“I was impressed the prequels had their own identity,†lauds Hamill. “They were criticized because they were exposition-heavy and more cerebral and probably, like he said back in 1976, they weren't as commercial. It's a darker story.
Counts as low as 2,000 midi-chlorians per cell provided no sensitivity to the Force; an average Human had less than 2,500 per cell, while a mildly Force-sensitive being such as Nova Stihl had a count in excess of 5,000.
Star Wars fans decided they hate Jar Jar Binks mostly because they weren't the target audience of the character (though it also has to be said that the character had many, many flaws that blocked him from connecting with children) and because his presence messed with the tone of the movies.
If you look at The Empire Strikes Back, it features sets that were specifically built to make them feel bigger than they really were; they feature points that draw your attention using forced perspective and camera focus. The Star Wars prequels simply lack that quality, which results in a very flat image.
Jar Jar Binks was a Gungan male military commander and politician who played a key role during the Invasion of Naboo and the Clone Wars that culminated in the fall of the Galactic Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire.
He was the son of Shmi Skywalker, a slave who conceived a child without a father. His blood contained over twenty-thousand midi-chlorians, surpassing that of Grand Master Yoda and all other Jedi in the galaxy.
(It should be noted that in the chronology of the "Star Wars" fictional world, however, the prequels come before the events of "A New Hope.") Dennis Quaid agreed. "See the first one that was out, and then watch them in order. That way you get the whole experience, just as we earthlings did.
The Phantom Menace (I): There's a lot of hate out there for this movie and some lists say to skip it entirely. DO NOT SKIP IT. It's not a great movie, and few fans like Jar Jar Binks, but it's important back story. The Clone Wars is not essential viewing, but it's great if you want more Jedi/Anakin/Obi-Wan stories.
Star Wars superfan Rod Hilton suggests a unique way of watching the franchise on his blog, Absolutely No Machete Juggling, which has since gathered steam. Called the “Machete Order,†Hilton argues that there's no need ever to see Episode I of the series, as it's irrelevant to the larger story.
Watching all the movies again, starting with Star Wars Episode I, was an interesting way to watch them. There are some great battle scenes, and if you completely ignore Jar Jar, the movie isn't THAT bad. It isn't THAT good either — but still worth a watch every few years for this Star Wars fan.
There's good news: You actually don't need to watch any of them before you go see J.J. Abrams' "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." It introduces you to everyone you'll need to know about in "The Force Awakens," including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Darth Vader — even Chewbacca, the wookiee.
The simple, short answer is no; you won't be able to fully understand The Rise of Skywalker if it's your first Star Wars film. But, unfortunately, if you've never seen another Star Wars film, you might feel like there's too much going on.
So, chronological order would be:The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Solo, Rogue One, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi … and then, The Rise of Skywalker.
How to watch the Star Wars movies in chronological order:
- Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)
- Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2020)
- Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)
- Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
- Star Wars Rebels (2014-2018)
- Rogue One (2016)
- Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
“Start with one,†Lucas says of the correct way of watching the Star Wars movies. “That's the way to do it right: one, two, three, four, five, six. That's the way they're supposed to be done. Just because it took a long time to film it doesn't mean you don't do it in order.â€
George Lucas' Star Wars Prequel Trilogy are some of the most underrated films in the entire Star Wars universe. The trilogy tells the origin story of Anakin Skywalker and his path to becoming the iconic villain Darth Vader
1. "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) Stepping aside and letting director Irvin Kershner and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan take the reins of the sequel to "Star Wars" was the smartest decision Lucas ever made.
While Revenge of the Sith is widely regarded to be the best of the Star Wars prequels and was the only one to receive mostly positive reviews from critics, The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones both have plenty to offer, too.
The reboot would include unused footage of Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker filmed during the sequel trilogy. According to the Express report, the scene was filmed during the making of the sequel trilogy. The rumor also suggests that George Lucas would return as director for the new miniseries.
Since then, the only previously published material still considered canon are the six original trilogy/prequel trilogy films, novels (where they align with what is seen on screen), the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series and film, and Part I of the short story Blade Squadron.
A prequel is a narrative work that occurs before the original story. These can often be in the form of backstory, expository, or side story. Likewise, sequels continue the story after the events of the original.

Interquels are stories that take place in between two preceding stories and serve as a sequel to one, and a prequel to another simultaneously. For example, if 'movie C' is an interquel of 'movies A' and 'B', the events of 'movie C' take place after the events of 'movie A', but before the events of 'movie B'.
: a work (such as a novel or a play) whose story precedes that of an earlier work.
