I’ve not been online much today so no idea what’s up but
A) listen to me with @socialistshelf.bsky.social below
B) correct viewing order is release order, always
c) correct ranking of movies is 1977/ESB in the top 2 slots (any order), the rest doesn’t matter at all.

Star Wars and the order you should watch them in is trending on Bluesky. I don’t have an opinion on this matter, but you sure should listen to this episode we did a few months ago on a star wars novel with @manucleardevice.bsky.social
