An upcoming film (May 28, 2027), set about five years after Episode IX.
US availability to be confirmed
You don't need any earlier film. StarWars.com says Starfighter is set about five years after The Rise of Skywalker, so Episodes VII–IX (7h 12m) are our suggested warm-up.

Main line · 9 essential titles.
With recommended and optional stops: 223h 30m · 43 titles.
Release dates and runtimes come from box-office, rating-board and reference records such as Box Office Mojo, the BBFC and Wookieepedia. Story order follows the StarWars.com Movies and Series Viewing Guide. US availability comes from JustWatch's US listings and the platforms' own pages. Every title page lists its sources and the date we last checked them, and editorial placements are labelled separately from official order.
How we build this list →Report a mistake →For a first viewing, watch the nine Skywalker Saga films in release order: Episodes IV–VI (1977–1983), then I–III (1999–2005), then VII–IX (2015–2019). Rogue One and selected seasons of The Mandalorian and Andor are recommended extras.
Story order follows the StarWars.com Movies and Series Viewing Guide. The guide lists each series as one entry, so we keep its seasons together at that position. Our three editorial placements — The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka Season 2 and Starfighter — are labelled.
No earlier film is required. Starfighter is due in theaters on May 28, 2027, and StarWars.com says it is set about five years after The Rise of Skywalker. Episodes VII–IX run 7h 12m if you want a warm-up.
Among the 13 released films, Episode I has a short audio moment after the credits. Studio-logo animations are excluded from our scene counts. The Mandalorian Season 2, The Book of Boba Fett and Andor Season 1 each have one extra scene during or after the credits. The animated seasons have not been checked yet. Each ticket shows the count, never the content.
The nine saga films run 20h 37m. All 13 released films take 28h 56m, and adding the 10 live-action seasons brings it to 93h 13m. Everything released so far — 43 films and seasons, animation included — runs 223h 30m. Use the timetable to spread that over the weeks you have.
