Machete order is the most coherent, in order:

>A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Return of the Jedi

The Phantom Menace is unnecessary and completely irrelevant to the main plot

If you're looking for quality then watch only the original trilogy
>>
None of them
There are too many good movies to be wasting your time on anti art trash like star wars

read the Wikipedia pages instead
>>
>>62682452
order of production.

if you start with the prequels you're going to give up mid way.

Also if you haven't seen Star Wars yet, you'll probably be let down. Everything interesting about them 30 years ago is now cliche, you already know everything about everyone. And 70% of all the bonus CGI and bullshit makes the films a little worse, except for the musical number in VI, that was literally worse than the Holocaust.
>>
>>62682536
that's a retarded order. But I agree that in any order you can skip the Phantom Menace.
>>
well, that's cheering...

inclined to machete now
>>
>>62682489
>>62682478
Don't listen to that shit
456123 is the only way. Machete order is fine but not necessary if you're watching any prequels watch them all
>>

>>62682452
4 -> 5 -> 6 -> stop watching.
In as original copies as you can find.
>>
>>62682721
I actually beg you if its your first time do NOT follow up 5 with 2 and 3 you're going to be pissed just do 5 6 it's honestly the best way to watch the climax

And get the despecialized
>>
45236 is the patrician's choice to watch them

stay away from 1 at all costs
>>
VII - I - IV - V - VI - II - III
Completely serious
>>
135246
>>
>>62682784
Why would you honestly voluntarily watch 2 after 5 and not 6. Stop fooling yourself 45236 is shit if it's your first time. You don't want that nasty taste in your mouth after watching empire. Empire then Jedi. Patrician order is 456. 456123 or 123456 if you've seen them already.
>>
456123 unless you're reddit.
>>
if youre seriously asking you are a memeing faggot. 456 123 then disregard 123
>>
you can skip 2 altgether
>>
>>62682452
456123

the prequels aren't as bad as everyone says they are. that doesn't mean they're good, but...
>>
>>62682536
This meme needs to be reconsidered following up the best in the series with the worst? Showing vader as anything but vader also destroys the perception for the faint of heart

>even entertaining the notion of watching the prequels
>>
>>62682665
But it isn't a retarded order; it sets up the vader character, relates him to luke, then dives into his backstory, before wrapping up nicely with ROTJ.

I doubted it, but after giving it a go, it really works well feeling-wise. Makes ROTJ more intense after having just seen a character turn to the dark side in the prequels.
>>
>>62683126
It's restarted to watch empire and then attack of the clones. You're a fucking idiot. The prequels aren't good in setting up vader. Especially attack of the clones. You can watch them after if you want. You watch return of the Jedi after empire not 236. If you're gonna be that much of a spaz watch them 123456
>>
>>62682945
That's "feint" of heart.
>>
>>62682452
Machete order is pointless for a first time watch. Either watch in chronological order or release order.

>Chronological
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

>Release
4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3
>>
>>62683185
>The prequels aren't good in setting up vader.
Well that's really all they offer to the situation anyway. You seem to just be saying "skip the prequels", in which your commentary on order is moot to begin with.
>>
>>62683185
This. If you're autistic enough to watch it as 45236 you may as well just watch it 123456.
>>

>>62683199
'no'

i think by asking this question op was checking to see how unbelievably autistic you people are
>>
>>62683248
Why? Explain your point.
>>
Watch them how they were released. Protip, you should do this with every art form, at least that's my "guideline" whenever I start reading someone works, or appreciating their films, looking at their art, or listening to their music. You can feel them evolve, for better or worse, usually at the moment when the creations have met their peak (early half of the career) you've seen the developments and changes and appreciate for what they are, usually ending in master pieces.
Philosophers usually break the norm though, their best work are later in their career (be it shitty healthcare, too few, etc..).
>>
>>62683036
>not watching 456 and then Tarkovskys clone wars
>>
Release order.

4, 5, 6
>>
>>62683287
2 and 3 add nothing to Return of the Jedi. If you're autistic enough to think it does you may as well watch all of them beforehand to go full autist
>>
>>62683240
>the prequels weren't good at setting up vader
>well that's all they were meant to do
Do we really have to start quoting Anakin in this thread

Just fucking get the prequels out of the way. It would suck huge dick if your second-to-last movie was Episode 2. If you want, skip Episode 2 altogether.
>>
Are you fucking retarded?

And people are actually responding to this?

Production order, it's always always production order to any question like this. Films aren't made by hyper dimensional beings that know all futures and pasts, they're made in the context of what has already been made.

rest don't really have sheev so I'm not sure why you'd watch them

Indeed, they are flashbacks if anything, not truly meant to precede the original trilogy.

Good comment, not the proper thread.

4 5 6

really REALLY dont watch the prequels. there's no insight or entertainment to be gained, just boredom.

>>62683036
The middle three are no longer canon (yes the novelisations were included in the purge).

Can confirm. Machete is GOAT.

4,5,3,6

Don't bother watching 1 and you can probably get away with skipping 2
>>
>>62683826
canon doesn't matter
>>
there's a very good reason for suffering through the prequels and thats so you can watch the plinkett reviews

So
DAY 1: Original trilogy(456)
DAY 2: prequels(123)
DAY 3: plinkett reviews

Shia Le Beouf Method:

6 5 4 3 TCW 2 1

>don't bother watching 1

It's dull in some areas but it was definitely a Star Wars movie. The least watch it for the podrace and the Maul fight.
>>
>>62682452
456 if you want to expose yourself to only the "best" of Star Wars movieverse.

45236 if you really need to watch any of the prequel drivel.

> the non-canon Clone Wars
> not the long running series that was a solid 8/10
Tartakovsky's original series were decent, but it just feels like a kick in the nuts to unclude something so great, yet nonexistent is the SWU. Still, the CG movie and series were decent, too.
Who is best clone and why is it Rex?
>>
>>62684153
i put them in order of accessibility for modern audiences. I assume OP is in his early teens and thats why he hasn't seen them yet. My nephew fell asleep during A New Hope, it might as well be Stalker for them
>>
>>62683955
Chia la bouffe
>>
>>62682452
Watch 456 over and over for like 10 years. Learn it, live it, love it. Then watch the prequels in order a year apart.
>>
I suggest watching ROTJ three times. That order will reveal to you Sheev's plan.
