(Almost. Actually not really first movie I recall seeing was the RotJ and, no kidding it gave my Mum nightmares afterwards because of Jabba’s palace.

I don’t recall the order I watched the next two, suspect it was NH then ESB but not sure. Pretty close together and on VCR -v ideo tape with actual tape – anyhow.)

..Then NOT watching any others.

Till VIII maybe – dunno haven’t yet seen no spoilers please!)

But sadly I didn’t and did see the prequels which cannot be unseen once seen.

Although actually, guilty admission here, I didn’t think they were all that bad albeit not up to the emotional and powerful standard and hype stemming from the originals.

Their music always works anyhow and hey these are Star Wars movies so take them for what they are. All of them.

Which I say as someone who really loves this ‘verse.

.. And whose all-time fave SF series is ‘Babylon 5’ FWIW

Honestly the other thing that I think makes that a good order is the nice comparison between what was possible in the 70s and 80s and what came later. But I coudl see not everyone is so interested in that. (Me, it’s because I think Lucas’ best work was when he had strict budgetary limits. See American Graffiti as exhibit A).
