The Original Trilogy, yes. Not sure whether the Prequel Trilogy will have anything to do with the OT. The Prequels aren't very well liked among most people, including myself so maybe I'm biased. But you should go check out the Original Trilogy no matter what, and the Prequels if you're up to it.

I'd suggest starting at New Hope. and then watch 5, 6, 1, 2 and 3. You could miss the prequel trilogy out if you want, as that is just the back story of Darth Vader but they are worth watching and are great even though everybody hates them. Original Trilogy is a must though.

Yeah, watch all 6 and make up your own mind about the prequels. I personally love them.

Yes definitely! I would recommend watching them in release order...
A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
Some people love the prequels, some people hate them. I'd still recommend trying them. I'm sure Force Awakens will be a good movie on its own however, (and obviously no one here has seen Force Awakens yet) but I'd imagine it wouldn't have as much of a profound affect without seeing any of the previous movies and some stuff may go above your head.

This upcoming trilogy is a continuation of the original (not prequel) trilogy, if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong thoug; I'm purposely avoiding all information on them. I want everything to be new.

Watch them in this order. It adds to the experience:
4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6
It's better to watch all three prequel movies before watching the final original trilogy movie.
I will let you know that episode 1 is the worst movie in the series. I'd also recommend watching the full show of the clone wars (seasons 1-6). The clone wars TV show takes place in between episodes 2 and 3.

I literally was just about to make a thread to ask if I should watch the prequels or not. I guess I'll give 'em a shot. Maybe they won't be as bad as everyone says they are.

I literally was just about to make a thread to ask if I should watch the prequels or not. I guess I'll give 'em a shot. Maybe they won't be as bad as everyone says they are. Episode 1 is bad but 2 and 3 aren't that bad. Also, if you are up to it, I recommend watching the entire Clone Wars series. The clone was takes place between episodes 2 and 3. Even though 1 is bad, I'd still recommend watching it because if you want to watch the clone wars, some of it won't make sense because you haven't seen episode 1. Episode 2 is good, other than most of the love scenes because they have bad dialogue, but other than that, it's a good movie. 3 is fine except for the love scenes, which again have bad dialogue. Watch them in this order: 1, 2, Clone Wars, 3. Watching the clone wars series (animated movie plus all six seasons) makes you appreciate the prequels a lot more. Also, the episodes that the clone wars air, are not in chronological order. On the official Star Wars website, there is a list of episodes in chronological order, so you should watch 'em in that order. |

Absolutely watch the original trilogy. I prefer to live in a world where the prequels do not exist. Episode 1 was bad. Episode II is  ing awful, and episode III is just kind of ok in parts. |

Well that's your opinion. I prefer attack of the clones over the phantom menace, but not by much. |

I like Attack of the Clones quite a bit more than Revenge and oceans more than Menace. To each their own. In general, they're all sh*t compared to the OT. George Lucas falling in love with CGI is pretty much the worst thing that ever happened to Star Wars imo, and that includes his revisions of the OT. I'm extremely thankful I bought the original cuts when they were released in the duel set on DVD.
I would recommend watching 4,5,6 and then go see 7. At which point you can go back and watch 1, 2 and 3.

I personally prefer the prequels above the originals, New Hope bores me pissless, but the rest are pretty damn great.
When it comes to the order, maybe try it Episode 1 - 6, its really only this new generation that is able to watch it as the series it is as opposed to release-order.

I'm sure they'll explain enough that you can watch without seeing the others, but being more immersed in the world would certainly help. As mentioned already, I would suggest watching them in release order. If you have the time, I'd also check out the Clone Wars and Rebels cartoons. You don't really have to do them before seeing The Force Awakens, but they're really good.  |
