Best Way to watch the Star Wars Series?

You’re better off watching a fight scene compilation. The rest of it is really not that great.

Watch 4 - 8, in release order, then Rogue One (followed by the intro to 4 again). Skip 9 and the prequels altogether.

You see the trailer for Kenobi? It doesn’t look too bad

Prequels- take a shot every time Anakins whines

Original- coast thru on the buzz from the prequel

Sequels- resume drinking… a lot.

Rebels was great. I went into it thinking it wasn’t going to do a lot for me but man, it was a great series.

Watch the ones made by Lucas. Everything after that is steaming garbage.

For me it was seeing something I hadn’t seen before courtesy of Disney+: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and maybe the Obi-wan Kenobi story when it comes out on May 27. I also saw Rogue 1 and ‘episodes’ VII, VIII and IX but I wasn’t overly impressed. I found the animated series rather interesting.

I take solace in this…

The fact the Clone Wars (animated) ENDS … right where ep3 STARTS … almost makes it required viewing.

I can’t imagine just being some rando going to watch ep3, Grievous walks onto the deck and is ALL SORTS of bad shape … and there’s just… NO explanation for it? You’re just supposed to shrug off this guy came from a big battle he almost lost??

The ending of the Clone Wars is a major part of the story.

All in a bucket, soaked with lighter fluid.

Didn’t that show take a bit before fans got on board with that one female character in it? Uh I forget her name. Her hair is white I think.

I just know the bare basics of the prequels and original trilogy. Mostly A New Hope. And the original Star Tours as Disneyland. The rest I have no dang idea whats going on lol

ROFL.

Happy life day!

I would suggest taking a shot during the Originals for egregious Lucas Dialogue (repeating the same words in a sentence, word choice so stilted they make an eye twitch).

The Prequels for every time someone randomly and pointlessly spins in a sword fight.

And the Sequels for every time the music gets hilariously excited over… not much going on.

Machete and ignore Disney Wars

The best order is watching “The Mandalorian” and “The Book of Boba Fett”, they are better than all of those other ones. :wink:

But actually, since I’m 55, people should watch them in the order that I had to. I still remember being 10 years old, in a theater in Nebraska, when a small ship moved across the screen in the most realistic manner we had seen up to that time, with a huge, thundering Star Destroyer following after it in what seemed like minutes for the expanse of it to actually pass by. Then I was glued to the screen for two hours, actually considering the possibility that I should just wet myself instead of running to the restroom. I felt like Saul with scales falling from his eyes on the road to Damascus.

I actually feel sorry for the kids of today; they will never know that feeling of when things began, with glorious matte-lines and all.

One of my biggest regrets is that I did not go to see “Jaws” in the theaters, the previous year. Being only nine years old I was too scared to go to see it with my Father and 10-year-old brother. But he probably suffered from nightmares. :wink:
So I did not see that until YEARS later when we finally had cable.

Prequels are amazing world builders.

Originals are classics.

Sequels are trash

Watch them in chronological order, including the entirety of the clone wars series between episode 2 and 3, that’s where the good stuff is

Prequels are fun because you can look at every character and know that not a one of them gets a happy ending.
