Both are great, I'd say Clone Wars first.
Then at the very least you'd be ready for Season 7 in February faster which is Mandalore heavy

I was just thinking about how pissed off and sad I'm going to be when the inevitable day comes and they kill Carl Weathers.
"They're setting up an E-Web. We're totally fucked oh shit oh shit oh shit"
*moments later*
*the E-Web is literally the same as the gun Cara already had*
*also explodes to a single shot of its battery*

Was that sword at the end a fancy sword or one of the mystic black light sabers? If I remember correctly a Mando had one? Not sure if that was legends tho
Yup, the child is riding shot gun for a few years, I'm guessing the end of the series will be he reuniting with his kind, or deciding he has a new 'family'
Not "one of", THE black lightsaber.
Taiki did say 11's arc would be very Terminatoresque but I didn't know he meant it so literally. I had posted this joke weeks ago after reading that interview:
Nooooooooooo
E-web is much more powerful than the hand held blasters, it can take out vehicles too. Dune's just got a regular repeating blaster.
The show makes a point to show the Child looking at all the violence and soaking it in. That plus the totally casual force choke, I wonder if the Child's arc is about raising children with exposure to this stuff? Like, actual Yoda on the Jedi Council would never have approved of this lol.
Want to know more about the Darksaber? Watch this summary of the weapon's history from Rebels!
He didn't know that the Stormtroopers had The Child. Those two Stormtroopers were apart of the force that was under the previous Imp's command. They went after The Child on an impulse based on what they heard over the comm channel. That's why when they got back to town they kept trying to report in that they have The Child but their contact on the other end kept saying it was a bad idea to interrupt him.
What a great fucking season. Moff looks really badass, and the saber was great.
I cared more about IG-11 than anyone from the ST, damn nice scene.

This has always bugged me, because back in Legends wasn't it 'canon' that he reformed and turned to the light? Why was he going to be a Sith ghost here? It makes more sense in TROS' guide, since the Sith probably don't want to admit they lost him the way they did if Legends' version is still canon.
Depends on what you want to do. If you want to catch up on the Darksaber specifically, or the Mandolorians specifically, you could just go in order with the Mando episodes (I think io9 and a few other sites have lists). If you're going to watch the whole thing, do TCW first, in chronological order. It's better than Rebels and gets good faster (I'd argue Rebels doesn't actually get good until Thrawn shows up or when they start doing Rogue One crossovers which takes awhile).
Doesn't that picture have Mortis as an honorable mention or something?
People need to watch Mortis.
i feel like the majority of honorable mentions became required watching as time went on.
Hey WadiumArcadium do you think we can get one of the mods to threadmark one of the posts with the dark saber video, so people can point to it when others ask about it?
Great finale! Sets up some awesome stuff for the future while it wraps up the season's storyline as well, including Mando's name and origin. Moff Gideon will be a great big bad, especially since the darksaber points to him killing the Mandalorians and stealing it (I haven't seen Rebels so I don't know where it's been since TCW).
I enjoyed the series before but I really love it know since it points to it's potential. It may take a bit to get there, but the format allows for great build up and pay off, even if we may not get the character development and worldbuilding some may want much more of.

I feel like their 'priorities' on the chart were whatever they thought the main arc of the series was. It also seemed to be based on the early season or two not being all amazing, and didn't adjust to the last few seasons where pretty much every episode was worth watching. There were a couple more glaring exceptions on the list, but I can't think of them now.
I didn't need the scene of IG-11 on the speeder blowing shit up through the town but lord I loved it.
It's a huge deal for the Mandalorian culture.
Essentially he stole Excalibur from them.
The conversation with the 2 scout troopers in the beginning of the episode seems like a jarring tonal shift compared to the other episodes, but then I remembered Taika directed this episode.
It's featured in the Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated series. Makes sense since Dave Filoni was involved in them and the Mandalorian.

The show started off decent enough, it fell off a massive cliff for me in episodes 4-6 and then the last two brought it back to being decent again.
A pretty sloppy season overall but it ended strong and I'm going to continue watching into season 2 hoping there is a stronger narrative going forward.

Baby Yoda laughing with glee as people are murdered in the streets. 😂
Looking at the credits, a lot of people who worked on Marvel movies worked on this Episode. Habits die hard, though I didn't mind the opening. Kinda neat to see Stromtrooper just... talking.
I wish Taika would direct a live action feature.
The complaints about the "humor" in SW would be off the charts.

The beginning with the storm troopers just talking and later having terrible aim was so great.
Taika really left his mark on this one. Great episode.

Were those trade federation droids that killed Mando's parents? Was that supposed to be the Clone Wars?
Yes, it was supposed to be the clone wars. The show takes place 5 years after RoJ, so that'd be about 25 years after the clone wars.
The Siege of Mandalore which took place around the end of the Clone Wars yes
I guess, just seems like it would be more dramatic if it had been imperials who killed them rather than some random droids, as far as this series is concerned.
People just shooting the shit is "marvel quippiness" now?
"I don't like Pulp Fiction, too much Marvel quippiness"
It's not a matter of opinion what ethnicity Pedro Pascal is. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Like you?
It's fucking annoying how everything is "Marvel quips" when people can't actually elaborate.
