Yeah, I'll have to disagree with that.

Yes, I knew you would. I’m willing to bet that you haven’t spent a heck of a lot of time thinking about it, you haven’t looked at the other thread in which it is discussed and thoughtfully considered the points made there, and — perhaps most significantly — you haven’t tried it.

I have watched 1-2-3-4-5-6, 4-5-6-1-2-3, and 4-5-1-2-3-6 more than once each, and in I have found that 4-5-1-2-3-6 is the best experience. In the other thread I listed a number of ways in which this order improves the experience, and there are more that I didn’t list there.

There is no narrative information in ROTJ that is necessary in order to understand the prequel trilogy, and in many ways it plays better with ROTJ seen after the prequel trilogy. FWIW, Lucas is on record stating that his intent is that they be viewed in the order 1-2-3-4-5-6, despite the 4-5-6-1-2-3 release order.
