Joey

Holy shit lets fucking goo 😤😤😤

Oliver

Hooooooolyyyy shiiiit

DRIP DROP

Noooooo why would you do this firsttttttttttt. Release is how it should be watched but oh well 🤷 im here for it

Oliver

I dont belive my eyes

Henry Valdivia

Holy hell!!! What a surprise for me!

Jackhammer

Please watch the movie Scent of a Woman (1992). You will really like it.

deific

Yeah, super curious if they're just that oblivious or if someone actually suggested this. Oh well I guess

Paul

Holy crap Star wars begins!!

Kirill D.

Have you guys seen the original trilogy? If not you should have watched it in release order.

Kevin C

The best way to watch Star Wars is in release order but oh well. I will still be here for the ride.

Louis

Wait. Please tell me they aren’t watching this chronologically 😬

Farbod

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Josh Gibson

Ahh, I am a strong advocate for watching them in release order so episode IV, V, VI first then episode I II and III. Having said that it’s going to be really interesting watching you react to them in chronological order, and see how your opinion forms as a result. I guess it’s kind of fitting, seeing as I discovered this channel because you were watching House of the Dragon before you watched Game of Thrones, and I was really fascinated to see if HOTD set the world up sufficiently for people who hadn’t watched GOT

DRIP DROP

Completely undermines a certain event.. I know some people were arguing for chrono so I think they got input

DRIP DROP

Yup FACTS the way Lucas intended and how the whole world experienced it

Alex

Should have done 'The Machete Order' for Star Wars.

Richard Ramirez

Ohhh nooo.. they are watching it chronologically... 😭😭 there were literally Noone to tell them to start with the older ones first in release order!? 🙄

DRIP DROP

Watching 4, 5 and 6 is the whole reason we were invested in 1, 2 and 3.

Louis

The problem with chronological order is that a lot of tension and reveals later on the story will fall flat because you will already have information. Moments won’t feel so dramatic. Just my opinion

DRIP DROP

Think they listened to the wrong people 🤣

Cinemaslave

OH NO!!! 😩😬 You guys are going to ruin your Starwars experience doing it this way. Yikes!

Kevin C

I recommend you guys watch episode 4, 5, 6 after this. It’s not too late.

Elora D. Dragneel

Excited to watch this with you guys later. Super interesting decision to start in chronological order, but I'm here for it!

Farbod

Everyone complaining about chrono order... please put your tears in my coffee mug. Thanks.

Christopher

Unfortunate to be watching in chronological order, it is

Cinemaslave

Thats right it isn’t too late to start in order of release. IV, V, VI

Dale Hankinson

Feel like Episode 3 just wont hit the same if you haven't seen 4,5,6 before hand.

Seán

How did he intend it that way if he named them ep 1,2,3? He has advocated that it should be chrono and that the only reason he done 4 first was the technology didn’t exist in 1970’s

o.o

lol womp womp

Jamie Neill

Awesome - just finished your Harry Potter reactions & was wondering about SW! It’s iconic - one of the most top tier fights in movie history. But I’d totally recommend 4-6 first then 1-3, then 7-9 & Rogue One, although it’s perhaps too late. Please do Rogue One after 1-6 have all been seen as it hits harder,

Farbod

They are doing 1-3, RO, 4-6, Solo, 7-9

Richard Ramirez

I think maybe they just saw the numbers 1 2 3 and didnt even check the dates😀😀🤣🤣 well they gonna be in for a surprise in quality 😀🤣🤣🤣

DRIP DROP

I dont care its how it came out. He started it ep 4 to avoid all the politics and immerse you in the universe

AlohaMrHand

Nooo this has to be release order

DRIP DROP

We down bad AlohaMrHand, we down bad

Cinemaslave

Idk why you guys decided to get cute with this and start Starwars this way? You want to experience Starwars the way all Starwars fans experienced the movies, story, and characters. Not like this. The impact of the characters and story will be diluted. 😬

Farbod

LOL.... No it wont.

Hefty517

I’ve never been more curious in a reaction. Work can’t end soon enough.

Cinemaslave

Watching the original trilogy (Episodes IV, V, VI) preserves major plot twists, avoids spoilers, and aligns with how the story was designed to be experienced.

Farbod

No. They arent oblivious. It was a 2 year discussion. We won.

Kelschman

FINALLY! If anyone spoils them I will start a riot

Felix Hayoz

harry potter dies in the second star wars film :)

Jamie Neill

Can someone in the know not encourage release order, or at least Rogue One after 4. That’s how it’s intended for sure. That’s the best viewing order but also good for the viewers - their reactions will be far better. I’m delighted either way but just know these movies inside out.

Kelschman

I watched in release order, but after showing multiple people the movies in chronological order, I personally think its the better order

Nathan Jasper

I would recommend the Clone Wars show, however I know that's a huge undertaking. But there's a lot in Clone Wars that sets up Mandalorian and later shows.

