I'm now a Star Wars fan

[Maddy McCall]

I saw the movie yesterday. Awesome.

Can someone tell me the sequence of all Star Wars movies? That's where I'm confused. I want to rent all of them from netflix, but I need to know the sequence.

Thanks for pushing me to take the yungun to go see it yesterday. I didn't even drink a daiquiri--the movie was THAT interesting. :D

Edited out a comment so as not to hurt anyone's feelings.

1. They all have Episode names in front of them

The order they should be viewed in:

Episode 1, The Phantom Menace (4th)
Episode 2, Attack of the Clones (5th)
Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith (6th)
Episode 4, A New Hope (originally released 1st in 1977)
Episode 5, The Empire Strikes Back (released 2nd)
Episode 6, Return of the Jedi (3rd)

[Maddy McCall]

11. Thank YOU!

[Hatalles]

2. Welcome to the club. =)

Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Episode IV: A New Hope
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

[Maddy McCall]

12. Thanks so much

Is Revenge of the Sith the final Star Wars movie that Lucas will make?

[Hatalles]

18. So he says, yes.

But there's a couple TV series in the works, one live-action and another animated. The animated one will probably be a continuation of the current Cartoon Networks "Clone Wars" series... the live-action series will take place between Ep. 3 and 4 and deal with original characters plus some minor characters from the films.

3. Here you go!

1. Phantom menace
2. Attack of the Clones
3. Revenge of the Sith :)
4. Star Wars (A New Hope)
5. Empire Strikes Back (IMO, the best of the series)
6. Return of the Jedi

You can get all of them thru net flix expect for, of course, Sith. You may also want to check out the Clone Wars DVD, which bridges the story between Clones and Revenge.

Enjoy!

13. Thanks!

I'll certainly do that!

[meegbear]

4. We're not gonna tell you until you put on a costume

Princess Leia will be fine.

[Maddy McCall]

14. I may put it on, but I am not going in public like that.

:D

[LynneSin]

5. Aren't you glad we made you go

:bounce:

[Maddy McCall]

16. YES! And I'm glad I didn't drink during the movie.

After the movie, I drove down to Ponchatoula and saw the sex cult church. That was the freakiest feeling I've ever felt. I'll post about that later.

:hi:

[SheepyMcSheepster]

6. well...

it goes like this:
episode I: The Phantom Menace
episode II: Attack of the Clones
episode III: Revenge of the Sith
episode IV: A New Hoope
episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
episode VI: Return of the Jedi

[Maddy McCall]

17. So, would it be best to watch them in that order?

Or start with Episode IV.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

34. actually

it would probably be better to start with IV-VI and then watch I-III

or it really doesn't matter much.........just watch them :)

[Enraged_Ape]

35. Episodes 1 and 2 are not that great

They are, in fact, pretty weak in the overall scheme of things.

I agree with Sheepy: If I were you, I would go right into Episodes 4 through 6--the adventures of Luke and Leia (Anakin's kids). In fact, you will find that the story picks right up from where you just left off (although 19 years later). Then if you feel like you need some more back story, attempt watching Episodes 1 and 2. But let me warn you about a character named Jar Jar Binks...

[VelmaD]

7. They have these neat little episode numbers...

1 through 6

Sorry, I'm feeling a little snotty since I'm one of those "loons" who has been a fan since childhood.

[Maddy McCall]

19. Velma, I'l sorry.

I honestly was joking.

I dressed up like a vampire to go meet Ann Rice when I was younger. Please know that I don't really consider people who dress up to go to see Star Wars loons. I really don't think that...and wish that I could have encountered some people dressed up yesterday.

[VelmaD]

25. OK then...we're cool

Just hit a little button I didn't know was there. I've caught a lot of crap over liking scifi and being a geek girl and I probably over-reacted a bit.

[Aristus]

26. Hey, Vel. You got any photos of yourself in Leia's 'slave girl' outfit?

Would you like to buy some? :evilgrin:

BTW, have we had a chance to talk together about Revenge of the Sith yet? My memory is so terrible.

[VelmaD]

27. Nope...we haven't...

pm me and tell me what you thought. :)

[Aristus]

28. Damn! That was a quick response!

Liking that! B-)

Stay close to your message box; here it comes.

