The first in my watch order for Star Wars. This may seem like a weird place to start for Star Wars fans but I think watching the original trilogy first is the best way to go and Andor and Rouge One lead in very nicely to A New Hope.

Andor is a great Star Wars series that ties into Rouge One incredibly well. Throughout Andor you get a slow build up in tension until it feels like it is about to burst and then in Rouge One it does. This feeling that flows through these pieces of media is expertly crafted and create a great prequel to A New Hope. The series makes minor details from Rouge One and the original Star Wars trilogy feel far more significant and does politics very well. I had a few issues with things not tying up perfectly if you focus too much on the details and some of the tech feeling a little less 'Star Wars' than I would like but this is still absolutely worth a watch.
