Right lada bit of an odd one...

What order do I watch Star Wars in? I have come across it on Kodi 1-6 but 1 was made on 99 and 4 in 77 I think,seems odd to me.

I haven't seen them and want to see them in correct sequence.

Depends if you want to watch in order of release or in chronological order.

1-3 take place before 4-6 but were released 20 years after them as prequels.

4-6 are the far superior films.

i'd watch 4-6, as originally released, then 1-3 if you liked 4-6, and then 1-6 if you fancy coming back to them at some stage, just make sure and put a weekend aside

Thanks for that.

So they started at 4 then? Really odd.

Indeed. Though i'm not sure if the storylines for 1-3 were there before 4-6 came out, if you get me! Maybe someone can clear it up

They just went back and added on 3 prequels which weren't all that great.

dahat · 04-01-2015 12:22AM

4-6 it is then, on 2-10 shift next week and wife working, kids in school so a film a day it is.

Thanks for the clear up lads.

That's a horrible shift to be on. Although I do know time to yourself can be a premium with kids so wouldn't be too bad the odd time!

The lonely shift I call it. Hard at times but beats the dole!

as brillant as anderson was taylor lost that game, dunno why he kept leaving himself 16/32 - he couldn't hit the double 8/16, dunno what the stats were but he missed about 10 darts in a row on those numbers early in the game and he just never looked like hitting them.

Day 1 of detox for me today. God I ate and drank some amount of crap over the two weeks of Xmas.

Back to running in the morning. Will see how the two week break effects me but it could be painful!

I was disappointed with Birdman.

Lemlin · 07-01-2015 05:49PM

Watched Looper last night. Thought it was very good. One of those films I kept meaning to watch but hadn't got round to it.

My son loves Transformers and I watched Age of Extinction last week. 2 hours and 45 minutes, I thought it would never end.

dahat · 07-01-2015 05:56PM

Got through 4-6 of Star Wars, 5 was the worst of them.

Gotta watch the prequels now I suppose.

That's some serious trolling!

Empire Strikes Back would generally be held up as one of the greatest sequels of all time and as the best of all 6 of the Star Wars films (so far, I have high hopes for Episode VII after what JJ Abrams did with the first new Star Trek film).

So to say it's the worst! On the internet of all places!?!

I know, just didn't hold me as much as the other two, I did like when Vader and Luke fought among other bits but preferred the first film (4) by a long way.

The bits where Luke and Yoda are chatting can be a bit slow, but the action at the beginning of the film is fantastic and the overall tone is much better than IV or VI in my opinion. No coincidence that it's only one which George Lucas didn't direct.

dahat · 07-01-2015 06:29PM

You seem quite knowledgeable on them so your opinion on 1-3, worth watching?

It's funny and I guess interesting how 20 to 30 years after your opinion is diametrically opposite to the general appreciation of these movies

The whole Star Wars saga is centered around Anakin Skywalker, how he became a great jedi, how his temper led him to the Dark Side and how his children (Luke in particular) somehow helped him to redeem himself.

So if you enjoyed the IV-VI movies, the I-III are definitely worth watching. I won't go on which trilogy is the best, in my opinion you just can't compare them. Not the same time, not the same context, not the same expectations. It's also a bit of a weird thing since you know how it's gonna end (especially episode III).

No, unless you're really interested. And that's as someone who went to see all three of them in the cinema.

dahat · 07-01-2015 09:02PM

I suppose interest alone in seeing how they look with a modern touch will make me watch the first trilogy. Definitely not as keen as I imagined I would be.

Lemlin · 07-01-2015 09:09PM

They're not a patch on the originals IMO. Hopefully Abrahams can restore the series to its glory.