Cinemaslave

That’s because you already knew what was going to happen

Farbod

Its better. Nostalgia blinds people.

Kelschman

The people I showed didnt? And they loved it

Kirill D.

Yep, the hit of ep.3 finnale won't be as inpactful, imho.

Farbod

Keep repeating yourself over and over. See if it changes anything.

Estevan Rivera

Weird order but still here for it!! I hope the fanbase doesn't ruin it for you

Cinemaslave

They loved it that way because they didn’t know any better.

Kelschman

I think they are wonderful viewed in either order, but by all means, be negative

Farbod

For real man. Your complaining is getting annoying now.

Hans Engelen

OMG ... HOLD THE DAMN PHONE ... When did this happen ?

Tsadok

LET'S GO !!!! So Excited ! thanks for this

AlohaMrHand

After all the is time waiting for the series and to not ask the community how to start. Crazy

Pablo

The impact of the original trilogy will be lessen by watching the prequels first. A lot of the mystery of the originals gets spoiled by information from the prequels, not only the big reveals but honestly the whole journey gets watered down. Also the prequels work better (if at all) if you already have watched the originals first. The prequels are not very good movies anyways, they are pretty bad but at least if you have the information from the originals and are familiar with the world you have something to hold on to. I dont see how anyone would think this is a good idea, but hey too late for that lets pray for the best.

Ricky

I somewhat agree: the release order is the way to go. But chronological order also works well. In terms of the emotional rollercoaster, I would say it's better in chronological order, considering the story ends on the not it's supposed to, unlike ending midway, with Ep. 3

Zach Greenleaf

Exciting! But after now seeing Episode 1, y'all should really consider switching to Episodes 4 and 5 before watching 2 and 3. Episode 6 can be watched either after 5 or as the last one at the end of The Machete Order (ep 4, ep 5, ep 2, ep 3, ep 6)

Ricky

Ned Stark dies on Episode 9. Wait...

Ricky

I agree it's better that way. But it's still a good and enjoyable experience this way. I just hope they get immersed in the universe regardless of the order

Jamie Neill

I’d say chronological is fine if you’ve seen all 6, as many have by the time they do that. But they probably did release first and enjoyed it the way most are suggesting here. Rogue One before episode 4 is mental as well.

Pablo

They are 2 diferent storys, watching a new hope first doesnt mean you start halfway into it, you start at the beginning of that story. And ending on ep 3 doesnt mean you left the story halfway, you just finished a 3 movie story and it was released in that order for a reason. Doing it cronologicaly, the only thing it accomplishes is make both storys less impactfull

Pablo

Of course chronological is fine if you have already watched all the movies. But they haven't.

Artanis

They are listening to how George Lucas said the movies should be watched.

Pablo

This is actually not a bad idea to fix the reactions now that they have seen episode 1 first and nothing can be done about that

Artanis

George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars and these 6 movies says this so the correct order to watch them in. I have yet to see anyone actually directly tackle his reasoning for that, people always give other arguments.

Artanis

I know plenty of people that didn't know anything about star War, not even that one big thing, that did it this way and would disagree with you. I even sat next to one of them through all of them. You are bending into mental gymnastics and all kinds of rationalizations to try and explain why others experiences directly contradict your own claims. I think that means you lost the debate. People can debate and disagree what the best order is, but to argue people are objectively wrong when the person that created the entire universe and all 6 of these films was the one to say do it this way is just absurd on its face.

Pablo

Yeah yeah im sorry but george lucas knows next to nothing about how movies work. All the good star wars stuff was always made by someone else

Farbod

LOL. You guys are ridiculous.

PatrickKello

you need to include the Kenobi series in there tbh!

Artanis

The guy that created the entire universe and all 6 of these films said this is the correct way. I also know quite a few people that experienced it this way for the firsf time. Imagine being so arrogant to say the creator of it is wrong about how they think it was designed and how it should be experienced. I find it interesting that no one that disagrees with George on this ever seems to actually tackle is core argument for why.

Artanis

I'd say it hits very hard, but in a different way, having seen people do this order in person and on reactions.

midothegreat

Already enjoy the fighting in the comments

Artanis

George Lucas says no

Jamie Neill

Reading my comment again, it isn’t obvious that my stance is to do Release order, 100%. I agree with you, and the build up to the end of III is the pay off for doing all 6.

Artanis

George Lucas, who created the entire universe and all 6 of these films I think has a pretty good idea of how he wants his story told, watched and perceived. Probably a better idea than random people, many of whom were never involved in the process and many of whom weren't even alive at the time.

Artanis

Nope. Skipping an important and foundational movie in the dual trilogy is outright retarded.

Jamie Neill

Or just passionate, invested & able to discuss movies without personal insults. What did you ‘win’ exactly? The order that paid reactors watches movies in - what an achievement. I’ll watch the reactions either way, but I know the experience is softened in a specific order. Don’t be rude & insulting. People can agree to disagree and discuss things without a problem. Grow up.

