Watching the trailer got me wondering: have the Ewoks and Mandalorians traded places post-reality warping? But ya I'm digging the plot of a reality warping artifact falling into the hands of some dude who's way in over his head. Bonus points in that said dude is Dustin Henderson.

Set! Avenge! "Henshin." Black General! Bujin Sword! Ready, Fight!Thinking about the finale of The Bad Batch, and considering what Project Necromancer actually ended up producing can't help but imagine Palpatine's original intention was to clone a force sensitive Zilo Beast for him to possess and run amok with.
I always assumed the Zillo Beast was just another project - back in Clone Wars Palpatine expressed interest in its scales because the material might be repurposable for armouring.
The way Hemlock and Palpatine talk about things during the latter's visits implies that Project Necromancer is the most important project worked on in the facility, but not the only one. Hemlock's operative program also exists after all.
We learn from history that we do not learn from historyIf there’s anything to learn from Warner Brothers’ outings, it’s to come up with absurdity and push it to its limits. Considering how much absurdity Star Wars has garnered, Disney didn’t have to do much work when it came to interpreting concepts. I find it suitable considering Lego lets you do anything.
That said, I worry that it will lack substance and be lost to the Pander-Verse. If there is a positive, I will say that I find it’s good at aping the Lego movies’ styles.

In Legends Thrawn also had a secret backup clone made of himself using Spaarti Cloning techniques so I doubt he would think Project Necromancer to be mere vanity.
He would propably have issue with the amount of resources poured into creating a force-sensitive clone and the fact that children are being used as the test subjects.

The issue is, as I understand it, is that no one in the empire knows Palpatine on death can potentially possess a force sensitive clone (or offspring) of himself. So as far as the empire knows, making a palpatine clone force sensitive is unnecessary for producing a continuity figure head fail safe.
Also, remind me, wasn't the point of operation cinder was Palpatine's game of chicken with imperial would be assassins; that if any of them actually had the gall to kill him he'd take the empire they covert with them in flames. I guess that's what he fell back on when Project Necromancer failed to bare fruit during his (fist) lifetime.
Hypothetically, if someone just got Disney Plus and, hypothetically, wanted watch the various live action Star Wars series and hypothetically assumed that chronological order makes the most sense, (unless there was some reason why watching something not in chronological order would make more sense, for reasons that wouldn't be apparent unless they had already watched the series) what order would you recommend watching the series, hypothetically?
The tv shows? Specifically the live action ones?
Well, there aren't too many of those yet, so it's not too much of an order, but Chronological Order would be Andor, then the Mandoverse series in order of Mando S1 and S2, then Book of Boba Fett, then Mando S3, then Ahsoka.
Andor is so completely unconnected to the events of the Mandoverse that it's place in the order doesn't really matter though, imo.
And of course, if you really want to do all the shows in exact chronological order said fan might want to just wait a couple of weeks and start with The Acolyte.

You are forgetting Obi-Wan Kenobi, which takes place before Andor I believe?
Live action star wars goes
The Acolyte, Episode 1, 2, 3, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Solo, Andor, Rogue One, Episode 4, 5, 6, Mandolorian series 1, 2, book of boba fett, Mando series 3, Ashoka, Episode 7, 8, 9.
Kenobi and Andor are both utterly unconnected from the Mando verse, which is Mandalorian, Ashoka, and Bobs Fett, which all take place over an over lapping time frame and share characters. (Sometimes they have episodes of each others shows in the middle of their seasons)
I agree that Acolyte looks like it'll make for a great jumping on point.
Meanwhile Kenobi is pretty much an attempt at Episode 3.5, and Andor is great but only one of two seasons is out so far.
EDIT: I just realised that you posted this in the animated Star wars thread, so perhaps you meant the animated shows?
They're a lot tighter in continuity being all the brain child of Dave Filoni. The main seasons follow into each other pretty well.
Clone Wars -> Bad Batch -> Rebels and there's a lot of continuity between them. Bad Batch is pretty much a continuation of Clone Wars but with a tighter scope onto the clones.
The exception is Resistance, which is something completely different following a town of civilians way out in the First Order era.
The first three seasons of Clone Wars are not in chronological order, and I think fan consensus is that the official Disney guide on the correct order is wrong. I always skip the first three seasons so I'm not the best person to ask.
There's also the Tales Of shorts. I think some of them are really ambiguous in when they're set, and some of them take place over a period of time, or a trio of episodes cover a large tome span but are meant to be watched back to back for a thematic story.
I think the chronologically goes...
Tot J ep 2, 3, 1, 4, Clone Wars, Tot J ep 5, Tot E ep 4, Bad Batch, Tot E ep 5, Tot J ep 6, Tot E ep2, Rebels, Tot E ep 6, Tot E ep3, Resistance.
Tales of the Empire episode 1 takes place right in the middle of clone wars, but I'd watch it instead later, before Tot E episode 2, as a flashback of sorts to explain the character.

