People of the fediverse, lend me your ears...I have never seen all the Star Wars films (I’ve seen some of them, can’t remember which). I recently signed up for Disney+ and plan on watching them all.Which order should I watch them in?

@kev don't watch the Disney trilogy. It's not Star Wars. Rogue one and Solo are OK though. The Mandalorian (a series) is great. The animated series are both great.Don't watch the Disney Trilogy.

@kev Just watch the first three originals, and then Rogue One. The remainder are poor, and I wish I hadn't fallen for the hype.

@Matter @kev Go ahead and watch them all for completeness sake but don't expect them to live up to the original trilogy.

@kev just watch the original trilogy, the other two really aren't worth the time.

@kelbot This is how I did it. They are pretty bad, but worth watching for the story alone.

@kev For the originals, try project 4K77 ( https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k77/ ), a restoration of the original technicolor prints

@kev Definitely start with the original trilogy. There's a good story in the prequel trilogy but those movies have some infamously clunky dialog and performances that I think would make them harder to appreciate if you're not already invested. The Clone Wars animated series takes place between II and III and does a lot to improve on the prequel story too, if you want to spend that kind of time.I think Rogue One is excellent and Solo is fun.

@kev I have to agree with many others on here that says to watch in release order. I only ever watched the first of the Disney trilogy and stopped after that, but I have heard it isn't great. But, assuming you are watching all 9 main-line sw movies. The proper order is 456-123-789. There is really not a lot that 123 adds that improves the experience of 456. Whatever you do, enjoy it! And don't let mob opinion stop you from enjoying whichever ones you like. :)

@kev I voted for release date order but here's what I really think. I would watch Episodes 4-6 first, which matches release date order. Then, I'd watch the rest of the movies in chronological order.I have 4-6 first only because they are older. They'll look even worse if you watch the newer ones first. Also, you get a nice intro into the original concept by George Lucas first before getting into all of the expanded stuff.

@kev people love to hate on the sequel trilogy but I think they're fine, don't let the hate spoil them for you.Also, even though I voted for release order, it would be hella cool to watch Rogue One right before Episode IV, so I definitely recommend that.Also don't forget Blue Harvest and Spaceballs!

@kev Watch the original 3, then skip right to Rouge 1 then stop and fight anyone who tries to tell you there are any more movies than those 4.

@kev there’s something called the Machete Order. It’s basically 4,5,1,3,3,6 and then all the rest. All Star Wars is good stars wars because we have more Star Wars.

@pendragonzo @kev I did not watch those. I do plan on watching attack of the clone wars eventually as I've heard good things, but did not include it in my list due to length.

@kev https://time.com/4784685/star-wars-machete-order-rogue-one-force-awakens/Start with 4 "A New Hope", then 5 "Empire Strikes Back", then return to 2 "Attack of the Clones" 3 "Revenge of the Sith", then continue on with 6 "Return of the Jedi", then everything else in release order. 1 "Phantom Menace" is largely considered superfluous for the story. You *can* watch it before 2 "Attack fo the Clones", but it's really not necessary, unless you're a completionist.

@pavot @kev for a first time viewer I wouldn't skip episode 1. I know it technically can be skipped and not miss the sorry but you miss out on Liam Neeson and probably the best lightsaber duel scene in the movies.

@Cambria @kev the modified version where 1, 2, 3 are combined is quite good. 1 is pretty much only the final fight scene and featured in flashbacks, and most of the romance has been reduced in 2 and 3.

@kevIf you want the whole experience I definitely recommend the machete order. Hopefully you have watched the ones you've seen long enough ago that they can be new again. Machete order:New HopeEmpire strikes backEpisode 2Episode 3Return of the jediMachete order was conceived before the recent trilogy so they would be added to the end in release order. You would need to decide when to watch the origin story of Anakin if desired... I would suggest watching Episode 1 before the new trilogy though.

@kev if you're into scify then I recommend The Expanse. It is so underappreciated for some reasons that I can't understand.
