Hello guys, 

I read all your comments and I don't know if I completely ruined the saga but definitely a majority of people are not happy with the order I decided to follow.

My idea was to watch it in release order but a lot of people said I wasn't understanding the story and suggested this order to help fill up the gaps. The supposed order to watch was: 4,5,2,3,1(or disregard 1 completely),6,7,8,9, rogue one. 

How could I fix it for you guys?

Star Wars is trash. You can skip it. 😉

Adrian

Absolutely release order, the way it naturally was experienced originally.

Phillip Goad

I would continue on the way you are. Outside of one scene Episode 1 is skippable to the overall story.

Brandon Tracy-Hurst

You didn't ruin it just added to the confusion and questions that you already had from the original trilogy

Do something else with your time. Anything at all. Plant a tree. Read a book. Fix the broken shingle on your roof. Learn Spanish. Live.

matt Henning

You need to do the order of release up to the first 6. So 456,123. You could watch Rogue One here if youd like at the end of 3. Then 789.

Just keep on going to episode 3. At this point with how ur reacting, the end of episode 3 will be a tremendous surprise. Episode 1 is just finding Ani and him being a kid. Episode 2 and 3 r most important.

JAMFAM2428

Seriously just go to episode 3. Don't look it up or do ur research. Just go to episode 3

JAMFAM2428

If u watch episode 6 it will ruin wat u don't know.

Jacowab

Episode 6 would probably be the best just to finish off the original trilogy, people get mad about watch order but most of the people who suggest weird watch orders have already seen the series like 3+ times

MRLBOYD

The problem here is I can't unwatch 2. So 1 now?

MRLBOYD

But that is impossible now. I already watched 2

Meredith Miller

I guess 1 then. As close to the release order as you can. It explains things in time

Ian O’Brien

Just watch 6 now. Then watch 1 after then maybe a review of 2 if you forget then 3

MRLBOYD

I was going to watch 6 after watching the prequels first 4,5,2,3,6,7,8,9, is that ok?

Ian O’Brien

If that isn’t confusing you more than you maybe 😂

JAMFAM2428

Perfect. I highly recommend u go that way and don't look to much more into it. Hope no one has spoiled anything

Mr. Lamb

I can appreciate the machete method of watching the films but for the first viewing I'd still with the traditional order of release. Episode 1 is awful but it's still part of the series. That said, it's your channel. Do what you gonna do.

Lucas Roberts

You still need to watch episode 1. Watch it next, then do 3, then 6-9. Rogue One would be the only spin off movie that’s worth watching, and it technically fits in right after 3.

JAMFAM2428

He doesn't know who Ani is. Episode 6 will ruin it better to find out at end of Episode 3. how know else can see that is beyond me

Alejandro Rosiles

People keep saying different orders, but the optimal order is 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6 for someone who has never seen star wars before. All big reveals are set up to not spoil the others until the right time. I'd say at this point going to 3, but doing 1 for contents sake.

Matthew Langley

I really really don't understand the Machete order, definitely watch them in release order. The prequels are bad, especially episode 1, but for the lore it's worth watching. The best content is really the TV shows like Clone Wars, Rebels, Andor, The Mandalarion, etc... also the game the Knights of the Old Republic.

Brandon Tracy-Hurst

Maybe wait to release on YouTube in the correct order. Cause they will freak out much more than the people who already like you enough to pay lol

MRLBOYD

I'm not doing TV shows for now. Maybe in the future but it is not possible while I do GOT

MRLBOYD

Will my commentary in episode 2 make sense?

Brandon Tracy-Hurst

Oh true you're right that would throw a wrench in it as well. Drown out the noise your insightful reactions are great and I like how you care about the missing details even if it does affect your experience.

Brandon Tracy-Hurst

Whichever way you go is fine at this point. 1 will help you understand relationships and state of the galaxy before the empire better. 3 is great always and I don't think waiting for 6 is a terrible idea since you skipped already. Had you done 1 before 2 and kept same order I think it would be very interesting.

Shawn Leaf

If go with release schedule.. finish the original trilogy with return of the Jedi next, then episode 1

Matthew Langley

Yeah, totally get it, GOT is probably one of the best TV shows ever IMHO, especially the shear quality of acting, writing, costumes, etc, all of it. Btw it's not a big deal you jumped to II, I'd say just continue the original release order. The release order will feel the most natural since that was how the story was created, the continuity of filming styles and effects (just be prepared for it to take a dive after the original 3).

