This film also introduces the now infamous plot twist (yeah that one) that has become undoubtedly one of cinemas most memorable and quotable moments.

3

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983) Now personally this may be my favourite of the original trilogy, not only does it introduce us to the original star wars cuties the Ewoks, Return of the Jedi brings the story to a satisfying and epic conclusion, which also features one of the most iconic battles in film history: the space battle above the forest moon of Endor.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) The first film in the prequel trilogy, The Phantom Menace introduces a younger generation of characters and explores the origins of the Jedi Order. Although not as well-received as the original trilogy, it's still an important part of the Star Wars story and how can anyone have so much hate for a movie that gave us the absolute badass that is the legendary Darth Maul?

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019) This is a must-play for any Star Wars fan. You play as Cal Kestis, a former Jedi Padawan, who is on the run from the Empire. The game is a mix of action, exploration, and puzzles, and features some of the best lightsaber combat in any Star Wars game.
