Frequently asked
What's the best order to watch the Star Wars movies?+
It depends on what you want. Release order (IV, V, VI, I, II, III, VII, VIII, IX) preserves the original 1977 experience and the big Vader reveal. Chronological order (I through IX) follows the in-universe timeline. Machete order (IV, V, II, III, VI) keeps the twist intact while folding in the prequels and famously skips Episode I. The Films mode picks the one that fits how you like to watch.
What is Machete order?+
A viewing order created by Rod Hilton in 2011: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, then a flashback to Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, then Return of the Jedi. It drops The Phantom Menace entirely and treats the prequels as a flashback that pays off the "I am your father" reveal. Great for newcomers who want the twist preserved.
Where can I actually watch all of this?+
Every Star Wars film and series streams on Disney+. The video games (Jedi: Fallen Order, KOTOR, LEGO Star Wars) are on PC and consoles. The novels and comics are in print, ebook, and audiobook. Force Finder tells you where each recommendation lives.
Which Clone Wars arc should I watch first?+
If you want one self-contained masterpiece, the Umbara arc (Season 4) is the show at its peak. For Force mythology, the Mortis trilogy (Season 3). For the emotional gut-punch, the Siege of Mandalore (Season 7). The Animation mode matches an arc to your exact mood and tells you the season and episodes.
Do I need to have seen the movies first?+
No. Force Finder is built for total newcomers as much as lifelong fans. Several recommendations — like Andor, Visions, or the High Republic books — require zero prior knowledge. Just tell it you're new and it calibrates everything around that.
What's the difference between canon and Legends?+
In 2014 Lucasfilm reset the official continuity. Stories from before then (like the Knights of the Old Republic games and the Thrawn "Heir to the Empire" trilogy) are now branded "Legends" — still beloved, just not part of the current timeline. Force Finder labels each pick so you always know which is which.
I just finished a Star Wars show — what should I watch next?+
That's the What's Next path. Tell it what you just wrapped — a film, series, game, or book — and it hands you the single best follow-up plus a few alternates, using the real connective tissue (finished Andor? Watch Rogue One next, since Andor leads right into it).
Which Star Wars game should I play?+
The Which Game path matches you by how you actually play. As of 2026 the modern standouts are Jedi: Survivor (the best recent single-player game) and the open-world Star Wars Outlaws, while Knights of the Old Republic is still widely called the greatest Star Wars game ever made. Tell Force Finder your platform, your taste, and whether you play solo or with others, and it picks one.
Where should I start reading Star Wars books?+
For most newcomers the answer is Lost Stars — a standalone canon novel that's the most-recommended starting point. If you want the fresh-start High Republic era, begin with Light of the Jedi; for the classic Legends stories, Heir to the Empire. The Where to Start Reading path picks based on novel-vs-comic, canon-vs-Legends, and what you're into.
