I have seen bits of the original Star Wars films, but don't really know the story. I saw Episode 1 but can't remember much of it. In short I've never seen Star Wars.

So, my question to you is in what order should I watch them?

I think they are supposed to be watched 4-6 then 1-3 to be honest, although I'd try and find copys of 4-6 before they've been updated with really stupid CGI aliens.

I've only seen the original three Star Wars films - not sure where they fit into the six films...I saw Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back on TV when I was kid (used to be on every Christmas without fail) and I saw Return of the Jedi in the cinema.

Given the choice I'd just watch 4-6 and blank 1-3 from my mind forever.

3, 5 & 6 are my favourites. I like to watch them in order from 1-6 as 1-3 sets the story for 4-6.

I do agree with you MtM that I think the prequels get unnecessary criticism at times, they're not as bad as people like to make out.

I was the idiot that voted for 1-6, meant 3,5,6,1,2,3 so should really read 6-0

i would agree that 3 can stand on its own, however the first 2 aren't up to par, bar the brief Yoda lightsaber fight in attack of the clones. Agree about the end battle between Anakin and Obi Wan loved it bar the bit about Anakin trying to take the high ground, yes he would have confidence in his powers however the tactician in him i would have thought would say to have gone on the main land further away then regain a level height......

@Enforcer: Strictly speaking, if you want to see events unfold in chronological order, you should watch:

I. Phantom Menace
II. Attack of the Clones
III. Revenge of the Sith
IV. A New Hope
V. Empire Strikes Back
VI. Return of the Jedi

The events of 4-6 follow on from the new films. All the Jedi are supposedly murdered in the attack on the temple and elsewhere throughout the galaxy in Revenge of the Sith, but Anakin's children Luke and Leia are taken to safe places (Tatooine and Alderran) where they grow up unaware of each others' existence.

I think that you should watch 4-6 then watch Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull.

This will make you appreciate that 1-3 arent as bad as George could have made them. They will seem acceptable.

If someone hasn't yet seen Star Wars the main question isn't what order to watch them in, it's what method of execution should be used.

Lol! Agree completely. Its a shame as KOTCS could have been a good film and is still mostly quite enjoyable, apart from the ludicrous prospect of long-buried, crystalline aliens, awaiting the return of a single crewmember's head, before they can fly back from whence they came.

If only they'd just stuck with regular archaeology...

1-6 if you've never seen them before. I saw 4-6 first because I'm not dead inside but if you want to have any feelings at all about 1-3 you have to watch them first so you actually give a rats bum about Anakin and Obi Wan. If you watch 4-6 first you'll see the first ones as nothing more than poorly acted, digitally enhanced fakery, boring glorified action movies...which they are

oh and heres a link to a guy I follow on youtube.

He's posted the full movies of all six star wars so you can watch them for free if you go to his channel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w27SB0jsiag

Think that ones return of The Jedi so no matter what order you watch them in DONT watch that first

Got to be honest, I loved the original Star Wars when I was a kid at school, but was never as enthusiastic about the sequels, and certainly not the prequels. So my order of preference would be 4. Um, that's it.

Thanks for your input

I would do 4-6 and then 1-3. I think the main stigma of Phantom Menace is how annoying Jar Jar Binks is at least Lucas had the sense to not make the ewoks speak. I just try and block him out.

I cant wait for the Blu-Ray boxset that comes out on the 12th September. 9 whole discs of Star Wars films and deleted scenes etc

If you watch film 1, you might not want to continue with the other 5. I would start with 4 and go from there. As you've posted this a while ago, Enforcer, did you finally get round to watching the films?

I haven't yet Media Cat, I have a huge collection of DVDs that I have never seen so I am trying to work my way through those at the moment!

I think 4-6 then 1-3 is the way I will do it when I get round to it.

Oddly, I've never seen #3.

Was a big fan of Star Wars and ESB, and RotJ is alright (shame about the Care Bears), but #1 is pretty mediocre and #2 only a bit better so I never really fussed about watching Revenge of the Sith.

I can completely understand that, Enforcer. I've had the last 30 years to see ET and I've never got round to it.
