Let's watch Star Wars!
Walt Disney PicturesWith a whole bunch of new Star Wars movies and TV shows coming over the few years, you might want to dive into every existing Star Wars movie and TV show -- especially as they're all now available to stream on Disney Plus, from the original trilogy right up to The Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorian.
Whether you've never seen them before or can recite them line by line, here's how to check out every canon Star Wars movie, prequel, spinoff and TV show in chronological order (including alternatives like Amazon, iTunes, Google Play and YouTube if you prefer to rent or buy video on-demand rather than subscribe to Disney's streaming service).
Episode I: The Phantom Menace
The Star Wars prequels begin 32 years before the Battle of Yavin (BBY), the famous Death Star fight seen in the original Star Wars movie. The discovery of 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker kicks off the Skywalker Saga as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn finds him to be unusually strong in the Force -- the energy field that connects all life in the universe and from which the Jedi draw their powers -- and suspects he may be destined to bring balance to the Force.
Meanwhile, Darth Sidious, a Sith Lord aligned with the dark side of the Force, works in secret to destroy the Jedi and manipulate the Galactic Republic's political system. Thrilling stuff!

Episode II: Attack of the Clones
We jump forward 10 years to 22 BBY for the second movie in the Skywalker Saga. At this point, Anakin is Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi apprentice and quite the moody teenager. Even though it's against the rules of the Jedi Order, he's also falling in love with Padmé Amidala.
Meanwhile, renegade Jedi Count Dooku schemes to undermine the Republic -- but what is his connection to Darth Sidious?

It isn't part of the Skywalker Saga, so no episode number here.

The Mandalorian
All hail Baby Yoda! Viewers were charmed by the little green guy who stole the show in The Mandalorian, a western-influenced action series focusing on a laconic bounty hunter getting into shootouts on the fringes of the galactic frontier. Set five years after Return of the Jedi, it sees victorious rebels and shattered Imperial forces still locked in battle, while also drawing on the back story of Star Wars icon Boba Fett.
This most recent Star Wars spinoff debuted as the flagship original series for the launch of Disney Plus in 2019. There are two seasons, consisting of satisfyingly bite-size half-hour episodes. You don't need to have seen any previous spinoffs to understand it, but season 2 will be particularly satisfying if you've seen The Clone Wars -- for more details, check out our (spoiler-packed) recaps of The Mandalorian and its wealth of Star Wars easter eggs.
