Haha, I disagree with all of these! I say, in order to get the most narrative impact for your buck, do it like this:
THE ALL THE FEELS ORDER
– A New Hope
– Revenge of the Sith
Then, to understand why we should care about Darth Vader, ramp up the tension, and avoid any spoilers, watch…
– The Phantom Menace
– Attack of the Clones
– Revenge of the Sith
Then, to understand the struggle, triumph, and tragedy of Han, I would recommend watching…
– Solo: A Star Wars Story
Now, the next movie ought to have a TON of emotional charge…
– Return of the Jedi
…and finally, finish out with the finale…
– The Force Awakens
– The Last Jedi
– The Rise of Skywalker
Because Rogue One, Rebels, Resistance, and the Mandalorian don’t focus on the Skywalker Saga characters and don’t really affect them emotionally, I would leave these for another day, especially for a casual fan or an eager first-timer. If you really care, I would insert the Clone Wars show into the watchlist just before Revenge of the Sith, but the show is a truly deep time commitment for not a lot of emotional pull – aside from the core Asoka storyline.
