I'm trying to put all SW's releases, fan-films includes, in a chronological order. I know it's hard work, but let's do it! I thing that everything in the list is OK until the DARK RESSURRECTION (few centuries after SW official trilogies). Every release listed after that is not on order yet. Any error, please fell free to report. Thanks!

PS - If you’re watching SW for the first time, watch it in release order! Is a great way to avoid spoilers, and you'll be watching the same way original fans watched as it came out.

Star Wars Best Watch Order For First Time Viewers

This list does not fully follow chronological or release order, it is a mix of both as I think is best
(I watched everything here more than once in different orders)
this description does not fully explain the order it only explains the jumps in timeline, look at the actual list to get the full detailed order
