saw: Star Wars I, II, III These were produced AFTER Star Wars IV, V, VI, and supposedly provide a backdrop answering the question why Darth Vader is evil, etc. Part I (Phantom Menace) introduces many intriguing characters, II (Attack of the Clones) is mainly fighting, and holds parts I and III together, and III (Revenge of the Sith) brings the story up to the point where it can connect to IV (New Hope)--the first of the old three films.
