I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who hasn’t seen Star Wars before, but personally I’d go
RO
SW
ESB
ROTJ
TFA
I think chronological works just fine as long as you leave the prequels out.
With that said, this thread is actually supposed to be about Machete Order, to which I say no thank you. If you have to watch some of the prequels, the last thing I’d do is get rid of the least terrible one and keep the most terrible one.
