Also, Book of Boba Fett was *also* terrible, but that specific episode is legit very good.

Also, you could potentially include Mandalorian S3 Ep4, which has a really excellent Jedi Purge flashback — arguably the best one there is — but the rest of the episode (while very good) isn't really about that at all, so it's kind of a non-sequitur.
Also, you don't really need to watch the rest of Kenobi after that first episode if you've committed to this order. You'll see Leia again in Rogue 1 — where her appearance, while deeply disturbing for uncanny valley reasons — will suddenly be way more interesting (she's alive!).
And, yes, the Mando episode I included is also a lot of non-sequitur given the order, but it combines a vivid depiction of the Purge of Mandalore — complete with K2 droids you'll then see in Andor — with a depiction of Tatooine, cementing the planet's relevance alongside Kenobi, etc.
Finally, you're are introduced to the *concept* of Jedi early, but it's clear why they weren't really talked about for a while (they were, you know, purged and fled into hiding). So you'll recognize a Force-user in Andor, but understand why it's low-key. And when you meet Vader, it's a whole thing
Oh also you don't actually have to include Jedi: Fallen Order or Rise and Fall if you're doing a strict watch-through — but they're helpful context and lore, etc.
Also looks like you avoid having to deal with any mitichlorian nonsense.
Boba Fett was awesomely bad tho. Like it had the "Boba Fett rides in on a rancor beast" scene and that was super dumb fun. Kenobi was only notable because it had absolutely heroic acting performances from its leads trying valiantly and failing miserably to save a truly abysmal script.
Advisedly I would like to offer a different opinion of Boba Fett: it's the Tulsa King of Star Wars, except the Tulsa King is an incompetent whose success was based entirely on a reputation for bounty hunting and he fails dramatically when he tries to parlay that into leadership. It's cautionary.
