Worth it to dive into clone wars (movie, series and game) for lore? (sh.itjust.works)

My star wars interest has awakened again with andor, and ive so far tortured myself through jar jar binks in episodes 1 and 2 to refresh the lore on palpatines rise to power and transformation from the republic to the empire.

I am considering jumping into the clone wars before moving into episode 3. Both movie, series and the ps2-era game.

Are they worth it from a lore perspective?

There are like 3 to 5 multi-episode arcs that aren’t really necessary, but having watched almost all of clone wars, it’s very good - especially at the end - and recontextualizes or adds context to a lot of the stuff in episode 3 that seems odd or is unexplained. Anakin is a better character for it. The same goes for Rebels once you get past the first 1-2 seasons. In general, it’s worth your time. Go find an essential watch list online.

Rebels hasnt really been on my radar, but its been mentioned several times here so i guess i need to check out that as well! Seems to be parallel to andor so i guess a good time to watch it is after episode 3?

Rebels is more or less a sequel to Clone Wars with a lot of characters reappearing and continuing there story.
