One of the most heartwarming scenes in the saga is the interaction between Chewbacca and the watermelon vendor. The Wookiee warrior stumbles upon a basket full of watermelons and, thinking they are human heads, grabs the vendor and accuses him of being a serial killer. The vendor calls him "hairy screwball" and, to demonstrate that the watermelons are not heads, throws one to the ground, smashing it to pieces before the horrified gaze of Chewbacca, who now accuses him of being disrespectful to the heads of the deceased.

WHAT IS THE BEST ORDER TO WATCH THE ‘STAR WARS’ SERIES?

The logical order is undoubtedly this: 1. Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi 2. Episode VIII: The Last Jedi 3. Episode IV: A New Hope 4. Episode I: The Phantom menace 5. Episode III: Revenge of the Sith 6. Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back  7. Some Like It Hot (If you watch closely this Billy Wilder’s movie, you will discover that it fits in perfectly between positions 7 and 8. I am surprised that no one has noticed it so far.) 8. Episode VII: The Force Awakens 9. Episode II: Attack of the clones Episode IX (The Rise of Skywalker) has been removed from the list because it does not fit in the context of a series of space movies. What's a tight rope walker doing here? It doesn't make sense.
