In many ways, that’s the entire point of the scene, as The Last Jedi would emphasize: Rey also struggled to see the legend of Luke Skywalker in the man standing before her. She strained to comprehend the brash young hero from Return of the Jedi as this forlorn, gray-bearded man in a brown cloak.
Sure, Han Solo and Leia Organa probably looked a little grayer around the edges to her-but the most dramatic and noticeable change was in Luke, who was unrecognizable to her. We had watched the original trilogy together already, but I realized in that moment that she had no sense at all that these films were decades old. “Look!” she declared in the hushed movie theater. In trying to devise a new watch order for Star Wars, I kept thinking of my six-year-old daughter’s reaction to the ending of The Force Awakens, when Rey finally comes face-to-face with a world-weary Luke Skywalker in exile. There’s no single right answer or correct order, since each variation creates a different experience of the franchise-enhancing some surprises, undermining others, and providing a different perspective on the stories no matter how many times you’ve seen them.
What’s the best way to watch the Star Wars movies in order? might be the most frequently asked of the “frequently asked questions” in the galactic fandom.
