My daughter wants to watch star wars for the first time.

Do I do it in order of release or chronologically based on the story. Thinking order of release because I can't be bothered watching the new ones...

Neither. Just show her Mel Brook's 'Space Balls' and tell her it's the whole saga in one go.

That's not a bad shout!

Start with Rogue One, then do the original trilogy. Bin the rest.

Start with Rogue One, then watch Andor, then tell her nothing else was ever released including the original trilogy which has aged horrendously.

Yep.

After seeing the new Beverly Hills Cop movie, another 48 Hours sequel would be boss...
Except that Nolte is a complete mess these days.

Just watch Star Wars, Empire strikes back, then bail as everything else is garbage.

I watched "Kompromat" a French film based loosely on real events. A French theater director lives in Siberia and puts on a racy play, which seems to anger the local authorities; after the opening night, the director goes out with friends and starts dancing with one of the women who worked on the play--she is the daughter-in-law of the local FSB agent. This results in a series of accusations of pedophilia and eventually a conviction and house-arrest of the theatre director. So he must escape.

I liked it. On Kanopy (in the USA)

Went to the theater Friday after work to see 'Longlegs' I personally really enjoyed it. It is a suspenseful slow burn, which most don't seem to like. Very few jump scares. The marketing of the film was excellent as you can see with the trailer. Highly recommend it.

Depends on how deep you want to go. If you are looking at taking her through all of them then there are quite a few routes to take. I would definitely start with A New Hope and then Empire. At that point you can jump back and do Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith. Then Return of the Jedi and finally the final trilogy. You can’t ruin the big reveal at the end of Empire.

I would personally just do them as they were released. And then add in Rogue One and Andor. Also completely fine to sack off the prequels and the third trilogy if she isn’t liking them that much.

Maybe just bin the whole Star Wars thing and turn her into a Trekkie?

@ClausThomsen can give you some guidance in that department.

I think you may have dreamed this..

Or it was from a sketch show!!

This did bug me for a while, so I did some searching and this was all I could find:


Close, but no cigar.

The newest ones are awful, but the prequels are good movies and fun for kids, I'd start there

It depends.

If someone is likely to have a meltdown when any female (apart from the one who gets chained up in a gold bikini) is given even a slightly empowering role or gets upset if the perfect male hero shows even a modicum of negative character development then I'd recommend Star Wars.
