The start of a marathon

[LukeRowberry]

Hi all,

 

With the country on lockdown it seems like a good time to catch up on some films that I’ve never got around to watching! I’m after some opinions on which order to watch them in though.

 

All the Star Wars films

All lord of the rings

All hobbit films

 

I know people have different opinions on the Star Wars order and also if hobbit should be watched before LOTR or not.

 

 

What say you?

I do a Star Wars marathon every year, always watching Episode IV on Bonfire Night. It started back in 2002 when my dog, Jess (see avatar), loved the fireworks so much that she would have spent the whole night on a walk watching them, if she could. Even after being out for about 3 hours, every time she heard one go off she would want to go back out. In the end, I decided to put Star Wars on and turn up the volume, hoping that all the laser blasts would distract her. It worked...sort of...And so the annual Star Wars marathon became tradition - watching the films in chronological order (in the Star Wars universe).

 

As the years have gone by, there have obviously been more and more films to watch, so it now begins towards the end of October, but the correct sequence is:

 

1. The Phantom Menace
   
2. Attack of the Clones
   
3. The Clone Wars (animated)
   
4. Revenge of the Sith
   
5. Solo
   
6. Rogue One
   
7. A New Hope
   
8. The Empire Strikes Back
   
9. Return of the Jedi
   
10. The Force Awakens
    
11. The Last Jedi
    
12. The Rise of Skywalker
    
13. 
    

 

And, yes, The Hobbit before Lord of the Rings.
