Frequently Asked Questions
How many Star Wars movies are there?
There are nine films in the main Skywalker saga, plus two live-action standalone films, Rogue One (2016) and Solo (2018).
What order should I watch Star Wars in?
If you have never seen any of it, release order is the safest choice: the original trilogy sets up reveals that the prequels would otherwise spoil. Chronological order works better on a rewatch, when the surprises are already known.
Where does Rogue One fit in?
Rogue One leads directly into the original 1977 film. It ends moments before A New Hope begins, so watching the two back to back is very effective.
Where does Andor fit in?
Andor is a prequel to Rogue One, following Cassian Andor in the years before that film. Watch it before Rogue One.
Do I need to watch the animated series?
No. The Clone Wars deepens the prequel era considerably and is well loved, but the films stand on their own without it.
Is the Skywalker saga finished?
Yes. The Rise of Skywalker (2019) closed out the nine-film Skywalker story. Newer projects explore other corners and eras of the galaxy instead.
