Which reminds me (and is off topic). Ever see the “reimagined” 2001 movie, “Red Planet”?
In some ways it was better than the original because, well, I didn’t find myself falling asleep through parts of it!

Yes. And I’m not just agreeing because I’m an old lady who waxes nostalgic for the good old days. Cinematically, the movies hold up, they were designed by Lucas specifically to not ever be dated- that’s why they’re set in a galaxy long ago and far away. Even Leia buns were picked because they weren’t evocative of any commonly known time or place (they’re patterned on women from the Mexican Revolution, but who knows that, really?) He choose formal English with no slang- which would date the movies. And of course, the theme is the hero’s journey which is timeless, yet speaks to everyone.
Lucas set out to make a movie for the ages, and he succeeded. Disney was too dumb (or, more likely, too arrogant) to recognize that.

That actually might be the MOST evil way to kill someone.
There’s a cure for that. It’s not too late to save yourself.

Yes, I know, but in which order? This has been my delima.

Start with IV A New Hope. Then V Empire Strikes Back. Then VI Return of the Jedi. Those are the best ones and the original.

So, DH says 4, 5, 6 than 1, 2, 3 (how most people viewed when it was new). DS, who is my movie buddy, says 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Neither will commit to watching with me though, lol. I know I confuse with the numbers, but I mean chronologically, not in order of coming out date.
You can skip 1, 2, and 3 entirely. No need to watch them at all.

So, watch the first three that came out? Skip the “prequels” that came after?
Skip the prequels. Yes. I mean, you can watch them. But they are a disappointment.

My DH got me to watch them a few years ago for the first time ever. We started with 4, 5, 6. He warned me that the graphics were dated, but I fell in love with them regardless and honestly I didn’t think they were bad at all. I guess I impress easily haha. I did not enjoy 1, 2, and 3. Sure the graphics were better, but something about them just wasn’t there for me. I bet if you turn a movie on the boys will sneak in and watch with you

Hmm. We watch LOTR (extended editions) every year. The Hobbit movies were…like the Star Wars prequels…a disappointment. We don’t even bother with them.
