After listening to Kermode and Mayo's Film Review (the BBC's flagship film review programme) on Radio 5 Live yesterday, I have come to a realisation – there is a fundamentally correct order in which to watch the Star Wars films.
On the surface this may seem like a fairly trivial subject, but any Star Wars fan will understand the serious nature of what we're talking about here. Watching these movies in the incorrect sequence will ruin the viewing experience, spoiling the little magic that is left in this classic sci-fi saga.
Here's the perfect order to watch Star Wars:
- A New Hope
- Empire Strikes Back
- Return of the Jedi
- The Phantom Menace
- Attack of the Clones
- Revenge of the Sith
- A New Hope
- Empire Strikes Back
- Return of the Jedi
Why watch the films in this order? Firstly, you need to watch the originals before the prequels so that you don't spoil the reveal in Empire (which is given away in Revenge of the Sith). Secondly, you need to watch the originals again after the prequels to get rid of the bad taste left by Jar Jar Binks and Hayden Christensen.
