TheDoctor1987 said:I have been thinking lately on how to watch the Star Wars saga i have all six films on dvd with both special editions and theatrical editions. Now do you watch them in order through episodes 1 - 6 or do you watch the Original Trilogy then Prequel Trilogy or do you just not watch the Prequel Trilogy at all. Which is your method to watching the Star Wars Saga?
Watch the original trilogy in original form through in order. If you want real Star Wars that's all you've got. But if you want inferior Star Wars spinoff you can watch The Phantom Menace. And if you want to make yourself sick you can watch Clones or Revenge, in any order you like. But whatever you do, don't watch the OT right after watching the PT, because that's Lucas's stupid "vision", which should never be indulged. The OT was NOT made to follow the PT and any claims to the contrary are just nonsense. A quick look at the structure of the OT is enough to prove it wasn't built to follow the films that came out in 99, 2002 and 2005.
Oh and the 1997 and 2004 versions are solely useful for studying how Lucas screwed up Star Wars. So it's best to watch whatever scene of them you want to study, not watch a whole SE film through like it was a legitimate version of the film.
The last two prequels are especially useful if you've swallowed something poisonous and you want to bring it back up. Just watch "Anakin" act like a pain the butt and Yoda be a pompous wanker and you'll be coughing up the toxic substance in no time. But be warned, watching the Anakin/Padme romance has been known to cause people to vomit forth a year's worth of meals. Use at your own risk.
