Having seen the original trilogy, viewers will watch helplessly as gallant Jedi Knight becomes evil Sith, just as they were meant to.Īs for the rest of the order, it’s pretty self-explanatory: the sequel trilogy comes next, and Solo: A Star Wars Story can fit in pretty much anywhere. I recommend skipping the Clone Wars animated movie and TV show for now, as this much content could be overwhelming. The disturbing interaction between Vader and Krennic at his castle on Mustafar creates the aura of mysticism that should surround a Sith Lord, and that hallway scene towards the end showcases his raw power in a way his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope never could.Īfter viewing Rogue One and the rest of the original trilogy, new fans should watch the prequels. This viewing order actually introduces Darth Vader as the fearsome, technological terror he was always intended to be. Armed with this background knowledge, they would be interested enough to appreciate the decades-old original trilogy and stick with the franchise. New fans would be thrown straight into the Galactic Civil War, and would immediately be interested to see where the story goes and learn more about the universe. Rogue One is a fast-paced, modern sci-fi flick that will captivate most contemporary viewers.
To preserve this surprise, I still propose beginning with the original trilogy era, specifically Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This is a memorable twist that would hook a new fan instantly, and having this knowledge allows for greater appreciation of the foreshadowing sprinkled throughout the prequels. The chronological viewing order is also problematic, mainly because it ruins one of the greatest reveals in all of cinema - that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker.
It’s quite possible a modern fan would get bored with the release viewing order. Unless the prospective Star Wars fan is a classic movie buff, they will have a hard time engaging with the slower pacing and aged effects. As beloved as the original trilogy is, for the casual fan in 2021 it can be hard to get in to.
