Then the Prequel Trilogy made things more complicated, by going back in time to tell the story of Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader. There’s also plenty of non-canon content available, including the anime action of Star Wars Visions, and ‘The Story of the Faithful Wookiee’, a survivor of the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. And, starting with The Book of Boba Fett on December 29, 2021, many more are on the way – including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka and Andor. The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars Resistance and The Bad Batch are already available on the platform.

These days the universe is getting ever more complex, as Disney Plus plays host to enough new Star Wars TV shows to fill a star cruiser. Younger viewers, however, would probably plump for The Phantom Menace (aka Episode I), and watch the 11 existing Star Wars movies in order, as dictated by canon. Those who grew up on the Original Trilogy will probably say A New Hope (or Star Wars, as it was back in 1977) is the only place to begin. So there you have it - and I don’t see much to disagree with there, though you could make an argument for watching Rogue One right after III and before VI.Then there’s the dilemma of whether you start with A New Hope or The Phantom Menace – a question whose answer probably depends on your age.

I don’t think that works, the movie relies so much on an audience understanding of the Star Wars universe and Episode IV in particular that I don’t think it would be as enjoyable viewing it before Episode IV, let alone as the first Star Wars film you watch.

I’ve heard some people argue that since Rogue One shows us how the Rebellion got the Death Star plans they need in Episode IV, it’s now essential viewing and must be viewed before Episode IV itself. Why not include Rogue One in Machete Order, given how nicely it rolls directly into A New Hope? Here’s Hilton again: (everything else, optional, and in any order.) (all numbered Episodes released after Return of the Jedi)ģ) Rogue One, Clone Wars, Holiday Special, Episode I, Star Wars Rebels, Han Solo v Chewbacca: Dawn of Lando, etc. So my preferred Star Wars viewing order is now and, I believe, forever:Ģ) VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII. So when it comes to Episode VII, Rogue One, Episode VIII, Han Solo’s Big Day, Episode IX, Rise of Boba Fett: The Revenge, Episode X, and so on, unless those movies somehow make Luke Skywalker’s story more engrossing I can’t imagine ever actually changing Machete Order to include them. Including Anakin’s fall as a flashback makes us understand Luke’s temptation toward the dark side better, and it makes Return of the Jedi a more interesting film. The thing about Machete Order is that the goal isn’t to jumble up the movies for giggles, it’s about refocusing the overall story on Luke and his journey. So I reached out to Hilton directly to see what he had to say about matters. Of course, the existence of The Force Awakens and Rogue One complicate matters somewhat. But it also makes the entire experience of the Star Wars saga more rewarding. Machete Order has lots of benefits: Most notably, a whole lot less Jar Jar Binks and super-whiny Boy Anakin. Machete order works like this: IV, V, II, III, VI, skipping I entirely because the only good things about Episode I were the pod race scene and the Darth Maul lightsaber duel, please never, ever mention midi-chlorians, thanks.

The best way to watch Star Wars is something called “Machete Order,” detailed here by computer software blogger Rod Hilton in 2011.

Here’s what I wrote about Machete Order two years ago: It’s called Machete Order, and it’s an approach I’ve advocated in the past. If you’re introducing someone to Star Wars for the first time, that’s definitely not the best way to do it, lest Jar-Jar forever ruin the saga for them. But then you’re mucking through the prequels before you get to any of the really good stuff. You could also do order-of-storyline, which looks like this: I, II, III, Rogue One, IV, V, VI, VII. MORE How Rogue One Fits Into the Star Wars Timeline That makes sense because it’s the same experience you would’ve gotten if you were around when the whole Star Wars thing started in ’77.

You could follow the order-of-theatrical-release that I just outlined above. Clearly there are plenty of ways to go about this.
