In which order should Star Wars be watched?

[jedi]

Of course, the whole story is now told the way George Lucas intended it to be told so...


Read Cliffs Notes of 1 (and watch the last lightsaber fight)
Then 2
Then Clone Wars DVDs
Then 3
4,5,6

The acting in the originals were never great, the dialog was just as cheezy ("You like me because I'm a scoundrel") and the characters were just as whiny. It's just that the originals have grown on us over time. The prequels, though I still don't think they're as good as the originals, establish the storyline. Episodes II and III weren't as bad as everyone says and if you cut out Jar-Jar scenes, Episode I is at least watchable.

I guess I have to say 456123, but as 123 went on, the tiny bit of plot they had got worse. Acting in one terrible,
but terrible in 3 also,


(***SPOILER ALERT***)








I was initally O.K.with it just being special effects, and the Obi Wan character worked, but then in 3 the whole, key movement of Vader to the dark side, which is the key to the whole series, didn't make any sense. For a moment in the movie I thought they were going to have the Emperor tell him that she was have an affair with Obi Wan, which he would believe because of all of the secret meetings, and that the childred weren't his, and that was why he was going to kill them, because if the Emperor hadn't lied to him like this and told him the two people closest to him betrayed him, he would never get angry enough to fully cross over, and certainly to kill his own family. I thought the cross over was going be over that momentarily, and slavery. Would have been better character driver. As such a fan of the original, and O.K. with the first two, the last one was disappointing.





So watch 4 after you get done anyway, better finish.

I always imagined a love triangle between Obi-wan, Vader, and Amidala would have made a lot more sense and been much more dramatic.

Upon first ever Star Wars Viewing without a doubt it should be like this...

IV: A New Hope
V: The Empire Strikes Back
VI: Return of the Jedi
I: The Phandom Menace
II: Attack of the Clones
Clone Wars Volume I
Clone Wars Volume II
III: Revenge of the Sith


However, once they've been seen previously I would watch them in the actual sequential order, still including Clone Wars I and II between Episode II and III.

Oh, and don't watch spaceballs, it's amazingly bad.

I also hate Spaceballs.
