What order should I watch Star Wars in?
There are loads of ways to watch the Star Wars movies, and there’s no real “right answer”. But here are a few options:
Release Order:
Episodes 4,5,6,1,2,3,7
Why? Because it’s the order most people experienced the Star Wars universe in.
Chronological Order:
Episodes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Why? Because it’s the order that tells the story from start to finish, without weird time-jumps.
Machete Order:
Episodes 4,5,2,3,6,7
Why? Because it skips episode 1 – widely regarded as bad – and keeps Luke’s parentage a secret.
