IV, II, V, III, VI always works quite well.

If you wanted to take it a step further you could easily divide each film into either 2 or 3 segments, and mix them up even further. Here is a running order I outlined ages ago for a personal project

THE STAR WARS

part i    -    The Wind that Shakes the Stars

opens with a screaming body burning on the molten shores of mustafar. (a scene which haunts the entire series). Followed by obiwan bringing a baby to the homestead. *TITLE*

Removal of original opening of ANH, film starts from luke and we only follow his story. ends when luke leaves Tatooine on the Millennium Falcon

part ii    -    An Age of Heroes

Abridged AOTC to follow a more heroic anakin and obiwan.

part iii    -    A New Hope

Follows leia from beginning, until Millennium Falcon is captured. Rest of the film. throne room possibly cut.

part iv    -    The Empire Strikes Back

Film up until luke is on dagobah and han is in the asteroid.

part v    -    Shadow of the Black Knight

ROTS up until palpatine's revelation

part vi    -    The Dark Victory?

Second half of ESB. end scene of the fleet possibly cut.

part vii    -    The Secret Apprentice

very abridged TPM foucusing on anakin and qui-gon, examining possible routes of evil. ends in council chamber where anakin makes his choice to save palpatine.

part viii    -   

ROTS from anakins turn onwards, ending with him burning (a possible scene which is repeated throughout all the films)

part ix    -    The Last of the Jedi

First half of ROTJ. ends with the tyderium leaving hangar

part x    -    The Return of the Jedi

Second half of ROTJ, opens with emperors arrival, ending with luke cremating vader.

Can this be fan edited right now? Possibly as a miniseries? Yes? Honestly, this needs to be done.
