How should I watch Star Wars?

[dion09529]

Starting with Episode IV

4. A New Hope
5. The Empire Strikes Back
6. Return of the Jedi
1. The Phantom Menace
2. Attack of the Clones
3. Revenge of the Sith

or

starting with Episode I

1. The Phantom Menace
2. Attack of the Clones
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. A New Hope
5. The Empire Strikes Back
6. Return of the Jedi

[IdolEyes787]

A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and then stop.:mellow:

[Darth Sushi]

A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and then stop!

[IdolEyes787]

A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and then stop!

I was going to originally say "A New Hope and then stop" but I'm not evil like you,Count Dooku and the guy who first thought up the Ewoks.

[Cubeltd]

I agree with IdolEyes787. Just watch the old ones...

[kanine]

It'd be interesting to get the view of someone not tainted by the original trilogy to watch in the same order as theatrical release and then get them to compare notes with someone watching in the chronological sequence. The newer movies never captured the public like the originals did, but if someone has watched them in chrono order without ever seeing the originals I'd be interested in their take on the whole series.

[Vestibule]

Now that Disney owns the rights, you can be sure remakes will not be too far far away...

I guess you need to find someone very stupid with absolutely no taste if you want a differing opinion.
Seriously I couldn't tell you everything that happened in the last one because I couldn't force myself to sit through it to bitter end.

I can see Lucas siting there at a production meeting going "Hey I have this great idea how to reward the fans for sticking through this increasingly stupid dreck for the last 15 years,let's end it on a low note :)".
Then all the yes men look at each other with this blank expression until one finally says "It doesn't really matter as long as we work in some good toy tie-ins":mellow:

No offense to your scientic research or anything but fuck off.

Remember that the thread was started by dion. If there ever was an individual Jar Jar was created for...

[LemOnzoo]

I suggest 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Episodes 1 and 2 are watchable. 3rd part is to childish. Story is not so god, because they just wanted to fix storyline to fit into Star Wars IV.

Sue's apparently a slut.

[megabyteme]

Judging from the audience's complete lack of emotion, I'm reasonably sure that clip was shot during the time when it was medically a good practice to lobotomize housewives who were unhappy with their existences. That and the male members of the audience had actually NOT stayed away from Sue and feared getting caught.

Oh, and only communist pinkos showed emotion.

:unsure:

However, this is cool:


Idol was involved in a serious motorbike accident which nearly cost him a leg on 6 February 1990 at the corner of Gordon Avenue and Fountain Avenue in Hollywood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood).[15] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Idol#cite_note-15) He was hit by a car when he ran a stop sign while riding home from the studio one night, requiring a steel rod to be placed in his leg.[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Idol#cite_note-16) Shortly prior to this, film director James Cameron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cameron) had chosen Idol to play the T-1000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-1000)character in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_2:_Judgment_Day) and had drawn storyboards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyboard) to resemble him, but the accident prevented Idol from accepting.[17] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Idol#cite_note-17)

[IdolEyes787]

I don't get it.Anyway shouldn't Billy Idol's official slut song be

That makes no sense as he was obviously method acting with the metal in his body.

Foly huck! :o

White Wedding (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PPaIA9nazy0) is another "unplugged" which is awesome, too! I had no idea he was SOOO good acoustically. Steve Stevens is beyond amazing as well!

Unfortunately, being British, he was too stiff to play liquid metal. :no:

[adywan]

Stick to 4,5 & 6.

[Snee]

Old thread, but saw this a while ago:

http://www.cinelinx.com/movie-stuff/item/5721-star-wars-the-machete-order.html

Makes sense to me.

[salmonius0864]

Ignore the prequels and you can sleep at night

[ancalagon]

456 (required) - 123 (optional)

[gooberling]

456 first for sure, then 123 but after 123 go and watch the Redlettermedia reviews. He breaks down why they suck very nicely.

[smokeybear]

dude........who cannot watch Star Wars........

[smiths100]

Start from the news ones to the old ones!! Old ones better!!

[dion09529]

ok I got it. no further comments anymore. reviving 2 years old threads I'll consider as spam.

[sylverstreek]

Well you need a few items:
Chair, TV, vcr and your good to go
Sit and watch

[anon]

Absolutely, just make sure to adjust your tracking control first.

[arjunrishi]

start with New hope

[mjmacky]

start with New hope
If you play them backwards, you can hear the sound of Lucas molesting animals.

[shaina]

Really!! What kind of animals, domestic or imported?:dry:

[saftone]

Start with episode 4 and don't look back. I like to think episode 1-3 never existed.

[drakyul]

I just rewatched the whole series recently. Started with I and went to 7 with Rogue One thrown in before 4. The original series is still the only one that seems to be good to me, but I have never showed much interest in the series and liked it less watching it through again.

[evo]

Rogue one, 4-6, force awakens, 1-3 (optional or for a laugh)

[Ayahuasaca]

Ya, I think that you should watch them:
New Hope
Empire Stikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Rouge One
Fantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
The Force Awakens

[vaetrota]

On the original Laser-disc. It's the only version Lucas couldn't re-edit.

[gardensnome]

Star Wars, Empire, Jedi, Force Awakens, Rogue One. I prefer to watch them in the order they came out. Prefer to skip the Prequels.

[winderclown]

You've gotta watch them all to fully appreciate the rollercoaster ride.

[carto0]

You could watch the following versions:
Episode IV
A New Hope 1997 Special Edition
Star Wars Despecialized Edition v2.7
Star Wars Silver Screen Edition v1.6
and of course the Blue ray edition

Episode V
Team Negative1's Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Renegade Grindhouse Version 1
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Despecialized Edition Remastered v2.0
and of course the Blue ray edition

Episode VI
Despecialized Edition v2.5
Return of the Jedi - Grindhouse
and of course the Blue ray edition

:whistling

You can also refer to :
http://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/starwars/post/2017/10/29/So-you-want-to-Watch-Star-Wars
and wait for the "homemade" 4K edition http://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/starwars/page/Project-4K77

[doejohnblowjoe]

Watch 4, 5, 6, then 3.5 (Rogue One) and the 7 (Force Awakens). Then 8 (the last Jedi). And then go find the prequels, 1,2,& 3 and burn them instead of watching them. Then you're all set.

[RiverRapids]

I think Topher Grace did a edit of 1,2 & 3 that's supposed to be good. It gets rid of loads of the early stuff and makes the rest much better and less kid-friendly. I think it's on youtube.

[Thurman]

I would watch them in the exact same order as they appeared in the theater.

[Student]

I will agree with an earlier post and watch in the following order...
New Hope
Empire Stikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Rouge One
Fantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
The Force Awakens

[RNO]

Or you can try watching the fan edit instead :
- Star Wars - Episode I - Cloak of Deception (2014)
- Star Wars - Episode II - The Approaching Storm (2014)
- Star Wars - Episode III - Labyrinth of Evil (2014)

[mjd73ks]

the despecialized editions are also worth a watch.

[SantaKlaus666]

Will try to show them in chronological order to people new to the series. Also, I would just stop after episode III, none of the Disney's.
Personally, I still honor the prequels, as they tried to expand the universe.
