I usually prefer to watch each trilogy as its own self-contained three-part story. So:

The main story:
Star Wars (4K77)
Empire Strikes Back (4K80)
Return of the Jedi (4K83)

(Optional stopping point)

The backstory:
The Phantom Menace (Blu-ray or 4K99)
Attack of the Clones (Blu-ray)
Revenge of the Sith (Blu-ray)

(Optional stopping point)

The appendices:
Rogue One (Blu-ray), Solo (Blu-ray), Kenobi, Mandalorian, etc. (Order doesn’t really matter here.)

(Optional stopping point)

The legacy era:
The Force Awakens (Blu-ray)
The Last Jedi (Blu-ray)
Rise of Skywalker (Blu-ray)

Basically, I just watch the OT first, then watch the rest of the films in more-or-less chronological order. I enjoy watching fan edits, but I usually don’t include them in a saga marathon.

If I’m watching the Special Editions of the OT, then I’ll usually watch the episodes in chronological order (with Rogue One sometimes placed between RotS and ANH), though I think I’ll try Machete Order next time to see if I like it.
