I Watch Star Wars in This Order

There is much debate how to watch the Star Wars Movies, and like everyone else I have mine.

THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY

Star Wars: A New Hope Episode IV (1977)

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Episode V (1980)

Star Wars: Return of The Jedi Episode VI (1983)

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

THE PREQUEL TRILOGY

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Episode I (1999)

Star Wars: Attack of The Clones Episode II (2002)

Star Wars: Revenge of The Sith Episode III (2005)

THE NEW TRILOGY

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Episode VII (2015)

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Episode VIII (2017)

At This time the 3rd movie will not be released till 2019


MY REASON

For me I have to watch the heart of the story that beckons the questions of how did Darth Vader become who he is, How did the twins get separated? And where did Han Solo come From? What Sacrifices where made to get the Death Star Plans? Yes I have watched the movies many times. But watching the movies in that order rekindles the magic of the Star Wars franchise. By not watching them in order it provides space to enjoy the time line. You feel like you have lived it with you heroes. To watch the movies in order just rushes the experience.

Many fans are upset with the new movies, but I am not that judgmental with the new movies. We can't dictate how the movies should go. Yes, I understand the fans wanted it to go another way. But our original heroes have got older and can't be the same as we knew them forty years ago. They are not bad movies. They are very well made so get over it and let the saga continue.
