Start with Gundam Origin (2015) and Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)

The main idea to keep in mind with the "Gundam" franchise is that its main canon timeline is called the Universal Century (UC). Started by series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino, the early part of the timeline mostly deals with the conflict between the Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation.

Hathaway (2021) continues the UC timeline while Turn A (1999) kind of concludes it

With Amuro and Char's story wrapped up by now, the UC continues to blast through. The characters change, but space mecha war, well, that never changes.

There's no incorrect way to watch UC side stories or explore the multiverse

We might have reached the finish line when it comes to UC-centric content, but we've still got some victory laps to take in the form of supplementary series. What's great is that most of these side series offer a glimpse of what was going on during the One Year War without having Amuro and Char in the spotlight.
