The classic trilogy opened between 1977 and 1983; The franchise was rescheduled 14 years later, with the proposal launched between 19 and 2005; And then, ten years later, new films came to theaters, continuing the events of the first three features, and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), as well as new characters. In form of.
It is also understandable that, when ‘Star Wars’ was launched in 1977, no one imagined its grand success or that the scenes created by George Lucas would be produced.

‘Star Wars’ chronological order
- Episode I: The Phantom Men’s (1999)
- Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)

- Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)
- Episode IX: The Skywalker Rise (2019)
This is the most logical sequence to start watching, because the story is enjoyed from beginning to end according to the natural progression of time without flashbacks or time jumps. In this way, we see the development of Anakin, who passes the heroism to Luke and then to Ray.
One of the biggest surprises of the franchise is in the ‘Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back’ order of release – the biggest problem watching movies in this line. After all, even though it seems like common sense, many people are unaware of the change of this particular feature, which is also considered one of the biggest surprises in the history of cinema.
Therefore, this order is not recommended if you have never heard of the saga and want to be completely surprised by the events.
release order
- Star Wars or Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
- Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
- Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)

- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
- Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)
- Han Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
- Episode IX: The Skywalker Rise (2019)
Yes, the “Star Wars” films were all out of order – in a chronological sense. Eventually, George Lucas only intended to make a trilogy, but the success of the franchise was too great and the rest, well, it’s history …
In the original release order of ‘Star Wars’, we ended the story starting with ‘Episode IV’ and then ‘Episode IX’. Watching films in this sequence makes it possible to see the development of visual effects, even though George Lucas has reworked, recreated, re-created and added many details to the first three films over the years.
Order Ernst Rister (and who is Ernst Rister for ‘Star Wars’?)
- Star Wars or Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
- Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
- Episode I: The Phantom Men’s (1999)
- Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)
- Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)
- Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)
- Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)
- Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)
- Episode IX: The Skywalker Rise (2019)
- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
- Han Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Ernst Rister, in theory, is not a producer, actor or even someone associated with the franchise. However, as a big fan of the film series, he spent the early 2000s watching “Star Wars” and enjoying the story without spoiling the ‘big reveal’ of ‘Episode V’ as the “best Order “. Over time, the sequence has been updated, with new productions coming.
After “Ernst Rister Order”, you initially watch episodes ‘IV’ and ‘V’, surprised by the plot twist (plot twist). Then, move on to the first three films (chronological), avoid confusion with the figure of Episode ‘VI’ and raise expectations for the outcome of the series. Thus, the episodes ‘I’, ‘II’ and ‘III’ would serve as a kind of flashback before the end of the saga.
Machete order
- Star Wars or Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
- Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
- Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)

- Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)
- Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)
- Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)
- Episode IX: The Skywalker Rise (2019)
- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
- Han Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
One of the most controversial forms of the order to watch ‘Star Wars’, a fan from the United States (USA), also designed a machete to watch under the name Rod Hilton, but the name is in honor of his blog, “Machete juggling ”.
The basis for creating the order is simple: if there is a problem with the way Ernst Rister has a detailed look, it is that in the sequence of ‘Episode V’, one of the highest points of the saga will be ‘Episode I’. Seen is considered by fans to be the worst feature of the franchise.
The “machete order”, then, fixes the “error”, leaving the same line of thought “Ernst Rister”, but excluding the first episode of the sequence of films, which, according to Hilton on its website, is “narrative form. Is irrelevant. ” “.
New ‘Star Wars’ Order
- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
- Star Wars or Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)

- Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)
- Episode IX: The Skywalker Rise (2019)

With the advent of new productions, a new order was created to watch ‘Star Wars’. With the introduction of the spin-off, some purist fans like the idea of the beginning of the saga in ‘Rogue One’, as the end of the film marks the precise beginning of ‘Episode IV: A New Hope’, which is two at a time. Makes it easy to watch movies.
“New Order” tries to get the best of all that is already presented, being a bit chronological and a little “Ernst Sister”. Whether or not to watch ‘Episode I’ and ‘Han Solo’ is up to the audience.
And then: Do you already know which order to follow to watch ‘Star Wars’? Know that you can check out all 11 features of the saga – in particular on Disney or streaming platforms, among other projects from George Lucas’ universe.
