What Is THE *CORRECT* Order To Watch 'Star Wars?'
There is a longstanding debate on the best order to introduce the Star Wars franchise to the uninitiated. After lengthy, heated discussions with many friends and frenemies, I concede there may be more than one way. Think about the age of the viewer. Also, consider including the television shows, too.

Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in Futurism'Star Wars' Confirms That Kylo Ren Was Freed By Rey's Force Healing
When it comes to the Star Wars sequel trilogy, some argue that Kylo Ren is the most interesting character of those films, even if the execution of his arc has mixed reception. Very few would have guessed that a chance of redemption for the character would have involved Force healing. While Force healing has been a thing in Star Wars Expanded Universe material, it did not have a significant appearance on the canonical onscreen material until The Mandalorian and The Rise of Skywalker in December 2019. In the former, Grogu uses it to heal Greef Karga's wound. In the latter, Rey heals a serpent, and later Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, who later uses it to bring Rey back from the dead. That last action is something that some fans' argue "breaks the universe," and having Ben Solo die as part of his redemption is something that has rubbed some viewers the wrong way. However, it is worth noting that Rey Force healing Ben affected more than just his physical ailments.

The characters in Star Wars are amazing. Each Jedi, Sith, bounty hunter, smuggler, diplomat, and alien background character has more thought put into it than most movies would give to main characters. There is one character I don’t feel gets adequate love as a character (or rather characters): the ships. Each ship in Star Wars is visually interesting and just cool to watch. They have their own details that make them unique, and a lot of them have their own histories and conflicts which are shown in just their designs. Also, like other characters, they are not immune to the retcon. In fact, one famous ship in Star Wars has gotten a fairly large retcon treatment in the past.

Fans of Star Wars know of TV shows like The Clone Wars and Rebels.

Chadwick Boseman Was Originally Supposed To Be in 'Mandalorian' Season 1 According to Concept Art
The Mandalorian is easily one of, if not the best, shows on Disney+ right now. It is also the best Star Wars show available on the platform.

He has had a lot of help from friends, mentors, masters, enemies, and creatures along the way. These characters have also been brought to life by some truly fantastic actors and actresses, such as Carl Weathers as Greef Karga and Rosario Dawson as fan favorite Ashoka Tano. There have also been some cameos from equally impressive stars like Jason Sudeikis and Bill Burr. But fans have recently gotten a look at some early concept art for the show that reveals some more impressive stars we almost got in the series.
