Watching All the Movies in the Right Order

One of the biggest ongoing debates for any Star Wars fan is the best way to watch all Star Wars movies. If you’re a long-time fan or you’ve just discovered Star Wars series, you’ll likely encounter this debate eventually, and here are some general guidelines you can follow.

Because of its complicated history and specific storytelling method, there are several possible ways of watching Star Wars movies that allow you to approach the storyline from different angles.

Chronological Order

For people who recently discovered or started learning more about the Star Wars world, this might be the most straightforward approach. The films were not originally released in chronological order, but if you want to watch it that way, the order is as follows:

Episodes I-III
Solo: A Star Wars Story
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Episodes IV-IX

If you watch it this way, you may see some spoilers in the first three episodes that might affect how you enjoy the rest of the series. But it might also spark your interest in watching the movies again, but in a different sequence such as:

The Skywalker Saga Order

This order is not only for fans, but everyone who wants to have a better understanding of a world where the Jedi Order and the Sith confront each other. It’s the preferred way to watch the movies if you want to follow the story of Luke Skywalker:

Episode IV: A New Hope
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Episodes I-III
Solo: A Star Wars Story
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Episodes VII-IX

By beginning with the first movie that was released, and following that with Episode IV and V, then moving to Episodes I, II, and III, you’ll follow the Luke Skywalker story arc to its spectacular and chronological end with Episode IX.
