How to start watching star wars

The best way to watch the Star Wars films is in release order: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, The Force Awakens, and The Last Jedi.

So, chronological order would be:

The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Solo, Rogue One, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi … and then, The Rise of Skywalker.

“Start with one,” Lucas says of the correct way of watching the Star Wars movies. “That’s the way to do it right: one, two, three, four, five, six. That’s the way they’re supposed to be done. Just because it took a long time to film it doesn’t mean you don’t do it in order.”

A few years ago, this devoted fan came up with a way of preserving the twist and saving the best bits, by simply watching the films in a different order. He named his method ‘the Machete Order‘ after his blog.

So the order is: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and then The Rise of Skywalker.

Proper noun. Machete Order. (fandom slang) A sequence in which to watch the Star Wars film saga, minus episode I.

Machete Order: The best way to watch Star Wars, explained

So watching for the first time in numerical order isn’t the best idea. But chronological order isn’t the best option either. After the prequel trilogy’s release, a Star Wars fan named Rod Hilton created what’s known as the Machete Order.

It will take you 25 hours and 7 minutes to watch all 11 live-action Star Wars movies (original versions). This count includes the nine instalments from the Skywalker saga and the two anthology movies, Rogue One and Solo. Excluding the anthology movies, Episode I to IX will take you 20 hours and 39 minutes to watch.

Starting with Episode IV meant throwing audiences into the world of Star Wars with little context. Even the first movie references events like the Clone Wars that would not come into play until the prequels were made, so the prequel movies became necessary after Star Wars gained its massive popularity.

The revelation of Baby Yoda’s name included a “Star Wars” easter egg fans might have missed. The fifth episode of “The Mandalorian’s” second season dropped a bombshell on “Star Wars” fans: Baby Yoda‘s real name is Grogu.

Star Wars Has No More Sequels Planned (Yet)

The future of the Star Wars timeline beyond Rise of Skywalker is currently unconfirmed. Many Star Wars projects, including movies, are currently in the works, but none of them (as far as we know) are set to be the equivalent of Star Wars: Episode X.

Maul’s appearance in “Solo” suggests there’s still more to his story, though. Crimson Dawn is described as being an extremely powerful criminal syndicate that works both within the Empire and against it. That means he’s clearly a force in the galaxy.

Darth Maul is deceased during the events of The Mandalorian

What’s more, he died before the Empire fell — before the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope. He had a whole climactic lightsaber duel with his ultimate nemesis, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on Tatooine (as seen in Star Wars Rebels).

Thought deceased, Darth Maul survived his injuries by focusing on his hatred of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi who cut him in half. His shattered body was dumped amid the refuse of the junk planet Lotho Minor, where the once deadly warrior fell into madness, staying alive on a diet of vermin.

While fans continue to push for Lucasfilm to revisit the franchise with a sequel film, those connected with the film have been frank in noting there are no plans for a follow-up film. As Ron Howard told CinemaBlend when asked about the chance of furthering the Solo franchise, “there’s no sequel planned.”

2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story featured an unexpected cameo from Darth Maul, which teased sequels, spin-offs, and bigger things to come for the iconic Star Wars villain. Despite being killed off in his first (and, before Solo, only) movie appearance, Maul returned to life in the animated series The Clone Wars.

‘Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker‘ Is The Biggest-Grossing Box Office Disappointment Ever.

Qi’ra is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, first appearing in the 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story and portrayed by English actress Emilia Clarke. The character was introduced in the 2018 prequel novel Most Wanted by Rae Carson.

Tobias Beckett was born on the planet Glee Anselm. At some point before 10 BBY, he met the bounty hunter Aurra Sing and pushed her to her death. Sing’s death was later recalled by Beckett while talking with Lando Calrissian, though Beckett claimed that he just pushed Sing and that it was the fall that killed her.

Short answer: No. Long answer: No way. In both Legends and Canon, the closest thing Darth Maul ever had to a girlfriend was Darth Sidious. Darth Maul spent the vast majority of his life alone on Mustafar, being raised by droids.

Han’s girlfriend is a total femme fatale.

It turns out she’s his lieutenant in the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, and following their reconnection and a bunch of double-crossing within Han’s crew, Qi’ra kills her boss and takes over his position of power instead of going with Han.
