As a kid I recall seeing what I thought was Star Wars episode 1,2,3 but somehow was Star Wars 4,5,6. Life was simple that way. Then we got 1,2,3 which were in my opinion far inferior. Then we got a bunch of Disneyland episodes after that and honestly I couldn’t be bothered watching them. It confuses the hell out of me. I think that after 1,2,3 came out we got 7,8,9 or some poo poo like that. Seriously I’d like to somehow get into these episodes but there’s a barrier because I just don’t get the order of things. Theres some chick who is like a bad rear end and a ball robot that is orange and white. Where does this fit in?

Correct order is 4 5 2 3 6 Rogue One, Solo, and The Phantom Menace are all side stories.

Piggy Smalls posted:gently caress. Why? Narrative integrity. Watching in release order for the first two movies preserves the "I am your father reveal" then you dip back in (in-universe) time into the prequels for episode 2 and 3 to get the Vader backstory before popping back into the original trilogy for the thrilling, furry conclusion in episode 6. Oh and Disney made a couple supposed "main series" movies that take place afterward, those are 7, 8, and the upcoming 9. Here's a very in-depth article from the nerd who came up with this poo poo https://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/ As a massive loving Star Wars nerd I give it my endorsement.

If you just watch them a couple times each it all just sort of gels together in congealment. Weed is optional.

Luke starts to have sex with his sister but then realizes he’s gay and the rest of the poo poo is his dad and his gay buddies trying to get Luke to be gay with them but he’s not into it.

Also, the prequels are better in context with other canon material. Namely the Clone Wars TV series which is better quality than frankly most of the movies in the whole franchise (and Ahsoka is way more badass than Rey). And then there's the Rebels series which is aimed for a younger audience and seems to have a lower budget but also contains the single best (and shortest) lightsaber duel in the entire loving franchise.

Hey BTW Disney is doing a relabelling of episodes 1-9 as "The Skywalker Saga" so that Star Wars X, which takes place in the KotOR era, will kick off the Old Republic series of films and take you to a sweet and loving death. They've even decided that the standardized branding for each trilogy set is a thing now (which is why 7-9 have Star Wars at the center but with different color fills).

it was an early missile shield that included laser satellite platforms with a nuclear reactor that would shoot down an incoming ICBM while the satellite platform would blow up and rain highly radioactive debris after a single firing. some say it was an early indicator of Reagan's deteriorating mental facilities

Star Wars is dead and its time of cultural cache is waning because Disney botched it so badly, so I dont think theres any reason to get involved at this point.

1, 2, and 3, are elaborate pranks. 4,5,and 6 are great. Rogue One and Solo are best. 7 is okay, and 8 is hilarious and fun. 9 will be poo poo because the only thing worse than a terrible director is a butthurt terrible director who is pissed off that episode 8 poo poo right in his stupid mouth.

The only Star Wars movie you need to watch is the Holiday Special. It introduces you to all the important Star Wars lore, like how much Chewbacca's dad likes to jack it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hH8rxarVG8

Honestly if they don't CGI Bea Arthur back to life in episode 9 I am going to put all my Star Wars figures in a burlap sack for like two weeks.

watch 4, 5, 6 for real movies, 7 maybe 8 for CGI pew pew, and the prequels if you found the OT characters too cool and interesting and would rather see them as dumb boring twats.

Star Wars movies will be like Santa to my kids. Eventually they'll find out there's more than 4-6, but until that day we'll preserve their innocence. I liked Rogue One more than any of the other numbered entrys.

Just watch the original trilogy (4, 5, 6) over and over again because they're amazingly great, iconic classic films that defined the action-adventure sci-fi genre and are still excellent today. Especially the first two. Skip the prequel trilogy (1, 2, 3) because they're insulting, poorly written garbage, horribly produced in every respect, and mostly boring as heck. The first two prequels put me to sleep because nothing happens. The last one moves at a decent pace at least but it's just really goddamn insanely bad. The newer sequel trilogy is okay with very entertaining standout moments here and there so far, but they're definitely skippable. Solo is dogshit and is so bad that it murdered the idea of further side story movies. Never watch it. Rogue One is a must-watch. Think Star Wars except it's an actual high stakes war movie with a band of rear end in a top hat rebels who don't trust each other. Some of the editing is very weird and disjointed at times (probably because Disney was allegedly very unhappy with the movie and hired a last minute editor), but it's highly enjoyable and mostly awesome.

Much like the Simpsons, there's now significantly more bad Star Wars media than good Star Wars media. Also every single character has had at least one novel written about them (yes, even the wolf guy) and they usually sound batshit insane.

Just recently rewatched Hidden Fortress - the Kurosawa movie which the first movie is largely based off - and the cinematography is sooo superior. Sure most (all?) art is theft but SW really pales in comparison.

Just watch them in the order they came out in, until you get bored. If the movie gets stupid and you're not enjoying it, just don't watch the next one. Don't listen to the people who'll tell you it's "better". Better doesn't mean good. That's how we got into this mess in the first place.
