1. start with phantom menace, then go to attack of the clones, (clone wars animated) then revenge of sith, then starwars new hope, empire strikes back, and finally return of jedi.

2. if you sorta know the storyline then you can start the way everybody else watched them, new hope, empire, return of jedi followed by phantom, clone, and sith.

um, no.

watch it in this order: episodes 4,5,6,1,2,3.

you'll thank me (and everyone else) later.

Watch IV, V, VI and leave I, II, and III in the trash where they belong.

OT seems to turn a simple Star Wars thread into a fvck'n flamefest.

Look, it's common sense. Watch it in the order that it came out. Like everyone else. Think of the New 3 (phantom menace, aotc, rots) as a prequel that will fill you in after you watch 456 (New Hope, Empire, Return of Jedi).

Now, my personal favorite was Return of the Jedi, but a lot of people like Empire Strikes Back as their favorite Star Wars movie. And if you want to get it JUST LIKE IT WAS BACK THEN, watch 456, then wait a long time (years) then watch the first 3 new ones. But I'd deffinitly get the new trilogy of 456 thats on DVD now. It's A LOT better than the VHS's from back in the day.

I don't know why anyone would watch it 123, 456 because you'd go from great effects to... lesser effects. It's not like your missing out on any important information. In fact, it's more entertaining that way (Luke, I am your father). Watching it 123, 456 would ruin a few things, IMO.

DO NOT WATCH THEM 1-6! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! IT WILL TOTALLY RUIN THE BIGGEST MOMENTS IN EPISODES 5-6!!

YOU MUST WATCH THEM IN THIS ORDER: 456 123

That's the order they came out in - that's the order they were intended to be watched in. 4-6 are the best and watching 1-3 first will ruin 4-6.

It's pretty stupid people are suggesting otherwise.

456, skip the rest

That's a better idea.

Alphabetic order.

OMG!! That's not the line!!

He just says, "No, I am your father!" He doesn't lead into it with Luke! Silly!

So I never watched any Star Wars, originals, new ones, none. I know, now your questioning how it is I belong here. In earth that is. Well I was wondering if you can help me pick the first one to watch, or the actual order to watch them. How many are there anyway?

I didn't read the entire thread, but I wouldn't recommend watching the series, unless you like plot holes as wide as goatse.cx(warning sexual content).

Also, make sure you watch the widescreen verions. None of the full screen crap!

456 vhs then 123 dvd. the 456 dvd set makes some changes to the story that also will ruin some suprises. And some of them are stupid. Like the changes in the cantina scene with Han and the Bounty Hunter...

Or the change to the blue group scene at the end of Return of the Jedi!

You have to watch them in the order they were released if you want to enjoy the biggest surprises in the series. There's no other way.

However, I'd like to see you watch them in numerical order just to see what you think. Be a guinea pig!

 

[2Dead]

or the change when the emporer is talking to vader and about why Luke cannot be allowed to become a jedi... that scene ruins Empire Strikes Back

Anyone arguing to watch them in order and calls themselves a Star Wars fan needs to re-evaluate themselves. Watch them in the order they came out in: 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3. Why?


SPOILER - For those who haven't













Lucas messed up big time in the prequels, but especially with RotS. No longer is it a complete surprise that, in ESB, we find out that Vader is Luke's father. I remember watching Empire for the first time and that line absolutely blew me away. There's a reason why many people call it one of the biggest lines in movie history, and Lucas completely ruined it by showing us Anakin's transformation to Vader. He should have left us thinking Anakin died near the river of lava.

That makes no sense! We already knew going into RotS that Vader was Anakin Skywalker and that he is Luke's father. What good would it have been to act as if he died? The only people that ruins it for are those who watch it in the wrong order, because then they won't be surprised!

yeah, but i don't think that should be the only reason to watch them in that order.
