mandalorian befriends and protects the Force-sensitive child Grogu from Imperial forces, he also crosses paths with iconic Star Wars characters like the mercenary Boba Fett and the aforementioned Ahsoka Tano. Both of these characters got their own live-actions series that cover their standalone adventures.
The upcoming 2024 live-action series The Skeleton Crew is set around the same time period as The Mandalorian’s later seasons and Ahsoka. Meanwhile, the animated series Star Wars: Resistance comes last as it’s set a few years before the new movie trilogy that started with The Force Awakens (2017).

The release order of the Star Wars TV shows can be divided into live-action and animated shows. The earliest ones were all animated like The Clone Wars and Rebels.