Artanis

The creator of Star wars and these 6 films disagrees. So do many people I know that have watched it this way, some reactions I've seen, some I know in person, and one I watched it all the way through with them right next to me.

Artanis

I applaud this mature and balanced response to the order.

Artanis

No one is oblivious. The guy that created the entire universe and all 6 of these films said this is the correct way. I also know quite a few people that experienced it this way for the firsf time. Imagine being so arrogant to say the creator of it is wrong about how they think it was designed and how it should be experienced, the storytelling, the important moments, the themes and messaging. It's one thing to disagree about the order, there's subjective aspects to that, but to say it's just objectively incorrect, wrong or damaging is not something that should be taken seriously. I find it interesting that no one that disagrees with George on this ever seems to actually tackle is core argument for why.

Joey

As someone who watched it in chronological order too for my first time viewing don’t let them sour people in your comments ruin it for yall 🙏

Jamie Neill

Have you watched Liteweight Reactions react to it. Far better than most, in release order. Whether George agrees or not, I could list at least 15 moments that are diluted by the order being Chrono. Which is fine if you’ve seen them all, but not for the first time. Wait for the YouTube comments - less people would be bothered if it was Release. Seeing S & P have certain things being revealed later on would’ve been better to view & enjoy, in my opinion. We are allowed to disagree.

Artanis

@Sean That not a single person in this comment section has actually tackled George Lucas' reasoning for wanting them watched in chronological order indicates they are arguing based on nostalgia or emotion and not logic.

Artanis

@Kirill I've seen people absolutely bawl and crash out over episode 3 in person and in reactions watching this order.

Seán

Yeah I agree, even disregarding George, from a reaction standpoint, and what we knew they knew about the universe, chrono is the evaluated better choice

Michael

Jar Jar is the real Sith master 😁

sebi 123

Just bought your patreon because of Star Wars! I hope there is a chance you guys will watch Clone Wars sometime.

Seán

I can see where you are coming from but I would say this, they know certain things already and with Chrono, the main stories and characters (being especially important for reactions) are preserved, with a release order watch, they know how everything turns out and are just picking up how its gonna go. And they wont know how OT goes aswell, so it preserves both orders the best

Alex

George Lucus is wrong, he had no intention of releasing the first 3. The most interesting part of the saga is 4,5,6. Hence why he made them and not the first 3. This can be saved. By doing 4 and 5 next.

Austin

This is why I've always maintained that Machete Order is the best compromise

Alex

Why did George Lucus make the original 3 first then? Because the plot twists in it are the story.

engraved

peak. just finished the vid, great reaction guys, im glad you left it until you were ready to tackle it because it felt all good vibes the whole time. can't wait for more!

Alex

Episode 1 is not foundational. It's background. The original 3 are foundational. The prequels were made because of the success.

Austin

While I do think release or machete order is the more ideal viewing experience, it's always refreshing to see a chronological reaction. It's funny because I thought maybe you guys had already seen Star Wars since it never even came into the discussion throughout the years I've been following y'all 😂

Mrbluegrand

Been waiting for this!!! So happy you enjoyed it. Actually surprised since The Phantom Menace can be a hit or miss for some. It just gets better from here! Looked over the comments after your reaction, so much discord. Even funnier seeing it after you talked about it in the reaction. You gave your reasons and they still complain. In such an uncivilized way as well. Personally saw 4,5,6 first but to me it does not matter. They are different experiences either way. Though I might be slightly biased since I prefer the prequels, 2 and 3 especially. Anyway good to be back for this.

Taneli

Fun reaction, loved the good vibe!

Ricky

I understand your points and probably agree to an extent. One thing I completely disagree tho, is that these are two stories. It’s all one story divided by two segments

Keith Baley

Where's the condensed version? It showed up in my notifications, I had to pause it, and I can't find it anymore 😪

Farbod

Such a good vibe!

Hans Engelen

Kinda thinking this way might be better, but let's see.

💜 Hannah 💜

Love that your starting Star Wars Epic Journey!! Who's got more of the force Pudgey or Spartan 🤣

o.o (edited)

Comment edits

2026-10-19 20:00 So mad they started with episode 1 that I’m unsubbing 😂
2026-03-12 23:21

Mrbluegrand

😂 I think Pudgey is stronger with the force but Spartan is more skilled with a lightsaber.

Sonny Boy

“ george lucas knows next to nothing about how movies work” lol i think he might know a thing or two. Probably more than us

MrMoleHole

Well the creator is wrong.

Paul

The order controversy amuses me, all I really care about is they get to experience it for the first time, and we get to experience it with them.

MrMoleHole

how he wants his story told isnt necessarily the best way to tell a story

Artanis

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Artanis

I can see the reasoning behind several different orders but cutting out Episode 1 is something I've just never been able to be convinced by that. Is it an uneven film with some issues. Sure. But the important things, and the good, outweigh the bad multiple times over imho.

Austin

Huh I didn't know Phantom Menace was meant to be excluded from Machete order. Every Machete order reaction I've seen included it.