[rene moon]

8. ok, here goes

Episode I--The Phatom Menace
Ep II--Attack of the Clones
EpIII--Revenge of the Sith
Ep IIII--A New Hope (the first "Star Wars"---1977)
Ep V---The Empire Strikes Back
Ep VI--Return of the Jedi


Glad to know you are a fan! I love Star Wars---I am such a nerd!

[Maddy McCall]

20. Yes, I am turning into a Star Wars nerd.

I never realized the movies were this great. Can't wait to start watching all of them. :D

[GOPisEvil]

9. Well...they were released in the order of 4-6 and then 1-3.

So, if you started at episode 1, and went through 6, you'd be chronologically correct, even though not in orderof release.

[Maddy McCall]

21. Ok...that's how we'll watch them.

:hi: GOPisEvil.

[Ladyhawk]

10. LOL...would you disown me if I told you I wore a Next Generation

uniform to a Sci-Fi convention once? I was thin back then with long blond hair. Damn, I looked good in it, too! I still have it, but never in a million years could I fit into it.

When I found a parking place in Sacramento, I sat there and asked myself, "Do I really want to wear a Star Trek uniform? After a few Klingons, Cardassians and Vulcans walked past, I decided a NG uniform wasn't so bad. :shrug:

As for Star Wars, I do have a kick-ass Episode IV, V and VI T-shirt and a glow-in-the-dark Darth Maul T-shirt. If you don't disown me over the Star Trek uniform, I don't think you'll disown me over the T-shirts. At least, I hope you won't. :D

Here's a South Park rendition of the Darth Maul T-shirt:

Here I am in my IV, V and VI T-shirt:



My, it's been a few years. ^ This is pre-LASIK, pre-weight-gain Ladyhawk. The shirt is lighter in weight and color, but I still wear it. :) It's one of my faves.

______________________________________________

This is post-LASIK, post spinal-fusion Ladyhawk (within the last few weeks...see the scar? :D) Naughty Ladyhawk! She took off her cervical collar!

[ComerPerro]

15. I'm afraid you are going to have to post a picture of your Trekkie outfit

:)

[Maddy McCall]

23. I second this!

[Ladyhawk]

33. Somewhere I have some grainy pics.

Even though they're not of good quality, I'll scan and post them should I run across them. :D

[Maddy McCall]

22. Cool!

Now I guess Star Trek is the next thing I need to watch.

Like I said above, I dressed up like a vampire to go meet Ann Rice at a book signing. It was lots of fun to wear the gear. :D

[sir_captain]

24. Just be prepared for the fact that

episodes 1 and 2 aren't very good.

Personally, I'd go watch IV-VI first and then go back and watch the first two. It'll actually make more sense that way.

[nytemare]

30. I agree

I felt as if the only reason I was watching 1&2 was to get me to 4...I was hoping 3 wouldn't be the same way, and was pleasantly suprised.

I think Jake Lloyd ruined it for me. The kid couldn't act enough to sell Count Chokula, let alone give the impression he would grow up to kill Count Dooku.

3 was awesome. The Emperor rules!

[stellanoir]

29. but more importantly . . .

to combat your son's diabolical Vadar mask. . .mastered your Yoda impersonation, have you ?

[Maddy McCall]

31. Yes!

And on his nerves, I have got. :D

[stellanoir]

32. Yay

Now master a few Jedi mind tricks, you should.

May the force be with you.

[Dukkha]

36. now that you have started down this path

Forever will it dominate your destiny!

[nytemare]

38. But, don't underestimate the power of the Emperor!

Or....suffer your father's fate, you will!

[Crunchy Frog]

37. Glad you liked it Maddy. I thought it was great.

I guess there's two different orders you could watch them in, either the order in which they were made, which would be episodes 4-6 followed by episodes 1-3, or in story line order which would be 1-6 in order. Or you could watch 'em all twice and do it both ways.

[MrSlayer]

39. I would watch them in 1-6 order if I was just coming into it.

Don't be dissuaded by people saying Episodes I and II sucked because that's bullshit. One obnoxious character does not spoil the great effects and overall story of two entire films. I think you'll get a much better "grand finale" effect from episodes IV, V and VI if you start at Episode I.
