It’s just one of those things that always escaped me, as I never had all that much interest in sci-fi. A slight interest was rekindled, though, when I started reading Joseph Campbell’s works in earnest…so I will actually break down and watch one. I’ve seen Spaceballs, but I know that’s not an adequate penance, padre. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa… |

OK, so a pal told me to start with the original ones, so that’d be 4-6, right? Whole thing kinda confuses me. coldenhaulfield |

Then the prequels, which take place 32, 22, and 19 years prior to 4. And then the sequels, which both take place 30 years after 6. There's two ways you could go about it, in my view: -- 4-6, then 1-3 (7-8 optional) -- 4-5, then 1-3, then 6 (7-8 optional) |

I like the effect of the end of Empire flashing back into the past. Everything being shiny and new in the PT makes it feel like a dream or nostalgia compared to the OT after ESB and when you go back into ROTJ. |

But OK, I was a latecomer too because I am a Star Trek snob, but was wrong. Warning: I watched I-III (Prequels) first. This is the wrong order because it will kill the the Original Trilogy, especially the first '77 film which will look like a cheap, old kiddy film after the dystopian moral drama of Revenge of the Sith and lack the best characters like Palpatine. Thus:
Step 1: Watch the Old Trilogy IV-VI first at all costs; its a simple fairy tale about a zero becoming a tragic hero.
Step 2: Then watch the Prequels - this is about the sytematic corruption and destruction of democracy and the rise of the Empire.
Step 3: Then NEVER EVER watch the Sequels - these are garbage about nothing but rehashing everything.
Then buy a X-Wing, light saber etc for your man cave. May the Force be with you.

Well, depends on what you mean, Tristan's Journal. I’ve seen some of the Marvel flicks, but neither of the Guardians of the Galaxy ones, so I hadn’t really heard of that “raccoon turd” thing until you posted the video. I just never got into sci-fi at all (and I may be younger than some of the folks here). I do like ‘simple fairy tales,’ which is more or less what interested me about this whole thing; I’ve been reading a lot of Joseph Campbell recently. Indeed, I have heard that, happily for me, the series is more a fantasy set in space ( à la, say, Lewis’s Space Trilogy) than “hard” science-fiction. |

Oh, I’ve known him for a while now. I looked him up when you crazy kids first started posting.  I’ll definitely let you know when Star Wars comes in and I watch it. |
