Watch the 2 hours “Clone Wars” cartoon, it depicts Anakin exactly the way Ben does in ANH.
If you are referring to the Clone Wars Micro-Series I would agree. That is IMO the best thing to emerge out of all the prequel material. It’s IMO much better than the Clone Wars TV Series.
As to the OP - I think anyone who is a Star Wars fan should probably watch them at least once…although for a first time watcher I’d argue that release order is mandatory.
If you want to watch the saga all the way through for whatever reason I to think the machete order is the best (although I’d probably now go RO-ANH-TESB-TPM-AOTC-ROTS-ROTJ-TFA)