Sharpgirl

Comment reading while having the morning coffee is brilliant

TalbertInc

… What are you expecting people to respond to, you have provided no reasoning, all you’ve said is “the creator said so” over and over and over again. Multiple people have pointed out multiple reasons, “the impact of the OT will be lessened… a lot of the mystery of the OT gets spoiled… the prequels work better if you have watch the OT” “the whole reason we have the prequels is because of the foundation the OT set” “watching OT first preserves major plot twists” “the problem with chrono order is that a lot of tension reveals later on the story will fall flat… moments wont feel so dramatic” EDIT: is it just me or did they delete their comment? Artanis literally just could’ve provided Lucas’ argument and saved this whole back and forth lol.

TalbertInc

All of what I just listed from others in this comment section is more substantive than “the creator said so.”

Farbod

*wave*

David Cansler

Nooooooooo. Should have watched in the order that they came out. Oh well, looking forward to all the Star Wars reactions.

Artanis

I'm guessing it's because it's hard to convince people that don't know Star Wars to skip a whole movie especially if it's called episode 1. I still can't wrap my head around excluding it as a fan.

Cody Dowd

thats not the only reason. he was majorly held back by technology in the OT. I love the OT and experienced it that way growing up, but those movies are so outdated in nearly every way, and i watch them every year, love them, but the action scenes are way too outdated for this time frame in star wars. the republic, the clone wars, all of that is not possible in the OT due to technological setbacks of the time. sure, theres story points that dont hit the same this way, theres also story points that dont hit the same if u watch the OT first. George wanted this to be his story, start to finish, its his story, if you wanna start with the OT story, thats fine but yall need to quit acting like doing it GEORGE LUCAS' way is objectively wrong. its wildly childish. Before my dad passed he was the biggest star wars nerd, grew up on the OT and loved all 6 movies. he agreed that 1-6 chronological made the most sense to him, he loved those movies with all his heart and he's just wrong bc yall say so? lame. let everyone enjoy it however they want. TLDR: yall needa quit crying about the order. george wanted it this way.

Cody Dowd

they asked the community for years and debated for years. they decided this way. i would recommend this way personally too and ive loved all 6 for my whole life. watched OT first.

Alex

You don't exclude it. You treat lt ike Rogue One or Solo., side story

TalbertInc

…? What is Lucas reasoning???? You have not made any argument here, i have no idea what his reasoning is because you haven’t provided it lmao. Are you crazy or something right now? What is this? All I have to go on from you is “the creator said so.” You haven’t provided anything for anyone to respond to other than “well I disagree with the creator then” since all you’ve made an argument for is that “the creator said so”

Artanis

Alex one cares that you think he is wrong. People think people are wrong about things all the time. Sometimes they are idiots. EXPLAIN Why. Be specific, directly tackle the argument George Lucas made which you probably haven't even read. Your words are not those of God, people aren't going to accept your position just because you stated it. He has made it clear this is his position and he has explained his reasoning. His reasoning has nothing to do with what you just said. I wish, just once, one of you would directly and specifically tackle George's explanation for this preference, but not a single person does. Your argument even contradicts statements he has made both recently and many years ago. There's other channels and people that have watched in this rider and they enjoyed it and it was successful. Nothing needs to be fixed or saved and it's wild to think they would change course at this point.

DRIP DROP

We should have just started with rise of Skywalker

EnVy316LeGeNd

if you've never seen it, this is the order you should watch.

Alex

Who cares about technology though, its about character arc's. There is no doubt in my mind that the machete order as a continuous Star Wars story arc is by far the best. It actually flows beautifully. I enjoy the first 3 also, i'm not a diehard on the originals. But purely from story telling pov, the Phantom Menace doesn't add anything. If you treat it like Rogue One and Solo, as side stories. It's fine. PS. You need to stop projecting that other people who are disagreeing strongly about the order are actually crying or angry about it. It's just voicing an opinion. We're still gonna watch the reactions.

TalbertInc

How are you mad that people can’t respond to something you arent providing lmfao. It’s not on me to provide you an argument, if you can’t make the argument then what is all the bitching about?

TalbertInc

You know you’re the toxic fan right now, right? You’re going “GEORGE SAID SO AND IF YOU DISAGREE YOURE DUMB AND IF YOU DONT ALREADY KNOW OR GO LOOK IT UP YOURSELF TO GET YOUR OPINION FROM HIM THEN YOURE A FUCKING JOKE” lol

Cinemaslave

Which side will they chose? Who’s more likely to be pulled to the Dark side, Spartan or Pudgey? 😂

AlohaMrHand

I was initially upset with the watch order but you guys have already caught onto so many plot points and major themes that I'm more excited than I would have been otherwise. Great job!

TalbertInc

I literally never said he was wrong lmao

Alex

George Lucas has said several different things in interviews regarding it. So i'm not sure what you're alluding to tbh. He seemingly contradicted himself and changed position on some of it. And you have to remember that Lucas had no idea that there would be any other films. He released what he thought was the important part of Stars as the original 3.

