Count me as one of the people who opposes “saving the reveal”. Despite what Lucas says, the prequels were never meant to be watched before the originals. All 3 prequels were marketed exclusively to people who had seen the originals, so the movies were obviously intended to be watched in release order. “Saving the reveal” is a complete non-issue for people who watch the movies the way they were actually intended to be watched.
I get what you’re saying, but if one wants to experience the whole universe (with tv series as Clone Wars, Rebels, Rogue One, etc.) it would be nice to watch everything in chronological order while keeping all the plot twists.
If we are talking only about movies, then ok, we could watch the OT and then the PT, or follow the Machete order, but if one wants to watch also the tv series…
