I'm re-watching Steven Universe, and I can't find a list that includes all the shorts, comics, and web posts. Here's mine, so far. I'll update it in chunks, as I go.

I recommend that first-time viewers should just watch the show, in its intended order. The biggest flaw of Steven Universe is that it starts slowly. Adding extra material means that you're less likely to stick around for the good stuff. Once you're hooked, then circle back for the tie-ins.

That said, I'll label anything that has spoilers for later episodes. I'm very conscientious about this.

This list includes everything that I can find, regardless of canonicity:
  • Canon
  • Crewniverse-created material (ambiguous canonicity; "The crewniverse" are the show's creators)
  • Level 2 canon (might be contradicted by later canon)
  • Non-canon
I use the Steven Universe Wikia to distinguish Level 2 canon from non-canon media. They don't distinguish crewniverse stuff from canon, as far as I can tell.
Non-fiction works will be underlined.

My first choice is to place tie-ins by their release dates. Some are set earlier though, and placed accordingly. For comics, I've tried to avoid flipping back and forth within a single book.

Episodes
A few episodes were aired out of order. I'll note those when we get to them.

After the five seasons of Steven Universe, Cartoon Network produced Steven Universe: The Movie, and a one-season epilogue, Steven Universe Future. Future episodes will be marked as season F. (Fx01, etc.)

The original pilot is non-canon.
"Say Uncle" is explicitly non-canon, but does contain useful character development. (Go figure.)
"Crossover Nexus" is an episode of OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes with non-canonical crossovers to other Cartoon Network shows.

Shorts
There are 11 canon mini-sodes.
There are also two non-canon ad campaigns: the Dove Self-Esteem Project and the Crystal Gems Speak Up Project

Web posts
Keep Beach City Weird and @Peridot5XG are in-character accounts created by the Crewniverse.

I'm considering including the promo images for each episode, but that's a lot of non-story material to add.

Comics
There are two runs of comics, as well as some miniseries and graphic novels. Check to see if your local library offers these on services like Libby and Hoopla!
To simplify things, I'm going to list them by page in their collected volumes. I'll also link to their various covers.
A few comics are Crewniverse content. All others are Level 2 canon.

Videogames
There are three canon videogames:
  • Steven Universe: Attack the Light!
  • Steven Universe: Save the Light
  • Steven Universe: Unleash the Light
All other games are non-canon.

This isn't the thread to continue this discussion. All are welcome, but we do not tolerate the negativity being brought.
 
  • Updated through 1x34
  • Added page numbers
  • Standardized how links are included
 
  • Updated through 2x05.
  • Some page numbers are still TK (To Come)
  • I'm a bit behind on adding Keep Beach City Weird posts
  • Changed the color scheme a little

Do you plan of updating this at some point?
Wow, it's been more than two years! Yes, I've always intended to come back to this. I've got another project I'm working on for Memory Beta, but I'll hit a good stopping place in a week or two.

I think I had notes for everything, and I was posting as I did a rewatch. At this point, it's better idea to just format what I have and post it. I can go back and update it if somebody spots any inconsistencies.

ETA: Oh, I remember now where I got bogged down! I got bored of Attack the Light, but didn't want to continue watching until I'd finished playing it.
