If you're seeking a unique and enchanting way to bond with your family during the holiday period, look no further. Here, you can access and stream all the beloved "Star Wars" movies in the sequence that suits you best.

Discover the Streaming Options

All of the magnificent "Star Wars" movies and TV shows are readily available on Disney+ or Hulu for those with a premium subscription. You can immerse yourself in the galaxy far, far away on these platforms.

Streaming on Disney+

The "Star Wars" cinematic universe comes alive on Disney+. Sit back and enjoy the epic adventures at your leisure. It's a haven for fans of all ages.

Moreover, the movies can also be rented on Amazon Prime Video starting at just $3.79. This gives you the flexibility to enjoy your favorite "Star Wars" moments whenever you want.

For diehard fans, it's important to note that the versions of the original trilogy available on streaming are the edited "Special Editions." In contrast, the theatrical release versions from 1977 - 1983, often referred to as "Star Wars unedited," did not have CGI. In 1997, the films were re-released with enhanced audio and visual elements, including CGI. For instance, in the original theatrical release of "Star Wars" (1977), later renamed "A New Hope," Jabba the Hut was a man, not the giant space slug we know today.

Watching in Different Orders

Fans typically have two main ways of watching the "Star Wars" films - either in chronological order of the release date or in chronological order of the episodes.

While watching them in episode order is straightforward (Episode I, Episode II, Episode III, and so on), this is the order in which the movies were initially released in theaters:

• "Episode IV – A New Hope" (1977)
• "Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back" (1980)
• "Episode VI – Return of the Jedi" (1983)
• "Episode I – The Phantom Menace" (1999)
• "Episode II – Attack of the Clones" (2002)
• "Episode III – Revenge of the Sith" (2005)
• "Episode VII – The Force Awakens" (2015)
• "Episode VIII – The Last Jedi" (2017)
• "Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker" (2019)
