How To Watch the Star Wars Movies In Order

If you’re loving the idea of running a Star Wars race, but have no idea where a Star Wars is, or who a Star Wars is, or why a Star Wars is… (H/T to my Avengers: Infinity War spoiler fans who get this one) we’ve got some help for you.

You have a full year to prepare for the runDisney Star Wars races. And earning that Star Wars Half Virtual medal is always more fun when you do it on a treadmill with a great movie as a distraction. Getting in these Star Wars movies in order during a Star Wars movie marathon shouldn’t be too hard!

And while you can’t run while watching this one, I’m going to give a shout out to the Kid-Friendly Solo: A Star Wars Story opening this week. Here’s why I feel like this one is family-friendly and fun for the whole family of Star Wars lovers.
