May the Fourth be with you!
Traveling to a galaxy far, far away can seem like a pretty daunting proposition — particularly now that the Star Wars series is rapidly expanding both on the big and small screen. Though it started as a simple trilogy of films from the mind of George Lucas, it has rapidly expanded over the decades to include books, video games, toys and even theme park lands.
So, what is the right order to watch Star Wars? That’s pretty easy (for now): you start with Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, if you’re looking to go chronologically. And then you end with the “last” film in the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. That will get increasingly more difficult as time goes on, additional films are added, and TV shows and movies jump around in time.
But for now, let’s concentrate on that sweet, sweet womp rat sandwich in the middle. If you want to get into Star Wars, just check out our rundown of how to watch the Star Wars movies in order, as well as the assorted TV shows. And just know we’ll expand this list more than the Death Star after Luke shoots a torpedo down its ventilation shaft.
First, a visual aid — because who doesn’t love a timeline?
