George Lukas never intended this movie would be a series. His intention was to pay homage to the old serials that he watched in theaters in the 1940s and 50s. as a child. like flash gordon or superman, short movies shown with the main feature plus cartoons. usually the flash gordon episode would be ep. 4 then end on a cliffhanger so you would come back next week for ep. 5. however the nerds of the time, the 1970s, insisted that George Lukas continue the story.

OK Biss let me start by saying I grew up with these movies, I saw the SW a new hope episode 4 in the theaters when I was a kid. These movies (all 9 of them) mean a lot to me. So my opinion is to watch them in the order they were released starting with 4 5 and 6. Then 1. 2 and 3. Finishing up with 7 8 and 9. I Hope you can trust my opinion on this. Please enjoy the movies however u decide to watch. Thank you

First of all, you have to ignore all the idiots that will come in your comments not matter how you choose and will spam you for your wrong decision, the Star Wars crowd is very passioned, but there is no wrong or right. If you want to see the story from the beginning to end in a straight line, go with 1-3, then 4- and so on. Be advised that it could feel strange since you watch the never versions first and switch back to 1977 film material in 4-6 and back to high qual CGI in 7-9. If you want to see the movies as George Lucas intended them to watch , you'd go with 4-6 and then 1-3. Personally I do a rewatch every 2y or so with my fam and we go the 4-6 and then 1-3 route, but to be honest, it's just a preference. There is no correct order, go 1-9 for consistent story or the other route for the directors vision

PS: just talked with two colleagues, who watched SW with their significant other for the first time, both wives gave the response that they had problems to follow the story while starting with 4-6 and then 1-3, so they restarted and watched 1-9 and were fine. Whatever that means for you, but just so you have heard (the SW aint complex or smth, but still)

You can honestly watch it in both order, nothing will be weird or wrong story wise, also like gm said if you go for the 123456, you will jump from a movie from 2000s to a movie from 1980s , i should add that for yt there will probably be more haterz if you go 123456, fanatics can be dumb as fck

I say do 1-2-3 then 4-5-6 because thats the correct story flow. I get the idea of watching 4-5-6 then going back for 1-2-3 but if i knew beforehand how the story goes i would always choose 1-2-3-4-5-6. I personally prefer in the order because i prefer watching the story develop rather than watching how it ends then going back for how it started

4-5-6-1-2-3-7-8-9 Even though the continuity is broken, starting with 4-5-6 is best for a first watch since the creator assumed you wouldn't be familiar with some things that watching 1-2-3 would reveal. IMO

7 - 4 - 5 - 3— rest are ehhh Then watch all the family guy parodies 4 5 6 which are hilarious
