What's the best order to watch Star Wars, 456123 or 123456?

>>80675393
456123. It will make you appreciate revenge of the sith much more.

456

>>80675393
125436. it enables you to empathize with Anakin's plight better

Despecialized Edition
Star Wars
Emipre Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi

Never watch any other starwars content, or you'll ruin everything.

253641 is the patrician order

First time should always be release order

For rewatches everything goes but i like to skip 1 and 2 and then watch 3456

123 for watching with friends and shittalking

RO/4/5/6/7

Like literally all art created in the history of the human race: the order in which it was created

Rogue 1 > 4 > 5 > evangelion episode 25+26 > 1 > 2 > Problem Child 2 > 7 > TDKR opening scene > 3 > 6

1 with all the obi wan bits.
2with all the obi wan bits.
3.
8.
4.
5.
6.

7 can go in the bin.

This is the best way for normies to watch it the first time. Otherwise just watch 5.

4, 5, 2, 3, 6

That's all you really need. Think of 1, 7, and RO as mildly entertaining spinoffs from the main story about Anakin and Luke.

Actually, on second thought, forget 2. Just 4, 5, 3, and 6.

>>80675924
All three of those are the three worst suggestions at the same time in this thread. Did you try to create a list that ruins the series for the person watching it or have your tendies spoiled in your pants?

>>80676075
Truth is: why watch ANY of the prequels? Don't need episode 1, don't need episode 2, and maybe you can find some joy out of 3 but really, it's kiddy shit who like lightsaber fights out of their ases.

>>80676044
It emphasizes the motif of order/disorder and confoundment in the process of attaining enlightenment which is ubiquitous throughout the entire Star Wars series.

If you like less than 10% of the material, then maybe Star Wars just isn't for you, bro.

i ain't no expert but didn't lucas make 456 before knowing he'd make 123?

he could have made 123 in order to be watched before the first 3

>>80675393
Out of date question now 7 and RO are out.

How do I implement Clone Wars into my SW marathon?

>>80676428
451236 starts with Luke being the hero, then discovering the truth of his father. We spend some time with Anakin before his fall and then get two conclusions together to wrap things up. Throne room battle and Vader's redemption is very satisfying this way.

>>80676319
>Truth is: why watch ANY of the prequels?

I think 3 and to a lesser extent 2 gives you a look back at Anakin, how he was a whiny little bastard with a tragic past just like Luke, and how it went so horribly wrong for him. It's a nice setup for Episode 6 where Luke tries to redeem him. I think the best way to do it would be to cut and edit episodes 2 and 3 together into just one movie, maybe 100 minutes long combined. Remove most of the fluff, silly stuff like the alien diner, kamino, Boba Fett Sr., the Grievous vs Obi-Wan fight, some of the more egregiously bad romance scenes, but keep enough scenes to convey the barebones outline of the story.

Break it down into two segments. The first 40 minutes or so are everything that happens in 2, the remaining 60 is the conclusion of 3 (again, cut to remove the worst shit).

4567

Rogue One can be watched whenever you want after 4

the prequels are shitty films and only worth watching so you can properly meme on /tv/, but do NOT watch them until you've seen the entirety of the original trilogy.

>>80676476
Lucas made the first Star Wars movie without knowing he was going to make 5, 6, 1, 2, or 3. He thought "Star Wars" (that's all it was called back then, no "New Hope" or "Episode 4") was going to flop. Then when he discovered that he had struck gold he had the foresight to slap "Episode 4" on the end of it and get to work on the rest.

>>80676557
Episode 1 is completely pointless. You're right about the throne room battle though, that was unironically a nice bit of "poetry" by Lucas.

>>80676525
Well yea. 4chan needs to make a rifftrax version of them.

>>80676441

That's 121 episodes each about 22 minutes long anon.
That's 44 hours and 22 minutes anon.

Yes you skip watching the clone wars when rewatching the movies.

>>80676571
You could honestly cut episode 2 down to 20 minutes. So much of it is so unnecessary to the main story. We don't even need to see Anakin and Padme falling in love. Just start the whole movie with the arena scene.

Honestly, if you think about it, by the time the sequel trilogy concludes the /definitive/ order to watch will be an extended version of Machete Order i.e. 4>5>1>2>3>6>7>8>9 because it emphasizes Luke the most. (see >>80676557 if you need clarification)

>>80676441
>What next? Skip Clone Wars, Rebels, Zahn trilogy, Caravan of Courage, Rogue One, Christmas Special, etc?

Yes. Also, Zahn's trilogy isn't canon anymore.

>>80676643
Drink the Kool-aid, dude.

Star Wars is for kids. If you didn't watch one of the movies when you were a kid, don't watch it now, it won't appeal to you. Just rewatch whatever you saw when you were a kid. Let the nostalgia override the silly stuff.

>>80676852
He should at least watch 4 and 5.

>>80676852
Not true. I've met people who enjoyed it despite it not being their type of movie and not growing up with it. It's actually pretty interesting to see them say "Uh...well... it was pretty good".

>>80675544
His redemption in 6 works better when you haven't seen 123 beforehand, thanks to the sandpeople and younglings shit from the prequels.

