Can we skip Phantom Menace?

You can skip The Phantom Menace and miss almost nothing. If you are to understand how Anakin starts on his mythological journey of the hero, then progresses into the darkside, then yes. You should definitely watch it first, since the prequels (and arguably the rest of the saga) are all about his character.

Do I really need to watch Phantom Menace?

For anyone new to the series, it’s a serviceable entry into the saga. It’s nowhere near as accomplished as the three original films and despite many claims otherwise, it also isn’t the worst film in the series.

Can I skip the Star Wars prequels?

The short answer is NO, you don’t HAVE to watch Episodes 1-3 in order to enjoy Episode 7 (and presumably Episode 8, but it’s too early to tell). However, by NOT watching the prequel trilogy, you will be missing out on a lot of universe-defining lore.

What’s the best way to watch Star Wars for the first time?

“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.”

Where do I start with Star Wars?

Which Star Wars should I watch first?

A New Hope (1977) While technically the sixth movie, chronologically, in the Star Wars franchise, A New Hope is worth visiting first in your re-watch purely because it’s the start of everything. It’s also the only Star Wars film that treats viewers as if they’ve never watched the saga before.
