That means you too, Yoda Chronicles!
When it comes to watching Star Wars, there’s no right or wrong way to go about it! You could go release order; you could start with the films (prequels or originals first?); you could take a random stab at one of the series. The possibilities are endless.
This article is for those who want to watch Star Wars in chronological order, that is, following the canon’s chronology.
I’ve made this list based on information that I’ve found around Internet forums as well as my own judgment, and compiled it all in one place. Here you’ll find everything from the original trilogy to the various LEGO episodes, all laid out chronologically.
It should be noted that early seasons of The Clone Wars TV show bounce around in chronological order. For that reason, the order given in this first list are only approximations. To see the full list of The Clone Wars episode order, see below. I have also included a breakdown of the All-Star episodes after the main list, explaining the numbering system I have attributed them.
