Star Wars. 4 5 6 1 2 3 or 1 2 3 4 5 6?

1-3 were not great (concept fine, execution poor) but 4-6 were far from flawless. Lets face it the films are one of the worst parts of the Star Wars brand.

Lets face it the films are one of the worst parts of the Star Wars brand.

The films are pretty much the core foundation of what made Star Wars popular today.

 

[Shamikebab]

Oh I agree, doesn't mean it's the best. The acting isn't great, the dialogue is wooden and they are ridiculously cheesy at times (droids, gungans from prequels, ewoks from originals)

 

[L1ght]

You would be a fool to watch them in the order of 1-6. This would essentially destroy all the twists and turns of the original films (4-6).

Spoiler

Luke finding out Vader is his father, Leia is his twin sister etc. Knowing all this before hand would be like reading the best parts of a book.

4-6 then 1-3

 

[realBabelfish]

I watched them 1-6 not so long ago and believe they should be watched 4-6 then 1-3.

but then they get worse!

1-6 is best IMO as they get better. (then fail off a bit with ROTJ)

watching them in the order they were made (4-6-, 1-3) they get worse

my mrs had never seen them so we watched them 1-6 and she loved them.

as said, who really doesnt know about luke and darth?

i guess i will have this all over again when my son is old enough to watch them

You need to show him 4-6 first else rob yourself, and him, of this:

How can you claim to be a Star Wars fan but not enjoy 1, 2, and 3?.

A true Star Wars fan would simply never ask that question. Instant fail.

Just stumbled across this. Made me laugh

That sounds pretty cool, may have to give it a go... Now if only I could delete having seen all the films from memory first

There's a 1, 2, and 3?

Lies, all lies! Don't fall for it, they'll tell you a 7,8 and 9 are out next!

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Lies, all lies! Don't fall for it, they'll tell you a 7,8 and 9 are out next!

HAHAHA next you'll be saying Disney will make them too!

Erm guys... I have news... it's bad!

4, 5, 2, 3, 6. Skip 1.

You get the "Father" reveal, then see Vader's backstory and then conclude with Jedi and Vader's redemption.

Trying to pass of Machete order as your own suggestion, poor form

 

[Lunatic Dreyfus]

4,5,6 - 'cept for the whole Ewok unpleasantness they are what Star Wars is all about.

The prequels are just an utter disaster, with The Phantom Menace frankly one of the worst big budget films ever made.

 

[Vonhelmet]

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

 

[Infidelus]

4-6 first. 1-3 if you enjoy wooden acting and poor scripts.
