  The Star Wars saga primarily revolves around the Skywalker family's struggle against the Sith and the Galactic Empire, chronicling the rise, fall, and redemption of Anakin Skywalker, and the subsequent generations' fight for freedom in the galaxy.

  Core Saga Structure

  • Original Trilogy (Episodes IV, V, VI): Introduces Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo battling Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire, culminating in the destruction of the second Death Star and the fall of the Emperor. "Andor, Rogue one, ANH, ESB and TROJ, now that's a beautiful thing to see back to back"r/StarWars

  • Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I, II, III): Details Anakin Skywalker's journey from a gifted slave boy to a Jedi Knight, his seduction by the dark side, and his eventual transformation into Darth Vader, setting the stage for the Empire's rise. "We were finally going to see how Anakin turned into Vader."r/StarWars

  • Sequel Trilogy (Episodes VII, VIII, IX): Follows Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron as they join the Resistance against the First Order, grappling with the legacy of the Skywalker family and the resurgence of dark forces. "The real issue is the last three all revolve around Rey"r/StarWars

  Expanding Canon

  • Animated Series: Shows like The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Bad Batch fill in gaps, explore side stories, and develop characters between the main trilogies, often bridging events. "If TotJ is after TCW then mando should also be after TBoBF."r/StarWars

  • Live-Action Series: The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka expand the post-Original Trilogy era, showcasing the rebuilding galaxy and lingering threats after the Empire's defeat. "The exact timeframe placement is undetermined without an official premise/plot."r/StarWars

  • Video Games and Comics: These mediums often explore events and characters not featured in films or shows, providing deeper lore and expanding the universe. "I’d love to see this also including the canon comics and video games"r/StarWars

  Chronological Viewing Considerations

  • Release Order vs. Chronological Order: While films were released in a particular order, the internal timeline spans different eras, leading some Redditors to prefer watching in chronological story order to see how everything unfolds. "It was fun to do, and took awhile to get it all sorted out. Give it a try, seeing how everything unfolds in order is amazing."r/StarWars

  • Continuity and Canon: The Star Wars universe has a complex canon, with some elements like the Ewok movies or Holiday Special not considered part of the main story continuity by many Redditors. "Ewok movies and Holiday Special aren’t canon so you were right not to include them"r/StarWars