Artanis

Glad to see this flexible viewpoint. I was super against this order for decades but I have seen enough first timers do it and that and George Lucas' own argument convinced me both are equally valid orders.

TalbertInc

Read who I am you petulant child, my account never typed the words ‘George Lucas is wrong’

TalbertInc

How about you grow the fuck up and realize my account is not “MrMoleHole” you fucking retard

Alex

😂

Dylon

I love the decision to watch in chronological order. I’ve always said I wanted to watch the movies like this and never have. Now I will! People are overreacting too much which is not uncommon with the Star Wars fanbase lol I’m hoping they watch Rogue One before episode 4!

TalbertInc

MrMoleHole ≠ TalberInc, just in case reading comprehension is hard

Ricky

Just finished watching. Great to see you guys enjoying the movie so much. You will absolutely love the whole series if you enjoyed this so much.

Ricky

Ngl this reaction is crazy 😂 the internet is a hell of a place

Artanis

The interesting thing is there's a lot of kids out there now, whose first experience with star wars will be the Cline wars animated series or rebels, and then seeing the movies, in either prequel or release. I know because my friends kids are all doing this stuff. They tell me about it. There will probably be a sizeable portion of them that think it would be silly to watch the prequels before the Clone wars animated show because it adds and fills in so much, including some pretty huge stuff and contexfualizes episode 3 far better according to most fans. It's just some food for thought for the folks saying release order is the only way.

Artanis

That's what is called expanded machete order. The original creator of Machete, Rod, excluded it, for a few reasons that I won't list here because can be spoilery.

MajinVegeta420

You asked for suggestions - The Clone Wars Show is one of the Goat's if not THE Goat in terms of the shows and universe lore/lore in general.

Shabby

the little pony tail that obi wan had and then anakin at that end means they are an apprentice, little thing but not implicitly mentioned in the film

Wes

Darth is a title that’s used by Sith Lords who fully embrace the dark side. Also an interesting note is that Sith Lords use red sabers so you don’t really refer to them as light sabers technically. Theirs is pretty unique in that philosophically it represents hatred, and so the dark side power bleeds into to the lightsaber making it red.

Matt

Please watch The Clone Wars series at some point, arguably the best part of Star Wars universe, and just a great show in general.

Christopher

Jar Jar is the key to all of this

Pinoto

Spartan, please read this, it is important. This is the best reaction to this movie by newcomers I have ever seen, and I've seen many. Thank you for this surprise! Also as important. Not spoiling anything or answering your questions promise promise. Darth Maul, the Sith that fought Qui-Gonn, is one of the best lightsaber users during this time period, he would be a serious threat to most of the jedi council one on one and he was holding his own against both, and Obi-Wan is also an excellent lightsaber user for a jedi his age, although more in a defensive focused lightsaber form. (There are 7 lightsaber forms like martial art moves sets good at different things) but with the saber. Darth Maul was also using a two sided lightsaber, this is not a common weapon at all. It is hard to learn and he has mastered it. They don't have as much experience or training dealing with it. I say all of this to drive home that Qui-Gonn went out abruptly but he was an absolute beast in this fight by Star Wars standards. Many would not last that long against Maul one on one. I am glad you loved Qui-Gonn , he is one of my favorites. So excited to see the next one!

James Waters

This is the first time I have ever seen someone watch this in chronology order rather than release order. You are watching the way George Lucas intended. Can't wait to see you experience this universe. For my own part I can't remember a time when I wasn't a star wars fan, and now my favourite reactors are watching it. Mental.

Farbod

Its a great reaction. Enjoy!

Tru 187

Darth Jar Jar

Veilsix

I can't believe it's actually happening! You caught a glimpse of it already but Obi-Wan Kenobi is considered the best living natural lightsaber fighter of his time. Jedi's have varied strengths and are gifted in different ways by the Force, some stronger than others in particular aspects. So anyone training from Obi Wan will have an exceptional duelist to learn from and be stronger for it. Anakin for his part is considered to be the strongest raw Force user which allows him to have such strong reflexes as you witnessed and Qui Gon explained as to his ability to see things before they happen. This is a strong theme in Anakin's path as a Jedi. Ps Keira Knigtley is Elizabeth Swann/Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean. Queen Amidala is played by Natalie Portman lmao. Pudgey you really are the worst. So much respect to Spartan for not throwing you in the bin at least once a day. The patience of a Jedi this man has. It's important that Jedi knights are chosen early so they do not have connections that influence their emotions. It's important they don't have potential influence to use their powers for selfish reasons as sad and lonely as it may seem. A Sith Lord is the parallel to a Jedi Master. "Darth" is a title given to Sith when they are renamed-reborn as Sith. Think of it like a knight being a "Ser". It's the name they operate in the shadows under and the persona they give up their lives for. Always a blast you guys. Cant wait for the next one.

