After The Skywalker Saga ended in 2019 with “The Rise of Skywalker,” Lucasfilm shifted its attention to the small screen and the Disney+ streaming service.
There had already been two successful animated series: “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels.” 2019 marked the debut of the first live-action “Star Wars” series, “The Mandalorian.”
It followed the adventures of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), a Mandalorian bounty hunter tasked with protecting a very precious piece of cargo — a Force-wielding foundling named Grogu (affectionately called Baby Yoda).
A slew of live-action shows followed, and their entries in the Star Wars Universe and timeline may be confusing. But fear not. TheWrap will guide you through them better than a Sith wayfinder.
With “Ahsoka” arriving on Disney+, here’s how to watch the Star Wars shows in order. And for hardcore fans, we show how to watch the shows and feature films in order.
Star Wars Shows in Chronological Order
Of the Star Wars shows, “The Clone Wars” is chronologically the earliest, taking place between “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” (Episode II) and “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” (Episode III). “Obi-Wan Kenobi” is set 10 years after the events of “Revenge of the Sith.” “Andor” and “Star Wars Rebels” take place during the lead-up to “A New Hope,” while “The Mandalorian” picks up five years after “Return of the Jedi.”
