Star Wars Chronological Viewing Checklist
Guys. The end is near. If you, like everyone else on the planet, tuned in earlier this week for the final trailer for The Rise of Skywalker (aka Episode 9, aka the end of the Star Wars saga), you’re probably pretty pumped for December 20th. If you are a true nerd (like me), you’ve already got your tickets for December 19th. Now, back before The Force Awakens was gifted to us (don’t @ me, I love it), Matt and I sat down and watched the first six Star Wars movies. But given the epic-ness of TROS (and the addition of Disney+ to my life), I’ve decided to take this year’s viewing one (or ten) steps further. Much like my now infamous MCU challenge, I’m issuing myself a Star Wars challenge. I will be watching all of the movies, plus three series worth of TV shows before I head to the theater to watch Episode 9. This is not going to be easy-mostly because I will only have about a month to do it. But I am nothing if not totally willing to veg out in front of my TV all day for the good of all mankind. Now, I don’t think my SW posts will be as in depth as my MCU ones, just because I’m going to be short on time, but I will do check-ins throughout the process to let you know how I’m holding up. And of course, I would love for you to join me on this journey through insanity.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I am not as well-versed in SW as I am in the MCU. Of course, I didn’t use to be all that well-versed in the MCU either, but here we are. I put this list together based on numerous online sources and opinions from other nerds whom I trust. If there is something on this list you don’t agree with, cool cool. Just don’t tell me because this is my order and I’m sticking to it. If you would like to print this list out for yourself, click this little linky poo right here. I’m going to try to do some Insta Stories as I watch, and will probably do a fair amount of live tweeting, so if you aren’t already following me (rude), get on it. You can find me everywhere @falonloveslife.
Alright friends, wish me luck. I’m about to embark on a journey to a galaxy far, far away. But don’t worry, I know the force will be with me. Always.
