My girlfriend hadnt seen starwars and wanted ti catch up. We started with the original trilogy and then watched rogue one.

as far as I'm concerned, we have now watched the best sw movies. The rest don't count.

But I wanna maximize the experience for her. What should we watch next? 1-3, 7-9?

The mandalorian and then andor and call it done?
 
Watch the prequels now, and don't tell her they're not as good. Just let her experience it pure and then she can tell you afterwards if she liked them.

If she loves Star wars after all that then she can watch mandalorian. I didn't really like andor.

Under no circumstances do you ever show her the Abrams trilogy. In fact, tell her if she ever acknowledges their existence then you'll dump her.
 
The ewok movies... and then that's it. You're all done
 
Haven't bothered with most of the recent Star Wars movies / tv shows as read enough bad reviews. I did think Rogue One was excellent though, especially the ending.

Personally thought Force Awakens was pretty good too.
 
Trying to decide if the best way to appreciate the PT is to watch before or after the abomination that was the ST...

Hard to decide, given the gap of time some of us had to wait between trilogies, I remember binging Ep1-6 with my daughter and her not understanding why things were so different...
 
Watch Andor and Mando.

Ahsoka was OK but kind of like EP 3, where there were some good scenes but the overall series/movie was so-so.

If you want to show her the series with the greatest potential in the history of history that falls flat on its face into a pile of shit, show her Obi-Wan Kenobi. How the hell you could not make something spectacular out of Prime Vader and a rejuvenated Obi-Wan is beyond me.

I think the correct order is to watch then in the order they came out.

So 4,5,6 and then 1,2,3.

Going in chronological order doesn't add anything to the story, but by going in the order that they were released, you have questions arise that are answered later, like how and why did Anakin turn bad.

That's a much more satisfying way to experience it IMO.

The most important thing though is that there is no sequel trilogy. It must never be acknowledged. It's simply poor fan fiction.
 
If you haven't watched Andor, you need to rectify that immediately. It's by far the best piece of Star Wars media since the original trilogy. Hell, I'd go so far as to say it's better than the OT, but depending on how much nostalgia you have for it, your opinion may differ.
 
I recently watched The Empire Strikes Back for the first time in many years. Damn, what a classic. And it really sort of contextualizes much of that series. As far as I’m concerned you have the original trilogy- varying levels of awesome- entertaining entries like Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One and some duds as well. But I’m thoroughly convinced now that nothing is ever going to touch A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back.

I always thought ROTS had a decent argument for coming close to ROTJ but that’s about it.

Prequels have their highs and lows but I think they are, at the end of the day, better than the recent trilogy. Watching Empire, I still had that sense of watching something that was great. Even a relatively entertaining film like The Force Awakens is more like something redundant of something that was great. Being reverent of a previous film is cool but you gotta bring more to the table than that.

Watched the first two episodes, got too bored to continue. Mandalorian was fine tho (never watched the newest season so idk about that).

Your loss. Andor has a lot of build-up, but it pays it all off in spades.
 
Tbabks fellas. I think we have the answer. Well watch andor next, and maybe the force awakens before that but fuck eps 1-3. Maybe we'll watch 3 for the vader story.

Rogue 1 might be my favourite sw movie. Empire strikes back is pretty fucking good , too. Probably a tie.

K2s0 is the better sassy Droid than c3p0

Space Balls is next in the series.
 
I agree with Space Balls.
Also, watch Hidden Fortress. It's the inspiration for Star Wars.
 
I would say Andor (since you just watched Rogue One) and the prequel trilogies.
