  4. Watch the original trilogy. After you've finished the prequels, move on to the original trilogy, which many consider to be the best movies to this day. Start with "A New Hope," then "The Empire Strikes Back" and finally "Return of the Jedi."

  5. End with the sequels. Finally, you can watch the newest sequels to the original Star Wars trilogy. In order, watch "The Force Awakens," "The Last Jedi" and "The Rise of Skywalker."

  6. Watch the spin-offs. If you're still craving more Star Wars content, Disney+ also has several spin-off movies and TV shows to choose from. These include "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and "Solo: A Star Wars Story" but also esteemed shows like "The Mandalorian," "Andor," "The Book of Boba Fett" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi."
