Ruff and his Girlfriend are going to start blind reacting to all of Star Wars. Should they watch in release order or canonical order?

You really should watch them in release order. The thing is, the prequels were made 20 years after the original series and are very much written with the assumption that the viewer is already familiar with the original series. They build on the story of the original series and mostly exist to fill in gaps and answer questions people had about the original trilogy.

The movies work better in release order. The prequels assume the viewer is already familiar with the setting.

That's awesome, have a good day guys!

Either is perfectly fine, you'll get the story regardless. I do not have a source to cite, but I do know George Lucas wanted them to watched 1-6, with the prequels first after he made them. That doesn't make it right, but if that helps decision making there you go

Can't wait! Really hope you guys do release order tho, chronological makes sense but movie quality wise I think release is better.

Awesome! When you say all of Star Wars, does that mean the cartoons as well? Or just the movies?

Gavynnnnn

Canonical order. You’ll appreciate the original trilogy a lot more with the prequels to compare them to, and honestly you’ll enjoy the prequels a lot more without the originals to compare to.

Release order is the only correct order. This is the one part of Star Wars where I will be elitist.

I watched them in Canonical order and I am voting for Release Order. The Original trilogy is better for it.

I'm a fan of Machete Order 4,5,1,2,3,6,7,8,9 but Release is also good

A lil frickin' guy

I'll vote for release order because while totally hilarious, the prequels might not be the best place to start fresh

William Timmins

That's a REALLY good question. huh. Personally I don't find it confusing to start in the middle and then watch prequels, so... I'm going to vote release order. But either is fine.

Machete order.

Samuel Avetisyan

i watched them in Canonical Order, i and enjoyed it alot

Ana Mony

it could be great if u include the series and cartoons but i get it's a lot

Canonical release is the correct way according to George Lucas himself.

Either way it's fine I guess, although it would be AMAZING if they could also react to the animated and live-action shows alongside the movies. But if I had to pick one option, I'd say that release order it's the best way to go, i say that because the original trilogy gives a more digestible and easy to follow story to introduce you to the Star Wars Franchise. If you start with the Prequel Trilogy you are definitely gonna miss some of the concepts and themes the first time you watch them.

100% Release Order. Yeah the Prequels are the chronological start of the story, but they were made with the knowledge that people were familiar with the Original Trilogy. Watching Chronological you've suddenly got a bunch of extra concepts layered on top of knowledge you'd only have from the original films. Makes the Prequels a lot harder to watch.

I'm a little confused on the question, do you mean just the movies, shows, or both. If it's both, then I would suggest the canonical order. If it's just the movies, then either is fine. If it is just the shows, then canonical.

LoneCourier21

Canonical please. The hype builds across all movies that way instead of peaking and troughing movie by movie.

Khaled A

Machete order

KrakenKing

Will this include EVERYTHING or just the movies? Cause if it isn’t everything then I’ll be disappointed

Matt R

if it’s movies you have to do release, otherwise i wouldn’t mind release order, i think most people are assuming it’s everything so they’ve put canonical

Marv

Release, there are certain reveals that will be spoiled if its watched in timeline order.
