Hey there! So, let’s face it: your little ones are going to be clamoring to watch those epic Star Wars and Avengers movies. You can’t escape it—those characters are everywhere, from lunch boxes to cereal boxes. After a quick trip to the grocery store, your kids will be bouncing off the walls, eager to dive into these universes.

But where do you even begin? Watching every superhero flick out there could take over 60 hours! Plus, figuring out the proper order can be a real head-scratcher. So, let’s simplify things without leaving your kids feeling like they’re missing out on the action.

Star Wars Viewing Order

First up, let’s tackle Star Wars. Blogger Jamie Rivers has a neat approach to maximize enjoyment while keeping it efficient. Here’s the order they suggest:

1. Episode IV: A New Hope
2. Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
3. Episode II: Attack of the Clones
4. Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
5. Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

You’ll notice that Episode I, the one with Jar Jar Binks and that kid you probably don’t want to remember, is omitted. This saves you two hours and a ton of unnecessary space jargon. What you get instead is a streamlined saga about a lost space boy named Luke Skywalker and the shocking twist that Darth Vader is his dad. Your kiddos are going to be hooked, and they’ll be asking why he turned to the dark side, which leads perfectly into the next films.

Marvel Movies Viewing Order

Now, Marvel movies don’t follow a single narrative thread like Star Wars does, but they can be condensed too. Here’s a suggested viewing order for the Marvel universe:

1. Iron Man
2. Captain America: The First Avenger
3. Thor
4. The Avengers
5. Guardians of the Galaxy
6. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
7. Avengers: Age of Ultron

I know, I know—seven movies is still a hefty commitment, totaling about 14 hours of superhero antics. But trust me, you’re actually dodging a whole bunch of content here—five movies, two TV shows, and a Netflix series got the chop. Plus, you’ll only need to deal with one actor playing Bruce Banner now, instead of three! This list also skips two Iron Man films and the second Thor movie, not to mention the 60 hours of shows like Agents of SHIELD.

The benefit of cutting all that fluff is that you get a clearer narrative. Even without those two Iron Man films, this order still tells Tony Stark’s story effectively. You see him transition from a cocky billionaire to a cocky billionaire with a sweet suit of armor and an awesome crew of superheroes. And even though Guardians of the Galaxy and Winter Soldier don’t tie into Tony’s journey, they’re probably the best films in the lineup. Plus, since you saved time, why not watch them twice?
