SUPERMAN’s David Corenswet Shares His STAR WARS Movie Watch Order

In a recent GQ interview, David Corenswet, the actor cast as the new Superman, shared his preferred viewing order for the first six Star Wars films, which the article praises as an excellent choice for new viewers.

His recommended order is:

1.  (IV)
2.  (V)
3.  (I)
4.  (II)
5.  (III)
6.  (VI)

This method, often called the "Rinster Order" or "Flashback Order," has several key benefits:

• Preserves the Big Twist: It allows viewers to experience the shocking "I am your father" reveal in The Empire Strikes Back without prior knowledge.
• Provides Context: After the cliffhanger in Episode V, the prequel trilogy serves as an extended flashback, explaining how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader.
• Enhances the Finale: Watching Return of the Jedi last makes it the grand finale for both Luke's journey and Anakin's tragic story, giving Luke's attempt to redeem his father more emotional weight.

The article notes that this order is similar to the well-known "Machete Order" but has the advantage of including The Phantom Menace, which adds important context for Anakin's character. Overall, the piece endorses Corenswet's choice as a narratively compelling and emotionally satisfying way to experience the original and prequel Star Wars sagas.
