If you want the authentic experience of seeing the films in their original order, watch them in the order that they were released. This is considered by many fans to be the best method for viewing the Star Wars films, but there are several downsides. The tone shift from Return of the Jedi to The Phantom Menace may be jarring, and the narrative can get kind of confusing since you’re watching the films out of narrative order. If you’re planning on watching the movies with younger children, starting with the older films may be kind of tough if they’re used to contemporary animation. Starting with 1977’s A New Hope and ending with 1983’s Return of the Jedi, view the original trilogy first. The original films are considered to be classics by critics and fans alike, and starting with the iconic Luke Skywalker’s storyline is an excellent way to begin the series. There are 2 different versions of the original trilogy: the original release, and the 1997 remastered version. The remastered version isn’t narratively different—it has all the same characters and plot points—but the animation is updated. This may be a good choice if you’re watching with younger viewers, although film purists tend to shy away from the updated versions. Once you’ve completed Luke Skywalker’s story arc, move on to the prequels. Start with The Phantom Menace, then watch Attack of the Clones. Close out the second trilogy with Revenge of the Sith to complete Darth Vader’s backstory and learn about Luke’s origin. You’ll also get to see Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker when they were kids, which is fun if you like making connections between films.  The prequels aren’t essential to understanding everything that happens in the original trilogy, and their tone is radically different than the other Star Wars films (they’re goofier and emphasize the comedy). Some adult viewers that are interested in the action and main story opt to cut the prequels altogether. The prequels take place narratively before the original trilogy, meaning that the events in these films happened before the start of 1977’s A New Hope. This can become a tough narrative to follow if you’re taking long breaks between viewings, since the events at the end of the last prequel (Revenge of the Sith) lead into the first film (A New Hope). Once you’re done with the prequels, watch the newer Disney films. Start with The Force Awakens and follow it with The Last Jedi. Close out the series with The Rise of Skywalker. You can watch Rogue One after The Force Awakens and Solo after The Last Jedi if you want, but those 2 films are called “stories” and are inessential to the main story if you want to skip them.   The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker are collectively called the “sequel trilogy.” They’re an extension of the main story line from the prequels and the original trilogy.  Rogue One and Solo are called “stories” because they both have the subtitle A Star Wars Story. They provide some context and backstory for the main films, but they aren’t mandatory viewing. It’s totally up to you whether you want to include them or not, although they’re critically considered to be solid additions to the Star Wars universe.
