    How to watch Star Wars in order—even the shows
    Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Since filmmaker George Lucas introduced audiences to the ways of the Jedi with Star Wars (now titled A New Hope) in 1977, the chronicles of that galaxy far, far away have grown to 11 movies, nine animated shows, five TV series, and a slew of non-canon shows, miniseries, video games, books, and other media. Even if you just stick to the canon stuff, it can be overwhelming, especially if you’re trying to figure out how to watch Star Wars in order. But before we dive in, we’ll emphasize that there really isn’t a “correct” viewing order. There are several ways to enjoy the Star Wars universe as you proceed along your Jedi journey, and you may even be able to create your own method. Watch the Star Wars movies in order of release The Star Wars movie timeline spans several decades, starting with the original trilogy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The prequel trilogy dropped in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the sequel trilogy hit theaters in the 2010s. Various standalone films were released intermittently throughout this timeline, offering fans opportunities to explore specific characters and events more deeply. By choosing to watch the Star Wars movies in theatrical release order, you’ll experience what it was like to grow up with the series. Although this order doesn’t necessarily provide you with a cohesive timeline, each trilogy can stand on its own. They demonstrate complete arcs for key characters, yet tie in beautifully with the other trilogies. This viewing order allows you to experience the excitement and surprises of the original trilogy first, followed by the backstory-building prequels. Finally, you can witness the epic conclusion of the sequel trilogy. Watching this way can help you appreciate the evolution of the Star Wars universe and see how it has captivated audiences for decades.  Original trilogy The original trilogy introduces iconic characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca, taking viewers on a thrilling journey through the Rebel Alliance‘s fight against the evil Galactic Empire. These films set the foundation for the Star Wars universe. Episode IV: A New Hope (1977 movie) Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980 movie) Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983 movie) Prequel trilogy Then there’s the prequel trilogy, which delves into the origins of the Star Wars saga by exploring the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, as well as the events leading up to the Galactic Civil War. These films provide a deeper understanding of the complex political landscape underlying the action and provide some background information on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999 movie) Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002 movie) Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005 movie) Sequel trilogy Set decades after the events of the original trilogy, the sequel trilogy introduces a new generation of characters. It’s the first time audiences get to see Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, and others, and there are plenty of appearances by beloved characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and Han Solo. These films explore themes of redemption, identity, and the ongoing struggle between the light and dark sides of the Force. Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015 movie) Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017 movie) Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019 movie) If you want to throw in the two related movies that are not part of the trilogies, you can watch the Star Wars movies in this order: A New Hope  The Empire Strikes Back  Return of the Jedi  The Phantom Menace  Attack of the Clones  Revenge of the Sith  The Force Awakens  Rogue One (2016 movie) The Last Jedi  Solo (2018 movie) The Rise of Skywalker  How to watch the Star Wars movies in chronological order If you’re a fan of linear storytelling, you may want to watch the Star Wars movies in chronological order. This means starting with Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and progressing through the prequel trilogy before moving on to the original trilogy and concluding with the sequel trilogy. This will allow you to experience the story in the order in which events occur within the Star Wars universe. This list includes the two Star Wars universe theatrical releases that aren’t part of the trilogies: The Phantom Menace  Attack of the Clones  Revenge of the Sith  Solo  Rogue One  A New Hope  The Empire Strikes Back  Return of the Jedi  The Force Awakens  The Last Jedi  The Rise of Skywalker  Machete Order The Machete Order is a unique Star Wars viewing experience designed by fan Rod Hilton. It skips Episode I: The Phantom Menace because some viewers deem it less relevant to the overall narrative (and some fans also really, really dislike the first prequel). Machete Order preserves Darth Vader’s true identity until The Empire Strikes Back, enhancing the viewing experience and allowing for a more emotional and dramatic storyline. Episode IV: A New Hope  Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back  Episode II: Attack of the Clones  Episode III: Revenge of the Sith  Episode VI: Return of the Jedi  How to watch Star Wars in Rotten Tomato score order (from lowest to highest) We’ll admit that this is a chaotic way to approach the Star Wars universe. Rotten Tomatoes aggregates critics’ reviews, deeming them either “rotten” or “fresh.” It’s an imperfect system, but certainly one way to do things. Andor Season 2 recently set a record on the site for the highest ranked live-action Star Wars project. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (18 percent) Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (51 percent) Episode I: The Phantom Menace (54 percent) Episode II: Attack of the Clones (61 percent) The Book of Boba Fett (66 percent) Solo (69 percent) Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (79 percent) Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (82 percent) Obi-Wan Kenobi (82 percent) Rogue One (84 percent) Ahsoka (85 percent) Star Wars: The Bad Batch (88 percent) The Mandalorian (90 percent) Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (91 percent) Star Wars: Resistance (92 percent) Episode IV: A New Hope (93 percent) Episode VII: The Force Awakens (93 percent) Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (95 percent) Andor (97 percent) Star Wars: Rebels (98 percent) Star Wars: Visions (98 percent) Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi (100 percent) How to watch Star Wars in order—all of it Outside of the movies, Star Wars has expanded to include TV shows like The Clone Wars, Rebels, Andor, The Mandalorian, and The Acolyte, many of which have been produced since Disney bought Star Wars and Lucasfilm in 2012. Disney has, in fact, released an official timeline for these various Star Wars universe pieces, conveniently queued up when you select the Star Wars tab on Disney+ (you’ll need a subscription or a free trial). The Acolyte (2024 live-action series) Tales of the Jedi (2022 animated series) Episode I: The Phantom Menace  Episode II: Attack of the Clones  Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 animated film) Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 animated series) Episode III: Revenge of the Sith  Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021 animated series) Solo  Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022 live-action miniseries) Star Wars: Rebels (2014 animated series) Andor (2022 live-action series) Rogue One  Episode IV: A New Hope  Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back  Episode VI: Return of the Jedi  The Mandalorian (2019 live-action series) The Book of Boba Fett (2021 live-action miniseries) Ahsoka (2023 live-action miniseries) Star Wars: Resistance (2018 animated series) Episode VII: The Force Awakens  Episode VIII: The Last Jedi  Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker  Star Wars: Visions (2021 animated series) Disney has announced several upcoming Star Wars projects as well, including Star Wars: Starfighter starring Ryan Gosling and a film from Jon Favreau titled The Mandalorian & Grogu. FAQs Q. Should I watch Obi-Wan Kenobi before Star Wars? It’s not necessary to watch the Obi-Wan Kenobi series before watching the Star Wars movies, but doing so can provide additional context and depth to the character of Obi-Wan. However, the movies themselves provide enough information to completely understand the story.  Q. What is considered the best Star Wars movie?  Opinions on the best Star Wars movie vary among fans, but many consider The Empire Strikes Back the pinnacle of the franchise. Its darker tone, iconic plot twists, and memorable characters have made it a beloved favorite for many.

