What order should I watch the Star Wars films?

I intend to watch the Star Wars movies for the first time, a few friends have said I should start with Ep.3 to 6, others have said just to skip the first three all together.



Which viewing order is best?What order should I watch the Star Wars films?This question gets asked a lot and no offense to those who say to watch them in Chronological order (IE: ep 1 - 6 ) but they just don't get it because that is the absolute worst way to watch them. If you want to enjoy the full experience of the Star Wars saga then I beg you ... the only way to watch them is ep IV - VI then ep I - III. Why ... well this is just my "theory" but it holds a couple oceans of water.



Start with the fact that they were released that way and that is how the story was meant to be told. Watching them this way will also keep the "suspense" in them. Both of the trilogies "tell" on the secrets of the others but the prequels take much of the suspense out of the OT with some of the info learned in them. There is a scene in episode V: The Empire Strikes Back that was voted # 4 by SAG as one of the most shocking revelations in the entire history of film ... if you watch them ep I - III then ep IV - VI you will lose the "WTF" value it carried in 1980 because you will already know what it is and it won't seem like a big deal to you. The problem with that is that this event WAS a big deal to the saga itself. It basically took everything we thought we knew and tossed it into the recycle bin. To this day I remember what happened in the theater I was in to watch this movie for the first time and heard Darth Vader utter 5 words that turned the Star Wars saga upside down ... absolute silence ... you could have heard a pin drop 10 miles away ... we were stunned silent by this "revelation" ... this went on for about 10 seconds and then one by one you heard people say, no way ... he's lying ... don't believe him Luke ... and it went on until Luke made his decision and then another cheer went up in the crowd. Yeah, that's the kind of "crazy" we were back then. This trilogy grabbed the people of my generation and said ... you think that was cool ... watch this. It's kind of like it was back in the 50s when all the kids were listening to that "Devil Music" called Rock n Roll. It was one of those things that had to be felt not seen. I doubt we will ever seen any movie in any genre that will come close to topping this saga ...



There is one other thing to decide also with respect to the OT (ep 4 – ep 6) … there are 3 versions of these movies … the ones that came out to theaters in 77 – 83 … the SE versions that came to theaters in 97 … and the DVD versions that came out in 2004. Is there much difference between the 3 versions … for the most part no. The main thing that was changed was picture quality and sound quality. Lucas did change some scenes and did add some small scenes. I would suggest you watch the DVD versions, as they are the “final” word according to Lucas.



Many people "trash" the prequels, I really can't abide by that. Even as a true Star Wars Geek I will be the first to admit that the prequels were flawed ... at least ep 1 %26amp; 2 ... personally I thought that ep 3 rocked from start to finish but that's just me I guess. I really wish that fans would stop and think about just why they didn't like the prequels and actually say why they don't like them instead of saying "they suck". When I stop and do that I come up with 3 main reasons why they weren't as good as the originals. First, Lucas got too hung up on all the fancy different ways he could blow things up with all the new CGI that they had developed at ILM and forgot that what made Star Wars the iconic saga that it was and will always be ... the story itself. Second, is that when Lucas decided to make the prequels he had to do the impossible ... make 3 more movies as good as or better than the original trilogy ... it couldn't be done. Third, fan ignorance. With the 16 years in between the trilogies fans had already came up with their own "version" of how these 3 movies would go and when they didn't match the story in their head if ticked them off to the point that they didn't like them.



Anyways, sorry for the ramble but the Star Wars saga is one of my true passions.. I guess the main thing I'm trying to say is that ep IV - VI then ep I - III is the way to go if you want to feel the true magic of Star Wars.

.What order should I watch the Star Wars films?
I really think, in order to enjoy and understand the whole Star Wars idea. You should start with the older films first. You get a really good idea of what it was supposed to be about. After you have seen these, go and see all the prequals to get an understanding of how things got started. i.e. the rebellion and the thoughts/plans of the death star and the story of how Darth Vader turned to the dark side. I really think that seeing the movies this way makes more sense than seeing them starting from episode 1. It will also allow you to make a good comparison to how these movies really and truly follow each other. After seeing them in this order you will have a great idea of how and if the prequals should of been made and why they were. Hope this helps.What order should I watch the Star Wars films?If you haven't read any of the books you should start by watching them in the order they were made e.g, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2 and 3.



However if you read the books already, you can skip 1, 2 and 3. As, they are just telling you what 4, 5, and 6 are all about.



3 to 6 wouldn't make much sense, because most of 3 would be boring and confusing.



Hope that helped!What order should I watch the Star Wars films?
I personally prefer 4–6 then 1–3, which is the order that the movies came out in the first place.



Of course, you might prefer to watch it in order, because that way you'll feel less disappointed at the end regarding how bad Eps. 1–3 were.



Flip a coin; watch 1–3 so that you've seen them once and can ignore them in the future.What order should I watch the Star Wars films?The movies were released in this order: Ep IV - A new hope, Ep V - Empire Strikes Back, Ep VI - Return of the Jedi, Ep I - Phantom Menace, Ep II - Attack of the Clones, Ep III - Revenge of the Sith.



But the story continuity is Eps I thru VI in order.
I like jonas brothers ,The Descent ,SuperBad, Role Models, What Happens in Vegas

Bride Wars :)

the original trilogy (4,5,6) and watch the remakes



then try the 3 new movies. I didn't think they were any good tbh. they weren't bad (well some of it was pretty bad)
If you want the entire story, start from 1-6

Although I side with your friends as far as the first three are concerned, you really should see the whole story. Start with episode I.
in a row makes the most sense starting with 1 the newer ones then the older ones last
watch them in order to fully understand the story of the sith, darthvader and so on...
3, 4, 5, 6, drink lotsa beer, 1, 2
watch them in order! 1-6! go!
Watch them in the order they were made.
I watched them in order 1-6 one day, and it was pretty sick. The Originals blow the New ones out of the water
Thats like, 12 hours of your life you will never get back and its hardly worth it
I recommend that you sit in front of a nice fire.



And toss them in one at a time.......
watch it from ur butt
