1,2,3,4,5,6,7 obviously

that sounds like the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage

I've seen people watching them in release order, and people watching them in chronological order. Obviously I'm talking about people that, like OP, hadn't seen any Star Wars movies by the time there were at least 6 of them out. And well, it seems that people who watched it in release order enjoyed it more than the ones who watched it from 1-7. Episode 4 is very introductory, and people who don't start there seem to find it boring and they don't get attached to the characters in the same way as most of the people who do start there. The out dated special effects, and battle choreographies also seem to be perceived as silly by the people who have only the flashier ones from episodes 1-3 as a reference.

I'm not saying it always happens like this, but it is something I've observed. So I would recommend watching 4-5-6, 1-2-3, 7 (release order).

Chronological order is the best to go only once you've seen them all imo.

rogue one, 4,5,6,7,1,2,3

Honestly episodes 1-3 don't really bring anything worthwhile to the IP. You could go 4567 and not miss a damn thing. Or you could go 456 and if you really like it then 123 7.

423567 is probably the best viewing order if you are willing to accept that 1 was complete garbage and you don't need to see it.

Either way if you decide to get into star wars I recommend you also watch the clone wars cartoon. It is amazing, and ahsoka is the best character in star wars and she is only in the cartoon.

423567?

why?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

you need to watch the first three if you haven't seen and might as well watch chronologically + if they aren't as good get them out of the way. and they're fine the only people who hate them grew up with the old ones+complain about most new movies

While 1-7 will show you a more complete story, the jump from 3 to 4 will seem very odd when the overall appearance of the films goes down in quality drastically. 4-6,1-3 will show a gradual increase in graphic quality and might be more "enjoyable"
