This is my first time watching any Star Wars content. From what I understand and remember I should be watching it in chronological order and I should only watch I-VI since from what I heard that those are the only ones that are actually worth a watch.
Main question
For the original trilogy I’ve decided to watch the 4K77, 4k80, and 4k83 v1.0 no DNR but I want to know what is the the definitive way to watch the prequels so I wanted to ask which Blu-ray release or fan edit or any release should I look for?
Sorry if I’m asking the wrong community, but I saw a post before in a Star Wars community and it doesn’t look like there was much discussion on it.
watch them in release order for sure, starting with Episode IV and ending with Episode III.
As for prequel versions, wherever you got the 4kXX files from should also have Schorman’s HDTV rips of the prequels that I recommend. That way you get to see ugly ass puppet yoda in The Phantom Menace the way god intended, but you don’t have to suffer DVD quality. If you can’t find them, shoot me a DM or just download any blu-ray/disney+ rip, the prequels didn’t change too much over the years besides some effects being re-rendered here and there.
Also big recommend the Andor TV show and Rogue One once you’re done with the prequels. They connect the two eras nicely.
edit: oh yeah, i totally forgot. watch the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars Miniseries between Episode II and Episode III. It’s not super important to the story but I have a lot of nostalgia for it, and you’ll enjoy seeing General Grievous actually looking cool before they completely squander him in the movie.
What’s the current recommend for the original trilogy? Last re-watch I picked up some fanmade recolours of the OG rips, but not sure what’s hotness today. For clarity, I’m looking for watching Alderaan explode like a poorly rendered image of a candle, not any remastered shit.
