Star Wars Movies Watch Order
When it comes to the watching order, if you choose to do it by the release order, two spin-off movies (Solo and Rogue One) can make it confusing, because they were released in between the sequel trilogies. On the other hand, chronological order will not only reveal Dart Vader’s past, but you will also transition from the newer and better-looking movies to the old ones done 40 years ago, and some don’t like that. Alternatively, if you are not in favor of either of those, you can watch it in the order listed below:
- Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) – original movie
- Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980) – 3 years after Episode IV
- Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983) – 1 year after Episode V
- Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) – 32 years before A New Hope
- Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) – 10 years after Episode I
- Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005) – 3 years after Episode II
- Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) – 9 years after Episode III
- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) – 10 years after Solo, 19 after Episode III, just before Episode IV
- Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015) – 30 years after Episode VI
