If you want to experience the Star Wars movies as they came out, release order is the way to go. (Image credit: Sunset Boulevard/Corbis/Getty ) Star Wars movies in order of release date (with shows, too) Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (35 ABY) (movie).Star Wars: Episode VIII -The Last Jedi (34 ABY) (movie).Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (34 ABY) (movie).The Book of Boba Fett (9 ABY) (live-action series).The Mandalorian (9 ABY) (live-action series).Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (4 ABY) (movie).Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (3 ABY) (movie).Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (0 BBY/0 ABY) (movie).Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (0 BBY) (movie).Star Wars Rebels (5 - 0 BBY) (animated series).Obi-Wan Kenobi (9 BBY) (live-action series).Solo: A Star Wars Story (13 - 10 BBY) (movie).

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (19 BBY) (movie).

The Bad Batch (19 BBY) (animated series).

The Clone Wars (22 - 19 BBY) (animated movie).

The Clone Wars (22 BBY) (animated series).

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (22 BBY) (movie).

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (32 BBY) (movie).

So when we say Episode II - Attack of the Clones is 22 BBY, that means it took place 22 years before the Battle of Yavin.Īnd, to help prevent confusion: Rogue One takes place immediately before A New Hope, and The Last Jedi takes place in the direct aftermath of The Force Awakens. In parentheses next to each movie, we list when the movie took place before or after the Battle of Yavin. If you’d prefer to see the Skywalker Saga from its chronological beginnings, here are the Star Wars movies in order of chronological events. Chronological order lets you see Star Wars' characters evolve in real time, including Anakin Skywalker's journey from bright-eyed boy to troubled warrior and Obi-Wan Kenobi's transformation from reluctant apprentice to sage Jedi runaway.

The Star Wars saga kicked off with Episode IV, then got a prequel trilogy before getting a sequel trilogy, so the storyline is inherently out of order.