>Yes, I'm asking about first watch. Are they too childish?

Yeah, I really think they are. Personally I love Star Wars, but objectively they're not very good movies, with the exceptions of 4, 5, and to a lesser extent (which are very solid action-adventure flicks). The majority of the Star Wars movies and tv shows out there are just plain bad.

The Stars Wars fanbase is divided into groups of people claiming one movie or another is shit and awful. And basically, more often than not, the real reason for their claims comes down to "was I under 18 when the movie was made"? There's a really obvious generational split. The oldest (basically 40+) only like the originals, people from about 20 to 40 often like the prequels even though they're not that good, and the youngest, those poor retards, they thought Episode 7 was a good movie.

Oh, they're all great in their own awful way. Don't get me wrong, I read the shit out of Star Wars books (in secret so my friends wouldn't find out and laugh at me). I still love the scene in the Rogue Squadron series where they convince Wes Jansen that a deranged Ewok is on the loose in a Star Destroyer and the only way for him to catch it is to strip naked and cover himself in Ewok food. Classic stuff.

do you really believe the vast majority of critics and audiences are young children?

oh wait, they were paid off by the Disney jews, lol

>>80677485
Not exactly. I'm distinguishing between "Star Wars fans" and "people who went to see Star Wars". The difference can basically be boiled down to a 5-year gap in when you lost your virginity.

The average person who went to see Star Wars and said "fun, Star Wars is back! Exhilarating, JJ Abrams has done it again!", I'm not talking about those people. I'm talking about the faggots who had lightsaber duels with their friends when they were kids.

I don't want to say the movies are childish, but when I watched them I recognized I would have loved it if I watched them as a kid. But 24 year old adult me just saw 70s special effects with bad dialogue and a piss poor story that has endlessly been spoiled by pop culture my entire life.

I can tell for certain that you ARE trolling.
Your posted Star Wars series orders are:
"6875309" which you later corrected to "8675309"
Both of which imply that your ideal Star Wars viewing order includes an "Episode Zero".

I expect your next response will be either another non-sequitar or an implication that the ZERO in between 3 and 9 in the "309" section of both your posts is not an indication of Episode Zero at all, and when confronted you will give a vague answer of "well.... it's obvious what I meant isn't it?"

>>80679412

>>80675805
4, 5, The Clone Wars, 3, and 6.

release order for everything always

>>80679412
Episode zero is obviously the Christmas special since it holds zero relevance to the series but it's still a necessary watch for true fans.

Fucking idiot nerf hearders like you make me sick.

>>80675696
A MESS

How can you watch those movies as anything but dumb action if you're watching it like that? RO and 7 are entirely unnecessary to the story, at least until they finish the trilogy, in which case 7 may become relevant to the story but likely won't, and RO will never be necessary or relevant to the story. Besides, 7 and RO are Star Wars in name only. And I don't just mean because Lucas wasn't there. Lucas is a fucking retard who got lucky and made a few good movies despite their shitty storylines and scripts. I mean that 7 is tonally fucked to the point where it's not even a Star Wars movie. Everybody is a comic relief character and they have some happy adventures before they blow up the death star at the end and it gets all sad and serious because Han dies. It isn't like Star Wars at all, and the themes are completely different from Star Wars. Meanwhile, Rogue One was in no way a Star Wars movie. It worked okay as a war movie, but to watch it in a lineup with 4-6 is fucking retarded because they're not even in the same genre.

456

Anything with jar jar, then go watch Dr who instead.

4, 5, 6

if you REALLY want more, go for R1

the rest is just not worth your time unless you are hardcore fan and will watch anything star wars, but in this case you might as well watch rebels, clone wars or read star wars novels

I really think that parts of episodes 2 and 3 should be included. Not the whole movies, of course, but certain scenes, if properly cut together, could provide a nice little 45-minute "flashback" that fleshes out Anakin's story a bit and gives a little context to Luke's struggle with the Dark Side in Episode 6.

If somebody watches Episodes 4 and 5, and actually enjoys it, then I would definitely recommend watching the last 30 minutes of Episode 2 and more or less the entirety of Episode 3.

>>80675393
This is the one true order.

Episode IV: A New Hope
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (skip any scene with Grievous)
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

If you really enjoyed these movies, then you should go watch Episode I, Episode II, and Rogue One. If you really loved *those* movies, then you clearly have a tolerance for utter shit, and I would happily recommend that you start working your way through the Star Wars Expanded Universe Books. I'm personally a big fan of the audiobooks of the NJO series and Legacy of the Force, I used to listen to them in secret late at night or on flights to other parts of the state for the HS baseball championships and they were terrific.

Most people are Plebs and think Episode 4 is just plain boring and old.
So you start with 3. The visuals still hold up pretty well and it is a competently made film actually.
After that you show them Rogue One to make a bridge to the OT.
Now they are on your bait and want to know what happens next. So now you show them 4 5 and 6.
If they like Star Wars now you can go with 1 and 2.

Maybe you can even start with 7 because dumb action and funny quips will make them realise it's just as the capeshit they love so much. And then you show them whatever you want.
