A fan account on Twitter is posting every shot from the Star Wars movies in order, and any person who enjoys the galaxy far, far away has to follow it. Star Wars has been a cultural force since George Lucas directed A New Hope in 1977, but it's truly impressive to see how enduring it has been as a pop culture mainstay. Love it or loathe it, that is partially because of Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm back in 2012, thus paving the way for a slew of new projects set within the Star Wars world.
After churning out five movies in as many years, Disney is currently putting all its focus into the television side of Star Wars. The last film to be released by the studio, 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, proved to be a divisive conclusion to the Skywalker saga; that it came after other polarizing efforts like Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story only made fan reception more complicated. Currently, Disney+ is in the middle of airing The Book of Boba Fett, the second live-action Star Wars show to be created amid this new era.
Regardless of how one feels about the franchise's newest efforts, there is still plenty of affection for the original Star Wars films. Case in point: A new fan account called Star Wars Shots In Order is going through every film in the franchise and posting each one shot by shot. The account has been active since October 2021 and only just completed Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace on January 1, after posting 2,272 shots. Currently, it is not far into Star Wars: Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones, with Padmé (Natalie Portman) having just now joined Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and the Jedi Council.

There are many different ways fans can choose to watch the Star Wars movies, but the shot by shot account is taking the chronological approach. That means starting with the prequel trilogy rather than the original one, which was of course released first. Fans can also expect to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo tucked in before the account reaches the original films, as Disney was able to release two standalone films bridging the gap between trilogies.
It isn't yet clear if the Star Wars fan account will also put in television shows like The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian. However, considering just how much content what would entail, it seems likely it will just stick to the movies. After all, it took several months just to get through one film. Attack of the Clones started right when 2022 did, and now, three weeks into the year, only the opening scenes have been covered. Nevertheless, this is a fascinating undertaking. It just might even be one of the most creative ways fans have chosen to interact with Star Wars. If you want to watch every movie shot by shot from your Twitter feed, give the account a follow now.
