If you haven't seen ANY of the Star Wars movies yet watch them in their original order of release.

Start with Episode 4 a New Hope, Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back then watch Return of the Jedi 3rd.



THEN watch the prequels in THEIR order and you will have a more detailed and enjoyable experience.


You see with the prequels like Phantom Menace Ep 1, the whole point of the prequel trilogy was to show you HOW Anakin became Darth Vader. That was the main point, and that's why so many people, including myself, enjoyed Ep 3 Revenge of the Sith so much. It was about finally seeing how one of the most iconic "villains" in movie history became who he is.


We ALL know episode 1 was trash, needed, but trash except for Darth Maul. But we suffered through Phantom Menace and Jar Jar to get to Vader puttin on the mask in Revenge of the Sith.

Even though Yoda was a huge bonus in Attack of the Clones ep 2... IF you watched ep 4,5,6 then 1,2,and 3 especially

...if u happen to watch them in numerical order, 1,2,3,4,5,6, it's just not gonna feel the same :ld:
even though people fux wit Star Wars heavy no matter what in general.

no matter what The Force Awakens was :trash:
if you do to go see it though at least watch Return of the Jedi :martin:

:mjlol: yeah that's what it was

Episode 2 is the worst of the sequels
Stop it. 1 is by far the worst. Only thing remotely cool is the Maul fight.

The introduction of the clone troopers and seeing Yoda fight for the first time makes 2 better by itself .

Breh , watch Episode 2 and 3. shyt is not as bad as these guys make it out to be. Jar Jar is insignificant in episode 2 and 3 . Episode 2 is hated because nerds don't wanna see the love story play out. The execution is not great but it's watchable. Episode 3 is a must watch.
The acting and dialogue were the weaknesses of that part of the story. Otherwise it's good. ROTS is must watch I agree

They all tie in, 3 being the biggest tie to the OT.

Ep 1 sets the mold, Ep 2 expands it, and ep 3 closes it and leads it up to ANH

Revenge of the Sith is the best out of the prequels and is worth watching.

Ima give it another go I just hope I see less jar jar I felt stupid watching that shyt.

I wasn't really planning on skipping ROTS tho cause I for sure always heard good things about that movie
They aren't as bad as some reactions online suggest. The dialogue in episodes 1 and 2 aren't great though. Jar jar is the biggest issue. WOAT film character possibly. That South Park episode "Jakovasaurs" was inspired by him if you've ever seen that one. Watch all six though. It's important to the story and to understand the place each character is in.
:dead: I gotta see that. I'm not surprised south park got an episode on him, them dudes slay everyone they don't care

I'm going to see The Force Awakens on Christmas Day hopefully but Yeah, I watch 4-5-6-1-2-3 and it was such a Goddamn Chore to do so. It took me almost a Month to get them all out of the way and messed with my Jessica Jones. Still can't believe that I finished this Saga before Jessica Jones. I'm ready to watch The Force Awakens though, aiming for 3D so :manny:

@Uptown WaYo87 You sound like me Breh :russ: new to this whole Star Wars Saga thing. It's Work to get past all 6 of those Films but they're not so Bad if you can get into the Story and Connect with at least 2 of the Main Characters.

Yea I've always wanted to watch them I just never got around to it. I'm sure I'll like it, i jump right into created "universes" like this that have all this story and lore to it.I liked lord of the rings n read the hobbit and I fukking love game of thrones I read every book at least 3 times and watched every season of the show 2-3 times. Mass effect the game series was a space opera and to me personally is one of the richest universes ever created and one of its main inspirations was obviously star wars....I just gotta get past this jar jar binks dude :pachaha: that was pretty horrible

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
i think i'm going to watch them 1-7

i'm taking my whole family to see it in 4k imax the day after christmas.... my son has never seen any... so i might as well watch them all with him during christmas (so i can kinda ignore the boring shyt) and then the whole series is fresh when we see it the next day

cause i don't want to hear a bunch of questions in the theater of who is who and what happened in the back story

Anakin was very unlikable. He was whiny and annoying. My suggestion for anyone wanting to watch Episode 1 and 2 check out the edited versions on youtube. Both are much more watchable when edited.

Just watched Rots again is it a perfect movie? No. It has it flaws, but its a very good movie. The opening twenty minutes are damn good, the battle scenes in particular the one between yoda and Emperor were awesome and there was so much emotion involved with Obi and vader powerful stuff :wow: I almost want to say this movie is better than ROTJ :patrice:

Also after watching all three prequels I gained so much respect for Ewan McGregor as an actor he did a fantastic job as Obi-Wan. He and Ian Mcdiarmid held the prequels down. Ewan acted circles around Hayden Christensen though I will say Hayden stepped up his acting in ROTS especially during the second half of that flick.

I agree. He clearly had lots to learn as far as acting goes, but it didn't show nearly as much when he wasn't doing the romantic scenes. He was ok I felt in the other scenes. Dude had no chemistry with Natalie Portman and romantic dialogue was never something this series did well.

I had the exact same problems, breh. Shut that shyt off 5 mins after Jar Jar appeared and gave up on Star Wars. :pacspit:

this is why when people ask "what order should i watch them in?" I say go by release date because there's a chance you can watch 1-3 (or just 1 and 2) and be turned off to the whole shyt

Ewan def killed it. i legit felt bad for him and Liam Neeson in Episode 1 surrounded by all the CGI and shytty acting...its not AS bad in Episode 2 for Ewan...and in 3 the acting isnt nearly as bad but still has its flaws...Ewan def brought it and the homie Palpatine was killing it across the board.
