Star Wars: Rebels

--- Quote from: LeeC on 18 Dec 2013, 21:29 ---My issue is more the fact that everything is all old republic stuff and I just really want to see more of the rebellion stuff. Sure the original trilogy has its faults but the prequel trilogy just has way more glaring ones, to me anyways. I still enjoy them but if I ever introduce anyone to the saga I always start with 4-6 then 1-3.

Prepare to nerd out, there are several ways of viewing the Star Wars hexology/saga.
1) Theatrical release order: IV, V, VI, I, II, III
2) Chronological order: I, II, III, IV, V, VI
3) The 'Ernst Rister order': IV, V, I, II, III, VI
4) The 'Machete order': IV, V, II, III, VI (note that Episode I is missing)
I like the last two because they actually focus on making the story make sense. From the original blog post that deals with the 'Machete Order':
--- Quote ---Every character established in Episode I is either killed or removed before it ends (Darth Maul, Qui-Gon, Chancellor Valorum), unimportant (Nute Gunray, Watto), or established better in a later episode (Mace Windu, Darth Sidious).

He's kind of got a point. Without relying on the Plinket commentary, Episode 1, whether you love or hate it, is kind of irrelevant in this trilogy, and the saga itself. The idea that the story is left with the cliffhanger of Episode V, before fleshing out the story of Anakin Skywalker via Episodes II and III makes for a more satisfying conclusion in VI.
If you're going to introduce someone new to Star Wars, make it either options 3 or 4. Source
LeeC:
A friend of mine has never seen star wars. I had planned to do the Machete order but everyone at the office demanded I let him watch it using the theatrical order. So far he has seen 4-6 and 1 and 2. There is one difference though. I am adding this between 2 and 3.
Metope:
I'd never seen it either until recently, when my boyfriend who is a huge Star Wars geek showed it to me. He told me to watch 1, 2 and 3, and never bother with the rest.
Lupercal:
Lee - good call on the Clone Wars film! I think that the show gets better as it progresses.
Metope - that must be the first time I've ever heard someone say not to bother with the original trilogy. Did your boyfriend give a reason? He may be justified, or he might just have Incorrect Taste In Sci-Fi. Yes, I am the Star Wars Police. :police:
LeeC:
Star Wars: Rebel's facebook page has been mighty busy today, posting recruitment posters hours between themselves. Perhaps an honest to god trailer coming out soon?
the executive producer gives me hope!
