When you’re done and that “book” is closed, you can pull in whatever “Anthology” stuff you enjoy, such as the Clone Wars TV shows or movies, the Han Solo spinoff, and Episode I.īut for some kind of contiguous viewing experience, I think Episode I should be skipped, because it provides mostly backstory to the Republic itself and political goings-on. In other words, when you’re watching “The Main Saga”, like maybe if you’re doing a Marathon or you’re introducing someone to Star Wars for the first time, watch in Machete Order: IV, V, II, III, VI. If you enjoy or want to share Episode I, I say view it as an Anthology movie, sort of like a prequel to the entire series. These movies are all going to take place at different times, between different Episodes, or before all of them. What I’m advocating though, is watching it sort of like an Anthology film - remember that we’re going to be getting Han Solo origin movies and Boba Fett spinoffs and Rogue One films, and so on, until Disney stops making money off Star Wars. Episodes II and III are, because we see how his father falls to the Dark Side, and we see elements of his path that are mirroring his father’s.īy all means, if you like Episode I, watch it. It’s been about skipping it because it’s not relevant to Luke’s journey. The point of Machete Order is not, and has never been, ignoring Episode I because it’s bad.

Hell, I think Episode I is probably a better movie than Episode II is. So let me be perfectly clear, I am not advising anyone to pull their Episode I disc out of their box set and throw it in the garbage. By far the most common complaint is that I am advocating never watching Episode I, and that’s a shame because it has the best podrace/duel/song/whatever. “Are you really advocating I never watch Episode I or show it to anyone?” There will be no spoilers of Episode VII here, though I will be talking about it a bit and I can’t predict what people will post in the comments, so if you haven’t seen it yet, make like a Tauntaun and split.

Since it’s been about 4 years since the original Machete Order post, and now that Episode VII is out, I thought I’d post a small update answering a lot of the questions I’ve been asked and responding to the most common criticisms of Machete Order. But at the same time, the reason I published the post in the first place was that I felt Machete Order “fixed” Star Wars for me personally, allowing me to use the relevant parts of the Prequels to make Return of the Jedi a better movie, so it’s really awesome that so many other people felt similarly. I didn’t create fanedits or anything truly difficult like that. I think this is an unnatural amount of praise - after all, I’m just a guy who watched some movies in the wrong order and skipped one, then wrote down why. In all seriousness, I’ve had thousands of people tell me I “fixed” Star Wars and made the saga more enjoyable for them. On the internet, that’s the equivalent of winning an Oscar, so thanks everyone! People only called for my public execution a couple times.

Considering I wrote a nearly 5,000-word essay on Star Wars, I’m pretty amazed that it was only a handful of times someone told me I was a loser neckbeard who needs to move out of my parents’ basement and get a girlfriend (I’m married with a kid by the way). So let me start out by thanking everyone for liking and spreading the original post - I’m truly floored by how well-received the post was. This year, over 1.5 million unique users visited the page. But then in the months before Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was released, it blew up like Alderaan, peaking at 50,000 visitors DAILY.

Wow, this Machete Order thing got big! After the post first “went viral” and got mentioned on, I started getting around 2,000 visitors to it per day, which I thought was a lot. Where Do Episode VII and Rogue One fit?.
