Star Wars Day: How To Watch The Star Wars Franchise In Order?
While most watch Star Wars Saga in the traditional aspect, we are bringing you the different orders in which you can experience the five-decade-long franchise.
The
three
Star
Wars
trilogies
finally
ended
in
2019,
and
Disney
Hotstar
will
also
air
the
final
episode
of
the
animated
series,
Clone
Wars
today.
While
the
world
celebrates,
May
the
4th
as
Star
Wars
Day,
and
there
is
no
better
time
to
revisit
the
saga.
New
or
old
fans
of
the
franchise,
there
are
many
ways
to
watch
the
entire
series
and
enjoy
different
aspects
of
the
story,
and
since
there
are
so
many
films,
and
spin-off
shows,
it
is
hard
to
keep
track
of
the
correct
order
of
the
entire
franchise.
While
most
watch
it
in
the
traditional
aspect,
we
are
bringing
you
the
different
orders
in
which
you
can
experience
the
five-decade-long
franchise.
You
can
watch
it
in
chronological
order,
the
release
order
and
then
there
are
other
lesser-known
options
like
the
Machete
Order,
where
you
remove
The
Phantom
Menace
from
the
storyline.
In
later
years,
the
makers
also
released
new
anthology
films
like
Rogue
One
(2016)
and
Solo:
A
Star
Wars
Story
(2018),
which
take
place
between
the
originals
and
prequels,
but
were
released
during
the
last
trilogy.
Disney
has
also
brought
forward
many
shorts,
lego
movies
and
animation
series
like
the
Rebels
and
Clone
Wars,
which
don't
just
add
more
story
to
the
franchise
but
give
fans
a
chance
to
connect
with
these
characters
more
meaningfully.
If
you
wish
to
watch
the
series
in
the
exact
order
of
the
events
that
took
place,
never
mind
the
twists
viewers
experienced
when
the
film's
released,
then
this
one
is
for
you.
It
will
help
you
better
understand
the
story
and
learn
new
Jedi
tricks
along
the
way.
This
order
is
best
used
if
you
are
watching
the
series
for
the
second
time.

The
Machete
Order
The
Machete
Order
is
a
special
one
for
the
series
fans,
who
love
the
Luke's
-
I
am
Your
Father
twist.
It
basically
cuts
The
Phantom
Menace
as
it
is
the
least-loved
film
of
the
franchise,
and
preserves
the
beloved
"I
am
your
father" moment.
However,
it
does
not
include
the
sequels
but
will
preserve
the
innocence
for
your
love
for
the
original
films.

The
Theatrical
Release
Order
This
is
the
original
order
in
which
the
films
were
released
in
theatres
from
1977
to
2019.
While
it
keeps
the
twist
of
Luke's
father,
the
entire
storyline
is
jumbled
making
it
harder
for
new
fans
to
understand
the
original
timeline.
Here,
you
first
start
with
the
originals,
then
go
to
the
prequels,
and
end
with
the
sequels,
with
several
anthologies
in
the
middle.
