Good to know

I'm adding episode names because depending on where you watch, some season premieres or finales are grouped into TV movies, which changes the season's episode count and can shift everything

When does Rebels (Shorts 1-4 (The Machine in the Ghost, Art Attack, Entanglement, Property of Ezra Bridger)) take place in the Star Wars universe?

The shorts, the first season and the start of season 2 take place between 5 and 4 BBY

Why watch Rebels (Shorts 1-4 (The Machine in the Ghost, Art Attack, Entanglement, Property of Ezra Bridger)) at this point in the timeline?

Because the episodes fall here chronologically

When does Rebels (Season 2 Episodes 10-22) take place in the Star Wars universe?

The rest of season 2 takes place in 3 BBY, and season 3 takes place in 2 BBY

When does Rebels (Season 3 Episodes 18-22) take place in the Star Wars universe?

The episodes take place in 2 BBY, right after Andor

Why watch Rebels (Season 3 Episodes 18-22) at this point in the timeline?

Because episode 18 runs in parallel with episode 9 of Andor

Stop the series finale at the 42-minute mark if you've never seen Star Wars IV-V-VI. The epilogue takes place later.

When does Rebels (Season 4) take place in the Star Wars universe?

The season takes place in 1 BBY

Why watch Rebels (Season 4) at this point in the timeline?

Because although it runs in parallel with the end of Andor, that ending is much better watched right before Rogue One
