Reddit Names Unlikely Star Wars Movie as a Perfect Way to Get Into Franchise
Not only does the universe have 9 movies, but many TV series, hundreds of books and comics. So where do you start with people who are just beginning to wonder about a galaxy far, far away?
The Star Wars franchise has been a cult favorite since its inception in 1977.
The epic space opera has spawned numerous sequels, prequels, TV shows, and merchandise, making it a pop culture phenomenon.
However, not everyone has seen the movies, and for some, catching up on all the lore and characters may seem like a daunting task. So where do we start in 2023?
Many fans suggest watching the Star Wars movies in chronological order, starting with Episode I: The Phantom Menace and ending with Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
But that might scare people who have to watch 6 movies in a row and then the Disney trilogy.
Reddit users decided to help and created a thread that went viral within minutes as many Star Wars fans could relate to the experience of introducing someone to the franchise.
The comments section was filled with tips, debates and one unusual suggestion — the first film to watch is the Rogue One.
Rogue One is a standalone movie that takes place immediately before the events of the original Star Wars film, A New Hope.
It provides a bridge between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy, and tells the story of a group of rebels who band together to steal the plans for the Death Star, which the evil Empire plans to use to crush the rebellion.
Rogue One is a great way to find out if you like Star Wars or not.
The movie has the classic charm of the universe created by George Lucas, but the story goes through more mature events that might attract the new viewer.
The movie is also full of special effects and action scenes, and the iconic appearance of Darth Vader will give even the least dedicated audience a chill.
The Star Wars franchise remains a beloved cultural touchstone that has inspired generations of fans and creators.
From its iconic soundtrack to its unforgettable characters and settings, it's a testament to the power of storytelling and imagination.
And as the Reddit post shows, it's never too late to discover the magic of the galaxy far, far away.
