What gild should I watch the Star Wars movies on Disney Plus?

This one is…tricky. Dissimilar the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was developed and released in a very deliberate social club, the more complicated history of the Star Wars movies leaves y'all a few options.

We retrieve in that location are three viable orders. The most pop order is probably the release society, given above. This is the "don't overthink it" order, and it's the order most die hard fans accept seen the movies in (that'due south not to say that makes information technology ameliorate—simply that if it worked for them it'due south probably okay).

The 2d is the chronological order, which looks similar:

  • Episodes I-3

  • Solo: A Star Wars Story

  • Episodes IV-IX

Many people think the chronological order is the way to get for newcomers, just the problem is that some of the big plotlines and surprised of Episodes IV, V, and Half-dozen are unceremoniously spoiled in Episodes I, II, and III.

  • Episodes I-III

  • Solo: A Star Wars Story

  • Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

  • Episode VI: Render of the Jedi

  • Episodes VII-IX

Our preferred order is a modified version of the Machete Order for the commencement six films. The order has the following virtues:

  • It begins with Episode Iv, the first film released

  • Information technology avoids spoiling Episodes Iv and 5 past putting those before I-3

  • Information technology concludes the story chronologically with Episodes VI-IX
