Questions

What is the first Star Wars movie chronologically?

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, set 32 years before A New Hope.

Should I watch Star Wars in release or chronological order?

Release order starts with A New Hope and keeps the big reveal in The Empire Strikes Back. Chronological order follows Anakin from the start and works well on a rewatch.

Where do Rogue One and Solo fit?

Solo takes place about ten years before A New Hope. Rogue One ends minutes before A New Hope begins. Read the full Rogue One timeline explainer.
