Watching all of the various series and movies in the Star Wars Saga has become increasingly complicated over the years. Seasons of a series end up taking place in and around the movies and other series, and even worse, several seem to run concurrently. This is the best order I've discovered for watching it all... so long as you have 170 hours or so to devote to the tales of a galaxy far, far away.

Universal'sThe Mummymovies have been favorites at our house since the start. There's just something delightful about these classic adventure stories. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the second film, The Mummy Returns. To celebrate, Universal is bringing it back to theaters.
Here's the official synopsis from Universal:
An exciting new take on one of Universal’s iconic Classic Monsters, "The Mummy" introduced moviegoers to dashing French foreign legionnaire Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser) and whip-smart scholar and librarian Evelyn (Rachel Weisz), sending them on a mythology-inspired adventure through 1920s Egypt.
Set 10 years after the events of the first film, "The Mummy Returns" picks up in 1933 with the swashbuckling heroes now married and living in London. Parents to eight-year-old Alex (Freddie Boath), the couple brings the boy along to their Egyptian expeditions, where they inadvertently uncover a rare artifact, the Bracelet of Anubis. The piece once belonged to a fearsome warrior known as the Scorpion King (Dwayne Johnson) and can be used to command his army of jackal-like fighters.
Back in London, trouble begins after the bracelet locks onto Alex’s wrist, just as a cult planning to resurrect the powerful mummy Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), kidnaps Evelyn. Suddenly, father and son are forced to undertake a dangerous rescue mission alongside Evelyn’s spoiled brother (John Hannah), one that pits them against Meela Nais (Patricia Velasquez). The physical reincarnation of Imhotep’s ancient lover, she hopes Imhotep will defeat the Scorpion King in battle, thereby conquering the world.