Spartan has more midi chlorians rub off on his toilet paper than Pudgey will ever encounter in her entire life

MrMoleHole

Was there ever a poll done for whether it should be watched chrono or not? not everyone is in on the suppsoed debate and discussion that was being had about this for years, not everyone uses discord.

DRIP DROP

There definitely wasn't a poll because watching chronological is not the majority view

Mrbluegrand

Drip Drop How are you so certain? Did you ask everyone? Did you make your own poll that no one saw? In the end its S&P decision. Stop being so butthurt, they gave their reasons and thoughts about it.

Elliot

Everything S&P know about star wars isnt in these movies they are watching first lol.

Bartleby

Settle down. They’ve already started and plenty of new people watch it in this chronological order

Bartleby

FYI Once you post those to YouTube, there absolutely will be people dropping spoilers in the comments. That definitely will happen The fans can’t help themselves

spartanandpudgey

wow thanks you nick! so glad you enjoyed it. here's to many more!

James Waters

A core memory of mine as a kid is watching the opening crawl and my grandad telling me to look behind the TV to see where the words went lol

Elora D. Dragneel

Lol I love how pudgey thought Natalie Portman was Kiera Knightley...when Kiera Knightley was actually playing the decoy queen. Natalie was 16 y/o playing as a 14 y/o and Keira was 12 years old at time of filming. TWELVE! Great reaction as always!

Louis

I thought that was funny too. She mixed up the actress with the actress who was actually playing the decoy hehe

Louis

Yeah. one of the biggest reveals in cinematic history happens in the original trilogy. When we get to that part, its not going to hit at all

Fictional

It is genuinely impossible for me to imagine caring about chronological order vs. release order. Just gonna be fun to see you guys experience this!

James Waters

Last comment I promise, just a fun fact. They released the soundtrack for this episode before the movie was released, and one of the tracks was titled “Qui-Gon’s death”, so a bunch of people were spoiled. Just thought it was a funny tidbit I can guarantee I’m gonna plague these comment sections i bloody love the original Star Wars saga

DRIP DROP

For first time viewers its the more popular suggestion 🤡 Read some ai Overall, though, release order edges out as more commonly preferred and "popular" in fan advice, polls-ish discussions on Reddit, and articles (e.g., ScreenRant explicitly concludes release > chronological for most cases). Chronological often gets described as better after you've seen release order once.Other variants like Machete Order (IV-V-II-III-VI, skipping I) pop up in debates but aren't as mainstream.If you're introducing someone new, most fans say go release order first—it's the one that built the franchise's legacy. For binge rewatches with everything, chronological gains traction. What are you planning—first watch or full marathon?

Artanis

I wouldn't say he's considered the best of his time if we are being technical about it based on what's been officially stated in the films or outside them, but he's definitely in the top most category without question and particularly excels at defensive lightsaber technique, which also helps equalize him to opponents others may struggle with more.

DRIP DROP

The real ones dont unsub 🤣

Dirk Diggler

this is not the way George Lucas intended, lol.

Dirk Diggler

I don't mind that you are doing it in chronological order as member of this channel. However, for your sake, I would never suggest doing this. The Original Trilogy is now going to seem dated and slow.

flink

At first, I was skeptical about chronological versus original release, and while the reveals most folks are thinking of will be spoiled automatically, S&P will get to experience reveals in the first 3 movies that I couldn’t have because I was so familiar with the originals. So, I’m actually very excited to see them watch this in chronological order as their first experience. I mean, after watching this with them, as much as I hate JJB, I found myself enjoying him more because S&P did! If I am not mistaken, they did watch the first season of HOTD before GOT and it worked beautifully for their reactions to both series. Chronological order all the way! Let’s go!!!!

Watchingbob

Stopped what I was doing last night as soon as this dropped 😂 i assumed you'd guys had already seen SW hence why it hasnt come up yet after LoTR and HP. At first I was instinctively thinking 'hmm not sure about chrono for first time' but all that faded 15 minutes in, just seeing you guys enjoy yourselves and go along for the ride. Made me realise in fandoms we can sometimes but uptight and protective...but seeing you guys here, theres no bad way to enjoy star wars! I adore the OT and the prequels so much. This was an awesome reaction and I cant wait to join you on this amazing journey!

Mrbluegrand

"Read some ai" Lmao. And again just listing things with no actual backing (ScreenRant really? XD ). Yes a big part of the fandom do agree with you, but the "MAJORITY" don't know about that. And even if the majority actually does prefer the release order it still does not change that its their choice. Your experience with the movie order is all you think about not that they might enjoy their experience with their chosen order. Your nostalgia blinds you. And if we're gonna talk about real fans then the movies don't cut it on their own anyway. Being opposed/having a different opinion is one thing, but your "crusading" and overall behavior, this isn't it you need help.

Mrbluegrand

DRIP DROP why you gotta be such a little tic? You certainly aren't a "real one" since you don't accept S&P verdict and also agreeing to just plain rude posts calling them oblivious.

