Yes - I have read the first few paragraphs and now considering taking the plunge (having not watched any Star Wars media since Rise of Skywalker). This sounds like a fun time!
Is it crazy to jump in without having watched Andor/Mandalorian/Acolyte?

You definitely can avoid The Acolyte. (Even if it was better, it takes place long before the prequels, let alone the original trilogy.) And agreed with Myles re: Andor.
Based on these first two episodes, you'll probably be able to follow along and enjoy this show even if you had never seen any Star Wars before. You'll miss the occasional easter egg, but nothing plot-relevant, it seems.

…I mean you SHOULD watch Andor, but it is in no way required to watch this.

I love the Mandalorian, so I highly recommend it.
