So.. talking to my mate who has a little kid, and decided it’s about time he is introduced to Star Wars….
Now … the question is… do you do it in chronological order (1,2,3,4,5,6) or in release order(4,5,6,1,2,3)
Now, being flippant I said only show him 4 and 5 and use it as a life lesson in that the good people don’t always win! So I was of no use!
Another friend suggested the “machete order” (4,5,2,3,6…. Forget about 1)
So…. Suggestions?

Machete order!
A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, and Return of the Jedi.
It's designed to:
Preserve and add new twists
Keep the surprise that Luke and Leia are siblings
Strengthen the parallels between Luke and Anakin
Introduce young Anakin before the end of Return of the Jedi
Phantom menace is optional but goes between Empire and Clones.

Start with clone wars, not all of it, just... a lot of it. For kids it gets them used to what the world is and most importantly WHO Anakin Skywalker is.
THEN you show them episode 4, when old Ben tells Luke that Darth Vader killed his father Anakin Skywalker the kids will be more invested against Darth Vader without knowing who he is.
So, clone wars, 4, 5 (1,2,3) 6.
A little disjointed maybe, but man is it going to rock their little brains. |

"4,5,6
Burn 1,2 & 3
Solo is allowed. "
Nah. You are not allowed to shit on the prequels but praise solo in the same breath. With the exception of rogue one, Disney star wars movies are terrible even compared to prequels. |

"I am enjoying the fact that 7, 8, 9 aren't even getting a look in.  "
To be fair 7 is passible as a stand alone but mostly because it was just a redo of 4 but tweaked ever so slightly. Which also goes against it too. |

They were all redos of the original three, you could easily see the same elements and story structures. So sad. |

surely as released would be best? If I was to watch them for the first time again it would be in release order 🤔 |