Michael Weiner

I absolutely do not endorse watching the Star Wars movies in this order. Will I be watching you react to them? Damn right I will be! I will be!

Louis

Episode 5 has one of the most epic reveals in cinematic history. When they get to that part, it will be..............Meh

James Waters

It is for the original six, not necessarily the Disney stuff. Although I think what he actually said was that they’re two different experiences but episode 1 is titled episode 1 because you’re supposed to watch it first. If I remember correctly from interviews

Jamie Neill

HOTD and GOT is a little different to films with the same characters, but I’m here for the reactions either way. I was very triggered admittedly right away last night because of my passion for the saga & how I saw it…but I then remember my partner has/ is doing release order & she’s been entertained. However that has meant doing Andor & Obi Wan before Rogue One & Episode 4. I think they would add a lot of value to the whole experience, then movies 4-6. So I’ll be more open-minded & enjoy the ride.

Farbod

While this wouldnt be a bad idea for someone binging the show, watching Andor even 2x a week would take months. Just too long of a gap between films. I think watching Rogue One a second time after Andor is possible tho. A lot of channels do that.

Cooper

Don’t let anyone convince you this is the wrong way to watch it, it’s the absolute right way to watch it, the creator of Star Wars George Lucas says it himself.

Cooper

To be clear “Midichlorians” are force power POTENTIAL, so Anakins midichlorian count being over 20,000 at 10yo doesn’t mean he can beat experienced Jedi in a fight. But with training he can grow in power exponentially.

Dominic

I don't know why order bothers people it will make the originals feel more special also. Those same people will also complain about everything in the sequels when they are just fun movies. Enjoy I cant wait to watch these. And I just watched them recently too

ThePorkShire

I know I watched the original trilogy before the prequels because my dad always had them on at home but I don’t think I retained anything from them at the time. So I practically watched in 1-6 order as the prequels came to theaters.

Joseph Wells

Reaction was awesome don’t listen to the hate Star Wars fans are very passionate

DJanz

Absolutely love that you chose to watch in chronological order, kind of like with GoT/Hotd it will give a different perspective than what most people got. Things that were obvious for everyone watching the originals first will instead be major plot twists for you when watching the movies in this order, I love it and cannot comprehend why anyone wouldn't

Hank Scorpio

I'm pretty sure Mace Windu (and Dooku) are considered the best with the sabre. Obi Wan is definitely up there though.

Veilsix

Mace Windu's specialty is his ability to draw from the dark side hence his saber color mixing both sides. As for the other character you mentioned I'm not sure. I'm just going off of what the novels that were considered canon stated more than anything

BoneSaw99

Anyone that complains about order needs to chill. Watching chronologically is going to mean they miss out on some things like world building context but overall they’re still going to see everything and they’re going to be able to watch the prequels without any biases or nostalgia blinders on, so it’s an overall win-win

TimTakDoh

I know a lot of people are going on about the order to watch the movies but really, the main and ONLY thing that matters is watching Andor before Rogue One. It's a set piece really and Andor makes Rogue One movie 1000000x better and just is a masterpiece when you watch them in that order

Kiwi Tennille 🥝

I loved this reaction. It was surprisingly so cool to see you both watch this one first. I was really surprised and it makes me excited to see the reactions to the rest of the series. ✨️❤️✨️

Julien

Ugh. Deeply disappointed by the order of these. Chronological makes no sense. A story should be experiencednin the order it was told, which is the release order. And so I think our reactors were under the impression that the order is controversial. It's not. There's just a misguided but vocal minority that prefers this order and somehow they fell for it. Really unfortunate. Ah well

FenerX

absolute cinema

lackingnames

Literally only you care so much

Jonathanese

I mean I've seen a lot of reaction channels do release order. One did Machete order which was awesome. I don't think I've seen a channel do chronological order. So I'm actually really interested to see what that's like.

Jonathanese

Means the force is talking to him REALLY LOUD.

Jonathanese

I love that you guys fell into the decoy trap. I especially love that Pudgey thought Natalie Portman's character (Padme) was played by Kiera Knightly, because Kiera Knightly played her decoy. An extra W for the decoy casting. lol. But it's actually really cool seeing someone watch it in chronological order. There are some things that aren't going to hit the same. But for other things, I haven't seen a reaction channel watch in chronological order, so I have no idea how they are going to hit but they are going to hit HARD.

Jonathanese

That's a really freaking good decoy.

Travis Jones

Since you’re doing this in this way, the obiwan single season after if watched after the Solo movie will definitely add more character building for the later movies you won’t have seen. Depth that can feel wasted or not needed on those (everyone else) who already watched the films and may only see that series as interesting. For you two it will be great.

