Star Wars Reactions are coming and we need YOUR HELP
Added 2023-01-17 21:17:00 +0000 UTCRuff and his Girlfriend are going to start blind reacting to all of Star Wars. Should they watch in release order or canonical order?

The movies work better in release order. The prequels assume the viewer is already familiar with the setting.

2024-07-24 22:01:47 +0000 UTCYou really should watch them in release order. The thing is, the prequels were made 20 years after the original series and are very much written with the assumption that the viewer is already familiar with the original series. They build on the story of the original series and mostly exist to fill in gaps and answer questions people had about the original trilogy.

2023-01-18 15:34:57 +0000 UTCif it’s movies you have to do release, otherwise i wouldn’t mind release order, i think most people are assuming it’s everything so they’ve put canonical

2023-01-18 13:00:44 +0000 UTCWill this include EVERYTHING or just the movies? Cause if it isn’t everything then I’ll be disappointed

2023-01-18 02:12:10 +0000 UTCCanonical please. The hype builds across all movies that way instead of peaking and troughing movie by movie.

2023-01-18 01:22:23 +0000 UTCI'm a little confused on the question, do you mean just the movies, shows, or both. If it's both, then I would suggest the canonical order. If it's just the movies, then either is fine. If it is just the shows, then canonical.

2023-01-18 01:16:31 +0000 UTC100% Release Order. Yeah the Prequels are the chronological start of the story, but they were made with the knowledge that people were familiar with the Original Trilogy. Watching Chronological you've suddenly got a bunch of extra concepts layered on top of knowledge you'd only have from the original films. Makes the Prequels a lot harder to watch.

2023-01-18 01:04:05 +0000 UTCEither way it's fine I guess, although it would be AMAZING if they could also react to the animated and live-action shows alongside the movies. But if I had to pick one option, I'd say that release order it's the best way to go, i say that because the original trilogy gives a more digestible and easy to follow story to introduce you to the Star Wars Franchise. If you start with the Prequel Trilogy you are definitely gonna miss some of the concepts and themes the first time you watch them.

2023-01-17 21:55:23 +0000 UTCThat's a REALLY good question. huh. Personally I don't find it confusing to start in the middle and then watch prequels, so... I'm going to vote release order. But either is fine.
William Timmins
2023-01-17 21:39:29 +0000 UTCI'll vote for release order because while totally hilarious, the prequels might not be the best place to start fresh

2023-01-17 21:37:05 +0000 UTCI'm a fan of Machete Order 4,5,1,2,3,6,7,8,9 but Release is also good

2023-01-17 21:30:41 +0000 UTCI watched them in Canonical order and I am voting for Release Order. The Original trilogy is better for it.

2023-01-17 21:23:51 +0000 UTCRelease order is the only correct order. This is the one part of Star Wars where I will be elitist.

2023-01-17 21:21:15 +0000 UTCCanonical order. You’ll appreciate the original trilogy a lot more with the prequels to compare them to, and honestly you’ll enjoy the prequels a lot more without the originals to compare to.

2023-01-17 21:21:13 +0000 UTCAwesome! When you say all of Star Wars, does that mean the cartoons as well? Or just the movies?

2023-01-17 21:21:08 +0000 UTCCan't wait! Really hope you guys do release order tho, chronological makes sense but movie quality wise I think release is better.

2023-01-17 21:20:59 +0000 UTCEither is perfectly fine, you'll get the story regardless. I do not have a source to cite, but I do know George Lucas wanted them to watched 1-6, with the prequels first after he made them. That doesn't make it right, but if that helps decision making there you go
