looks like we got a marathon on our hands

 

Update us with her thoughts please

 

For a first-time viewer, it has to be release order.

 

Machete cuts out the best Prequel, though

Ernst Rister for life

 

I did the Ernst Rister order with my girlfriend who had seen the originals before, but not since she was a kid. It was fun, but she hated the prequels so much lol.

 

I'm sure I've posted this before, but my personal rewatch order is:

Rogue One
A New Hope
Empire
Phantom
Clones
Sith
Return
Solo
Force Awakens
Last Jedi
TROS (though I haven't seen it since theaters)

I like Solo between the OT and sequels because it's nice to have a movie between them to help add to the passage of time and then you get one last Han Solo adventure before he bites the dust. It's cool to see him go from wide-eyed kid to old man trying to save his kid too.

 

Can't imagine a scenario where I watch TROS ever again. Maybe when my son is old enough. Episode 2 as well.

 

Damn I forgot all about Rogue One and Solo lol

I don't think we'll watch those, she's already overwhelmed

 

Me and my fiancé plane on watching it one more and every time I frustratingly sigh, we drink.

 

As bad as Clones is, i still have a soft spot for it. I like it but I’m not gonna try to change anyone’s opinion on it

 

I’ve watched TROS since theaters and it’s fine.

We recently tried episode 2 and quit like 30 minutes in. Easily my least favorite.

 

I did not see Kumail, O'Shea Jackson Jr, or Bennie Safdie coming

 

Love that cast. Gotta think they're hiding Liam Neeson for that big Qui Gon reveal no?

 

Yea, I will be kind of surprised if Qui Gon doesn't end up in some form. I could see it just being a voice over though.

 

That cast
Super excited for this

 

Kind of surprised they didn’t recast Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

 

I'm not sure Qui-Gon ever figured out how to achieve a corporeal form so a voice-over would make most sense I think.

 

I'm sure they could find some explanation to have him appear (happened in the Mortis arc), but based on Yoda's clone wars arc it seems like a voice-over would be the way to go.

 

He’s gonna find a voice recording on a device and then cry.

 

Do we know who each actor is playing? I just assumed two of them were Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

 

Joel could easily be a younger uncle owen

 

Yes, I assumed him and Bonnie Piesse.

 

Yeah Joel and Bonnie were the actors for Owen and Beru in the prequel

 

ooooh. I see what you were saying.. My bad.

 

I don't think, besides great age gaps like the prequels / sequels they really recast. Think about how they brought back Genevieve O'Reilly to reprise Mon Mothma from a deleted scene on ROTS, no recasting of young Luke in Mandalorian, etc. I'd actually be pretty surprised if they recast anyone - they even brought back Bonnie even though she was all in the NXIVM doc.