Nate Terry

I suppose from Mace Windu's(Sam L. Jackson) perspective of Anakin being too old. if you think about it, most militaries won't take ppl over a certain age...because they can't be indoctrinated(i use that word positively...not in a negative light) after a certain age.... I haven't done it in awhile, but there are some really nerdy fans with tech skills that have made some INSANE youtube videos of them and their friends having lightsaber duels and the quality is very much movie quality...the choreography of the star wars lightsaber duels is really good. Of course the GOAT John Williams did the music score you are hearing....famous for Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Jaws, Harry Potter, E.T., Home Alone, etc....lol

Tyler Janes

The funny thing is that Pudgey was semi correct The decoy: is Kierra Knightly from Pirates of the Caribbean The Queen: is Natalie Portman

FullMetal B

People definitely need to relax, this reaction was great. But it is funny to see people be like "the people who dont like chronological order need to chill cause I like chronological order so its a good thing actually" LOL

FullMetal B

Pretty sure they already said they wont be doing that soooo.

BoneSaw99

100% agreed. I don’t really think either order matters all that much. There’s pros and cons to both.

Julien

@lackingnames, yes, that must be why no one else below has complained or why the order isn't controversial at all. An extradinary dumb reply even by the standards of SW fans. Great job! 👏👍

Justin Schaller

Don’t really care about how they watched it in order as long as they do rogue one after revenge of the sith. Also never seen anyone react in this order so it will make episode 3 reaction all the more epic.

Mariam91

Omg i hope this leads to Andor because it's a literal Masterpiece 🖤

Mariam91

Came back just for star wars, thank you😍💫

💜 Hannah 💜

My name is Hannah Walker. My mum said if I was born a boy My name would have been Luke 😱 imagine how many people would have taken the piss 🤪 going to call me Luke (Sky) Walker. Thanks God I came out a girl. 🤣 Can't wait for the next one 🫡

Kelly Myers

Cannot wait for the next!

Kelly Myers

Very intriguing watching it this way... I'm interested how it will go

Cooper

That’s a great way to put it

Joel Zaborowski

Basic background lore on the Sith. No spoilers. Theyre basically the evil version of the Jedi. They can use the Force too, but they use the Dark Side. They used to be a huge Order like the Jedi, but then they changed to only being two at a time. A Master and Apprentice. All qualified Sith use the "Darth" title. So once you become a Sith, you get your Darth name.

Corné van dijke

I prefere the release order too, but this will be fine.

Corné van dijke

Then they should watch Star Wars The Clone Wars too as prequel to Solo.

Cole Troutman

tbh from a narrative perspective its better. It does make the older movies much more impactful. A lot of fans would disagree but thats just fan bias imo

Stripping Poets

Wow! I thought for sure you would have seen these!!! Dope! I have to say my piece. Clone Wars (its a cartoon) made me love this world even more. It starts off as a cute kids cartoon, but it gets really deep as it goes on. I cried at the end. Lots of people didnt' like it, but I loved it. I think you guys would too cause you guys liked Avatar, and it kinda progresses the same way. Andor was amazing too. Man, Im so excited for this! I want the actor who play Jar Jar to see how you're enjoying his character :)) Makes me so happy.

Cecilia

I think it would be really cool to see you react to Star Wars the clone wars

Veilsix

Is "today" the next one?

spartanandpudgey

Ep2 out next week! Ep1 edited released today and uncut for super soldier tier

J

Ep 3 is the best, then on to the original trilogy! Best 6 movies of all time

J

just remember Andor is a prologue to Rogue One, and Rogue One is a Prologue to the 4th movie. So it get's a bit confusing when it comes to debating what order to watch everything. 100% do the first 6 movies first, it's arguable you could slip Rogue One in after Revenge of the sith right before A New Hope. But I'd leave Andor and other shows like the Mandalorian until AFTER the main 6/7 movies :) (BTW the TV shows such as Andor and Mandalorian are more important/better than the official episodes 7/8/9. As far as that trilogy goes, it's garbage and actually goes as far as to ruining the story that comes before it in such a way that almost every star wars fan doesn't even include the new star wars movies as part of official cannon.

Danny

Yes! That was a great reaction I'm so excited to see you guys finally do it.

Garrett Serbin

Great reaction! Ppl just didn't like how much Jar Jar is in the movie. I loved him as a kid.

Josh Hargrave

The Jar Jar love is amazing lol. Glad u guys enjoyed it!

Gavin P.

OnYa guys.. Was waiting for you both to do this.. I grew up with the originals.. then Ep1,2,3 as a 19yr old.. So to see your 1st up reactions.. Solid!!!..... glad to have finally joined the Patreon famz.... Looking foward to watchin more...

Mack

When Obi Wan started his dual with Darth Maul again he did come at Maul with rage/anger which did give him more focus reflexes and light saber abilities. Darth Maul was overwhelmed by Obi Wan he did get a power boost but it's dangerous for a Jedi to fight with emotions because it can corrupt them get drunk on power because it does boost there power level. The sith are like Jedi but the Sith use emotion and power over others to dominate they are pure in those ways.

Andrew743

New sub…joined just to watch your Star Wars and walking dead uncut reactions…you guys should definitely do the Clone Wars at some point. Love from Massachusetts ❤️
