Every Star Wars film and series in order
The best order to watch Star Wars is story order: start with The Acolyte, then Tales of the Jedi, and finish with Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker. That's 43 films and series out so far, about 221 hours. Short on time? The 13 essentials take about 40 hours. In release order, Star Wars starts with Episode IV – A New Hope (1977).
Star Wars spans centuries, from the High Republic to the First Order, and the films and series jump around within it. This is the whole saga in story order, with the animated series placed where they happen.
Short on time? The essentials are the nine Skywalker saga films and The Mandalorian, which lead into The Mandalorian and Grogu.
