6,2,4,3,5,1

Now you people are just making **** up

Now you people are just making **** up

I felt left out.

Explain your rationale

Empire = best of all 6 of them, ending, plot
Jedi = ending of the trilogy
New Hope = beginning of it all, introduction of characters

1-3 = aren't talked about in my house but I can tolerate some of 3

 

[Sandman]

1 == Episode 1 == The Phantom Menace

I don't acknowledge the last three.

 

[Saint_Ward]

I don't acknowledge the last three.

Still, they are considered IV, V, and VI.

Wait, were you ranking how you like them or the order you'd watch them?

Earlier, it was an order of how to watch them..

Not in my world.

 

[Saint_Ward]

Not in my world.

 

[RaginCajun83]

Read it wrong, was ranking how I like the 6 movies

Oh - as a ranking I can understand. Though, I might place IV above VI...it's kind of a toss-up. V is the clear best. I doesn't even show up on my ranking list.


That's not what we're talking about though - we're establishing the best order in which to watch them. With no prequels then it's obvious, but the prequels were not written correctly...they were written for people who had seen IV-VI and wanted backstory - not to feed into them while maintaining their feel and drama. This makes them backstory filler. Not contiguous parts of a integrated story line.

If you don't know anything about Star Wars and watch them I-II-III-IV-V-VI, then when you get to ESB and Vader say, "No...I am your father" and you're just going to say, "yeah...duh." Then in ROTJ, when Luke realizes that Leia is his sister, you will (once again) say, "Duh." You lose the impactfulness of the original story.


So how do they even fit into the continuum?

The correct order to watch them --

4, 5, 2, 3, 6

never watch episode 1.

My logic is, that you can view 2-6 as really Anakin's long arc from hero to villian to redemption. Episode 4 and 5 set up the current environment ending with the epic reveal that Darth Vader is the heroic Anakin Skywalker and Luke's father. Then you flash back to episode 2 and 3 to see how he went from being a heroic (but at the same time whiny, feckless, petulant boy) jedi to the dark lord of the Sith. Finally finish off with with episode 6 for his redemption.

That being said, my kids watched them in the same order I did --- 4,5,6,1,2,3

Only decent part of one is the light saber duel. Darth Maul. Just enough to show that Obi Wan lost his mentor and avenged him.

 

[Sandman]

You young-uns. The "Episode IV" and "A New Hope" were not part of the original scroll. It was added later.

*Edit* Did you change the picture to the Empire Strikes back?

Say what you want. If you want to acknowledge the awful prequels, have at it. I will live in a world with only 3 Star Wars movies at this time, and no fourth Indiana Jones movie. Life is better this way.

Edit some scenes of I into a prologue for II -- the Trade Federation blockade, the queen trying to get the federation sanctioned in the senate, followed by Palpatine manipulating the body to become the new chancellor. Skip everything on Tatooine, end with the Darth Maul duel. Don't even show 10-year0old Annakin.
