How to watch the Star Wars movies in order: release orderīest for: GamesRadar+'s recommending viewing experience. Watching the prequels first also dates the later movies, as the CGI can contrast with the practical effects of the original trilogy. The Phantom Menace, which includes a lot of Jar Jar Binks, could put some viewers off watching the rest of the series. Plus, with the spin-offs included, you get that seamless transition from Rogue One into A New Hope, and the Disney Plus series makes a whole lot more sense here.Ĭons: You start with the prequels, which are almost universally seen as the worst Star Wars movies.

There are no flashbacks and nothing to confuse the uninitiated. Pros: Arguably the simplest and most straight forward way to watch the movies.