    Three ways business documentation is being transformed by GenAI
    Three ways business documentation is being transformed by GenAIPublished inNustory·2 min read·Just now--Having the right documentation is a huge part of business. Whether its contracts, RFPs, customer stories, product manuals, the list goes on. As much as business depends on documentation it also creates bottlenecks and bureaucracy: just think of trying to find the right information in a product manual that applies to your specific use case.AI is turning business documentation into something dynamic, and quite frankly, more useful: a living, evolving system that adapts in real time. Those contracts, reports, and RFPs are no longer static pages — they’re responsive, intelligent, and built to drive action.That’s what I’ve learned talking to Greger Ottosson and the team at Cube5 AI who are on a journey to reshape business documentation and, in turn, business itself:1. Documents that write themselvesGone are the days of manual drafting and endless revisions. AI-powered tools now generate, refine, and personalize documents on demand. Contract language adapts based on negotiation history. Compliance clauses auto-adjust for different jurisdictions. RFP responses are filled in seconds, pulling from vast datasets rather than human memory. Instead of static templates, AI enables documents to evolve in real time, reducing bottlenecks and accelerating decision-making.2. Smarter, more intuitive searchForget digging through archives or scrolling through PDFs. AI functions as an intelligent librarian, retrieving exactly what you need — instantly. Need to analyze past legal settlements with non-compete clauses? AI scans thousands of pages, synthesizing insights in seconds. Looking for the best supplier match in a complex RFP process? AI sorts through countless specifications to surface the right components. It’s not just about storing information — it’s about activating it.3. A new era of personalizationOne-size-fits-all documents are a relic of the past. AI enables hyper-personalization, reshaping content based on the needs of different audiences. Investors, legal teams, and executives each require a different lens on the same information — AI tailors reports, policies, and pitches accordingly. The ability to customize risk analysis, contract terms, or hiring assessments in real time means businesses can move faster, make better decisions, and engage stakeholders more effectively.The future: Beyond bureaucracyRigid, manual processes have long been the enemy of innovation and business growth. AI is the ultimate bureaucracy disruptor, eliminating administrative drag and enabling organizations to adapt at the speed of change. The businesses that embrace AI-driven documentation will operate with agility, while those clinging to outdated methods risk falling behind.To learn more, check out this Nustory article on how AI is making business documents smarter and this edition of the Business Schooled Podcast.This article was originally a post on Linkedin.

    Magic team unbans cards for Commander, but not the ones you expected
    Principal Magic: The Gathering designer Gavin Verhey announced that some cards are now legal to play once more in Commander, the trading card game’s most popular multiplayer format. Five cards in total were unbanned by publisher Wizards of the Coast. Conspicuously absent from that list, however, were the cards involved in last year’s controversial bans — Dockside Extortionist, Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, and Nadu, Winged Wisdom. Those cards are still banned, and will almost assuredly remain so until at least 2026. The announcement was made in a blog post on the game’s official website.The newly unbanned cards are Gifts Ungiven; Sway of the Stars; Braids, Cabal Minion; Coalition Victory; and Panoptic Mirror. Verhey said that all of these cards will now be included on the Game Changers List, which is part of an ongoing beta test of the so-called Commander Brackets system. The newly unbanned cards are each emblematic of different strategies, techniques, and styles of play. He said it’s the team’s hope that these unbans will excite the community and lead to interesting adaptations in the beloved Commander format.He also acknowledged that not acting further on Dockside Extortionist, Jeweled Lotus, and Mana Crypt in particular are not going to make everyone happy. (Apparently it’s assumed that everyone still hates Nadu, though.) He also provided quite a lot of the reasoning given by members of the new Commander Format Panel for not acting on those cards at this time:Opinions from the Commander Format Panel varied. Some believe Commander is more fun without them, others would like more time to see how the Commander Bracket system is adopted before doing anything here, and others felt it’s too soon to do anything with these cards. There were a few people who were open to doing something with Jeweled Lotus now, but that was not the majority opinion. The overwhelming majority of the panel did not want to do anything with any of these cards at this time.I will be transparent and say that I believe if any of these are ever to return, the most likely one is Jeweled Lotus due to its one-shot nature, iconic feel, and ability to help support high-mana value commanders. I want to be clear, this is not me saying that will ever happen, but that was the one among the panel with the most traction.In closing Verhey said that, as a nod toward returning stability to the format, there would be “no further changes to the banned list for the rest of this year.” The one caveat being, of course, that “if a new or unbanned card begins to become generally reviled [...] we can break that seal and act earlier.”See More:
