Release Order

This one is for the purists that want to experience the movies and TV shows in the order that the creators wanted them viewed. It includes multiple time jumps, flashbacks, and ruins of a few big plot twists ahead of time. However, it is the order that fans following the Star War saga from the start got to experience the content in.

  • The Mandalorian season 2
  • The Book of Boba Fett

Machete Order

This one is a hack and slash method for viewers that would just like to focus on the story of Luke Skywalker. However, there is no correct place to interject the new content in this watch order. It is mainly for viewers hat want to follow the main storyline but do not like The Phantom Menace at all and would like to deny its existence in the timeline.

  • A New Hope
  • The Empire Strikes Back
  • Attack of the Clones
  • Revenge of the Sith
  • Return of the Jedi
  • The Force Awakens
  • The Last Jedi
  • The Rise of Skywalker

These are the three most popular ways to watch Star Wars in order. However, the best method depends on what the viewer wants out of the experience.
