What's the way you're supposed to watch Star Wars?
>>
>>62711034
Start with 1 and go in numerical order, throwing in any other canon material if you're interested.
>>
You skip them all and read their wikipedia pages
>>
IV > I > V > II > III > VI > VII

>>62711034

1>2>Clone Wars series>3>Rebels series>4>5>6
>>
>>62711087
You're retarded.
>>
>>62711054
This, but no extra material.

Just go I, II, III, IV, V, VI.

That way you start with the bright colours and action and move on into the good stuff.

The joke is that the Despecialized Editions are fan edits meant to restore the film to its original theatrical presentation.

>>62711290
I know, but I might as well stick it in there for the sake of completeness.

I wonder if they'll ever make an Episode Zero.

2 is far worse than 1

1,2,3 are equally bad.

But 1 has nothing important when it comes to the main story.

>>62711323
>Episode 0

Don't even fucking joke about that you twat.

I think release order is optimal since the prequels imply you know things that happen in the future.
>>
>>62711814
>But 1 has nothing important when it comes to the main story.

Neither do 2 and 3, really. All of the important parts of the prequels are explained in the original trilogy. There's no reason to watch the prequels at all if you're only watching them for their value in the greater Star Wars story.
>>
>>62712042
Well the prequels tell about the rise of the Empire, the clone wars, and the fall of the jedi.

But it also ruins some classic characters and even the rules in the universe itsself. Only watch them if you want to know more about star wars, since they're canon sadly.

Literally worse than the original cuts

am i a pleb for seeing this the 19th and not the 18th?

>>62712101
>the rise of the Empire
It's something that could have been interesting if handled well, sure, but it isn't really important to the story. There's a reason all the scenes with Luke and pals complaining about and the expansion of the Empire were cut from Star Wars. It's not necessary, it's just fluff.

>the clone wars
Similarly, it's not important in the Star Wars saga as a whole, and would be significantly less important if it weren't so closely tied to the fall of the Republic/Rise of the Empire (which in and of itself is already not particularly important). Besides that, the Clone Wars are hardly even featured in the prequel trilogy. They don't even start until the end of the second movie and are over with about half-way through the third.

>the fall of the jedi
Everything you need to know about the fall of the jedi are explained in the original trilogy. They were peacekeepers, until a bad guy named Darth Vader betrayed and helped destroy them. There's nothing new added to this story in the prequels. Sure, we get to learn about the details of their fall, but the details are dumb and not important to the story as a whole.

Granted, I kind of enjoy the prequels. I don't dislike them as much as everyone else seems too. But to pretend they have any relevance to the overarching plot of the Star Wars saga is just silly.
>>
>>62712364
I'm a pleb for possibly not even watching the movie at all.

I mean, I might, but I'm not sure if I will.

But I'm a student and like to watch Rebels in study breaks.

>>62711034
4, 5, Clone Wars series (Tartakovsky), 6
Best order, best content. It's the machete order without the two shitty prequels.

After the twist in 5, the Clone Wars series acts as a flashback rounding out Anakin and Obi Wan's story and spacing the cliffhanger between 5 and 6. 6 is the resolution.

If the two CGI series are good, throw them in somewhere
>>
MACHETE AND CHRONOLOGICAL ARE SO FUCKING STUPID. Return of the Jedi was not made with the assumption you'd watch movies released 20 years later.

Watch the original trilogy despecialized and then watch the prequels if you must

It's not as dark as clone wars but it's decent. Worth a watch if you enjoy Star Wars.

Harmys despecialized versions
Prequels
Special edition
Tfa

Its so much better this way and you can watch the ot twice
>>
>>62711034
OT.
>>
>>62711034
4, 5, 6 (6 fast forwarding most of the scenes), despecialized version or original version.

>What's the way you're supposed to watch Star Wars?

On a large format screen with the best sound system possible since the best things about Star Wars are the action scenes / visual effects and the sound design / music.

>what order

IV > V > VI, you can then watch the prequels or the clone wars series (either) if you want.

Star Wars going forward is going to ignore the prequels as hard as possible and try to bank on nostalgia for the original 3 films. At this point the prequels are completely optional since they will probably never be directly referenced ever again in the films.

are there any other ways you people try to convince yourselves these films are good?

Nice Luke on the poster but in the movie he'll be like a grandpa. I suspect even older than Obi-Wan in ep.IV. More like a dying Yoga in Ep. VI. Unless he was hiding in some solar system where time slows down.
