There are actually many more hours of film on pre-Vader Anakin than there are on Vader himself.īut, watching the movies in release order is good for one other reason: New Star Wars movies are still coming out and will presumably continue to do so for a long, long time. Having said that, it’s very possible savvy kids everywhere are spoiled on this fact even without having seen Star Wars for one minute if only because everyone knows that Vader is Luke’s father. Plus, watching the movies in release order preserves the biggest twist of the entire saga: that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father.

This is perhaps the easiest way to watch Star Wars with your kids if only because it will likely mirror your own experience with the movies. Mild spoilers for all of the Star Wars movies ahead. We’ve come up with four different logical ways you can watch the Star Wars movies for the first time. Is watching the classic trilogy before the prequels the way to go? And what about the “Star Wars Stories” Solo and Rogue One? These are age-old questions, but luckily we’ve tackled them in great detail ( more than once!). You also might want to avoid the Ewok movies with kids altogether, they’re actually super depressing.) (Yeah, I received a lot of emails from people mad we didn’t include the Ewok movies. (Just remember it happens after Return of the Jedi, but before The Force Awakens, cool? Baby Yoda is not actually Yoda, his name is Grogu! ) We’re also not going to include non-canon stuff. So, now that you can binge all of Star Wars on Disney+ should you watch from Episode I: The Phantom Menace, straight through Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker? Does it even matter which order you watch the Star Wars movies at all specifically with kids?įor the purposes of this piece, we’re gonna focus just on the movies, meaning we’ll consider The Mandalorian its own thing, and just sort of watch it whenever you want. This is the first time since you could buy a VHS boxed-set in 1996, every single Star Wars movie will be available to watch in the same spot. Right now, all of the Star Wars movies - including Solo: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - are streaming on Disney+. So, let’s talk about how to watch Star Wars movies! Also, the order of watching the Star Wars TV shows is an entirely separate topic from the order to watch the movies. Watching the Star Wars movies in order is a must for kids who love Baby Yoda, but what order to watch Star Wars in is a matter contested as hotly as whether Han shot first. On the other, The Mandalorian is a minuscule part of the entire saga. On the one hand, he is introducing a new generation of kids to the world of Star Wars. The popularity of Baby Yoda is something of a double-edged lightsaber.
