Which Outlaw Star episodes can I skip?

Skip episodes 13–14, 17–19.

Is Outlaw Star filler worth watching?

Filler is written by the animation studio to avoid overtaking the manga, so it sits outside the main story and rarely changes anything that matters later. Skipping it costs you nothing on a first watch.
