Should I start her with Phantom Menace or A New Hope? I know Phantom Menace isn't highly regarded by true fans but seems like it could be an easier in for someone that isn't a fan.

Even though I'm a prequel defender (I recognize their faults), I'd start with the order they came out in. Makes the Vader turn better IMO.

Start with Rogue 1 (and I shite all over Rogue 1), then the originals, then the prequels, then Force Awakens.

Go in release order. 456 123 7 Rogue One. Phantom Menace is a horrible movie, Attack of the Clones is even worse. I can't imagine watching those without any kind of SW universe frame of reference.

Do Rogue One, 4,5,1,2,3,6,7

Doesn't spoil the surprise and after Empire you get the background for how this all came to be. Machete order they call it

Gotta start with the original trilogy. If you start with the prequels, she's not going to GAF about the watching the original trilogy before you even make it out of AOTC.

She doesn't care about Star Wars. Put on A New Hope and tag her from behind for your own pleasure

I'm on a re-watch right now and started from Episode 1. It doesn't have the same effect this way, but that's ok.

Start with A New Hope. If she digs it, go through the OG Trilogy and straight into Episode 7. Don't even mention the prequels unless she requests to see them. If you start with the prequels, unless she had a childhood crush on Hayden Christenson, she's going to hate them, and assume all of the Star Wars movies must be sucky like the prequels.

Tread lightly. If she really likes the movies she'll be your wife within the month.

Release order. I saw Phantom Menace when I was a kid before seeing the original trilogy. It doesn't make it better.

Introduced my wife about ten years ago before we were married.

Watched in the theatrical release order. My wife actually enjoyed the love story between Padme and Anakin.
