#Star Wars The Force Awakens

Star Wars: The Force Awakens just came out this week, just ahead of this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival, and some of your friends are probably going crazy about it while you just sit around wondering what you’re missing. Straight into The Force Awakens First of all, you should know that you can watch the new Star Wars without any prior knowledge on the universe. VII: The Force Awakens Pros: Saves you time Keeps everything fresh Cons: Doesn’t really involve you into Star Wars Just the Classics There’s a reason why Star Wars is so successful, and that’s because of the classics – the ones that started it all. You can get into Star Wars by just watching IV, V, and VI, then right into VII as VII is indeed the proper successor to the whole Star Wars feel and vibe, and that’s seen in the original classic trilogy. IV: A New Hope V: The Empire Strikes Back VI: Return of the Jedi If you do it in this order, you really won’t be missing a lot anymore, because these three films already capture the essence of Star Wars. Pros: Retains the essence of Star Wars Tells the story perfectly without spoiling anything Cons: Forgoes extra value given by prequels The Machete Order This one isn’t our idea; if you want to read more about it, you can do so here.
