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.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. Close out the series with The Rise of Skywalker. Start with The Force Awakens and follow it with The Last Jedi.

Once you’re done with the prequels, watch the newer Disney films. View the Disney releases in order, including the “Stories” if you want. 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).

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.

Some adult viewers that are interested in the action and main story opt to cut the prequels altogether.

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).

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. Close out the second trilogy with Revenge of the Sith to complete Darth Vader’s backstory and learn about Luke’s origin.

Start with The Phantom Menace, then watch Attack of the Clones. Once you’ve completed Luke Skywalker’s story arc, move on to the prequels.

Watch the prequels after you’ve finished the original trilogy.
