Check out Clone Wars and Bad Batch. These brought me back to star wars fandom. Don’t be put off by animation. The stories are excellent and there is lots of character development.
Andor comes with the distinct advantage that you don't have to slog through hours of questionable content to get to the good stuff.
Rebels is harder because they had a habit of sneaking key storyline bits into the meh episodes.
Clone Wars & Rebels both suffer at first from being a bit too kid-oriented, but both wind up getting pretty serious over time.