All right, that's exactly what I was looking for. Didn't want to go looking on the wiki because odds are good I'd get spoilered on something trying to piece all that together, like that one time I wanted to learn something about V from Devil May Cry 5 and ended up getting totally spoiled about his true nature in the first sentence. So, thanks.
Edit: Oh, I was totally asking about the live action shows. Already seen the animated stuff.

So it looks like show really will go The Lion Guard route.
One one hand that is period where Nihil are mostly playing dead and just occasionally do minor raids, on other hand that is when Drengir are active.
I'm really interested about what they're going to do with Bell, since he's probably going to keep cameoing.
They keep setting him up as Kai's future master, but Bell spends most of this time period kind of... extremely depressed. It'd be odd to keep having him be as bright and receptive as he was in the first season.
Also, Cyrus should be fun. I wonder if they're going to do the "sympathetic villain tries to join even worse villains, only to realize they're far too evil and end up stuck with them before changing sides" thing with the Nihil. Lion Guard basically did that with Janja, iirc.

It's a possibility. I mean, I'm not knowledgeable on anything related to the High Republic nor will I watch a bunch of Star Wars projects just to get context. I mainly just checked out Young Jedi Adventures given how much I like Disney Junior shows. The show going a bit darker in season 2 simpler to The Lion Guard could be a possibility. I mean, this is the first Disney Junior show to also be a Disney Plus original, meaning looser restrictions on streaming compared to regular television. Plus, given how Young Jedi Adventures currently has limited reruns (only currently being shown weekends at 7:55 pm and 11:15 pm), I'd assume it's a tradeoff where the series is shown less, but could get away with a bit more.

They actually picked a very good time period for upping things keeping it fairly light.
The short of it is that, essentially, something really destructive has just happened, but the good guys are under the impression that the villains have been defeated and things are safe again (they're not, but the most we'd get is foreshadowing, if that). So the atmosphere could be a bit more tense, but still not fully serious.
For a bit longer explanation, a pirate horde called the Nihil recently "accidentally" caused a major nigh-apocalyptic Disaster across several planets and star system. The leader of the Nihil framed one of his underlings for it, so the Jedi think the Nihil are defeated, and the Republic is back to raising morale through cool, grand projects just like Starlight Beacon, including a huge Worlds Fair on a planet called Valo.
So missions the heroes could go on could include going around the galaxy helping people recover from the Disaster, that sort of thing. Also, Valo is about to be catastrophically attacked in a couple months, but in the meantime our young heroes could definitely go there and be excited about the fair as its being set up. Stuff like that.

Timeline wise, the High Republic era is essentially the Golden Age of the Republic - where the Republic is expanding and building greater and greater things with minimal corruption, and Jedi are far more integrated with society - and officially ranges from about 500 to 100 years before A New Hope.
In terms of when the actual stories are set, most of them are set around 240 years before A New Hope (more or less right at the Golden Age's peak), with another set of stories set around a hundred years before that.
