** In the prequel trilogy, it was obvious to all that all three movies were going to be made, so all are incorporated together more tightly as a trilogy and tell a larger narrative arc involving Anakin, Palpatine and the Jedi Order. Even still, ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' could be a stand-alone movie as it ends on a happy note (thus why the Machete Order skips this movie). Meanwhile ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' are more tightly linked as the respective beginning and end of the Clone Wars (said wars canonically lasted three years[[note]][[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Or seven seasons of television]], the last of which happens concurrently with ''Revenge''[[/note]]).

** In the original trilogy, ''Film/ANewHope'' is clearly made as a movie that can stand by itself (although the narrative is open to the possibilities of later movies), whereas ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' and ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' - greenlit after the success of the first - are more closely linked together and separated by a sequel hook (in fact in the original theatrical release of ''A New Hope'', neither the subtitle "A New Hope" nor the "Episode IV" designation were a part of the opening crawl, they were only added to later releases following the next two episodes).

** The Sequel Trilogy is a rare example where the first (''VII'') and third (''IX'') installments are more closely tied together. That's because they have the same director, while the second film has another director. And yet on the flipside, the first and second installments are tied closer together in terms of plot given that the latter picks up immediately where the former left off, whereas the third movie opens following a TimeSkip.

Despite all that, the story for this trilogy had no planning beyond what was needed for the film currently in production, making each episode feel less tightly-linked than the prequels or between ''Empire'' and ''Jedi''.