Call me Lilly, Lilith if ya Nasty.

Episode I *can* be a bit goofy, but I can guarantee EVERYONE who says 'skip Episode I' has already seen Episode I and didn't personally like it... and went forward taking for granted all the added context they picked-up from having watched Episode I that someone who is actually going-in blind would not have.

Call me Lilly, Lilith if ya Nasty.

Go ahead and see Episode I and get it out of the way. I recommend watching Rogue One after Episode 3, not after Episode 9 as suggested which completely boggles me. Rogue One is another prequel story set between Episode 3 and Episode 4 in the in-universe timeline and featuring a new set of characters giving you a good view into the world of Star Wars both specifically what living under 'THE EMPIRE' is like and generally what living in this universe is like for people who aren't the main protagonists we've already met.

Riley

That is still the craziest order ever... if you are gonna watch them, go 456,123,789... 45231(0)6789 is the most insane order I've ever heard. Episode 1 is fantastic if you understand the context of 456.

James Sipler

After reading the comments on star wars 2 the attack of the clones i was a bit ashamed of some of my fellow Patreon members... they reallly went at you hard, some of them anyway. know this brother... we will wtach anything you put out in whatever order. we are here because we love your unique insight to these movies, and shows. Just be you, thats why we are here.

Reader Of Threads

Release order. Just carry on like nothing happened. No harm done.

Mike

Release order please, sir.

Maryanne Murphy

First world problems, go in the order of release and if the fanatics want to froth at the mouth than so be it.

Brendon

I think for a more logical mind like you seem to have canonical order would probably be best. Also depends if you intend to watch the TV shows and spin off movies like Andor and Solo. I aree with watching 1 then 3 next but as others have stated watch rogue one after 3.

Bill Shields

We all saw star wars in the order of 4,5,6. Then 1,2,3. That's when they were released. I don't really understand why people are flipping out over the order of the series. Watch what you want to watch in the order you want to watch it. Your reactions are the most knowledgeable and sincere I have ever seen. I would have watched your videos of you went backwards on GOT.

D Montano

May as well just finish out like this since you already started.

Silmoheru Rosaslie

I know i will not watch untill 6 and 1 have been reacted to

Zach Greenleaf

Considering that the poll is basically split 50/50 I’d say either go to Ep. 1 next or follow what most ppl who want you to return to the release order have said here. The ppl who voted for you to just continue as is clearly don’t care at all what order you watch in and if you follow their desire you’ll continue to upset everyone else. In other words, I vote for a return to the status quo watch order. Love your reactions my dude!

Ashley

You gotta watch 1. I mean the hacksaw order or whatever is fine if its 45,123,6 for a first time viewer.

skrelle

Id say watch it however you want, but in reality it was released in a certain order so why change that order, it doesnt really change the story, just at what time you realize certain things. 1-3 is really about understanding how we got to 4-6.

TigerMyth

All of us Elder Folks somehow survived watching 4,5,6,1,2,3. I think the original release order was fine. Having questions isn't problematic. In fact having the questions without the backstory is half of the fun.

AmbularD

Watch them in any order you choose. It's like a choose your own adventure book!

Nate Terry

You haven't been listening to master Yoda lol? "Jedi use the force for knowledge and defense, never attack." They are very "monk-ish." You, mrlboyd, would definitely be a SITH using the force to move houses out of your path lol! I recommend you listen to Yoda in further dialogue if you want to understand jedi/SITH ideology.

RingWorldDerek

Episode 1 isn't that bad and it has some amazing music and key world building. You're doing yourself a disservice by not watching it.

Soul Fist

123 happens before 456 but the oriental original trilogy is released first for a reason. You're supposed to have questions. Like who is darth vader? How did he get this way.

Justin Inbegriff

episode one is disliked because old star wars nerds wanted the space opera epic that the old trilogy was and didnt get it. they got something a little more modernized without bastardizing the entire premise that they claim it did, it did a good job of fleshing out the universe and giving backstory that makes everything tie together a little better. episode one was my first star wars and first movie i saw in theaters so im a little biased too, but i collectively love the series. episode 1 had some less strong moments but at the same time it had some hard hitters. also definitely watch rogue one, the first half feels a little slow (kinda like an rpg video game building the scene) but it kicks off real quick

CynicalDruid

I feel you completely ruined it with this machete thing you did and i was so excitedwhen you said you were going to watch it. I can't even watch these reactions. That was the most ILLOGICAL decision ever made
