Here is the proper Machete Order for Star Wars: It skips over Episode I: The Phantom Menace entirely (I could live with that, honestly).

This is to keep the big twist in The Empire Strikes Back under wraps until the moment is right. With Machete Order, you're watching the Star Wars movies so that it solely focuses on Luke's story. If you've never heard of this order, it's okay - I didn't either until now.

The Machete Orderīack in 2011, a guy named Rod Hilton introduced The Machete Order for Star Wars. Another new series that will land on Disney+ is a series focusing on Rogue One's Cassian Andor, and this will be set five years before the events of Rogue One, but after the prequels. The Mandalorian happens after Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Episode VII: The Force Awakens.Ī new series focusing on Obi-Wan Kenobi will come to Disney+ in the future (release date unknown), and it has been stated that this takes place between Episode III and Episode IV as well, similar to Rebels. Star Wars: Rebels occurs between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. The final season of The Clone Wars is currently airing on Disney+ and should end somewhere during the events of Revenge of the Sith. Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes place between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Just remember - Han shot first!Īnd if you want to go even further into Star Wars lore, then you should watch the various television series that are out there. Solo, while it wasn't the best movie, does delve more into the backstory of Han Solo, the captain of the Millennium Falcon and Corellian smuggler turned leader of the Rebel Alliance.īut just be warned that if you go this route, you will be going from advanced CGI and effects in the prequels to dated and sometimes cheesy effects in the original trilogy. These are both solid films that can stand on their own, but Rogue One is especially important since the end leads right into A New Hope. So while the main movies are easy to remember since they're already in the right order, you have to factor in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
