The only correct order to watch Star Wars is the order of release (preferably skipping the prequels altogether). I think that sticking PT in the middle of OT, as that guy suggested, is stupid.

Imperialscum I've gathered your staunchly anti PT, as am I. But all he was suggesting was a way they could be made sense of for someone new to Star Wars. After all they prequels do exist (albeit, unfortunately) and I think it would be a clever way to utilise them.

I understand that. I did not say that one must disregard the prequels (though I recommended it). I do not see why would anyone want to stick them in-between ESB and ROTJ when (if you really want to) you can just watch them after finishing with OT (as it is intended).

The point I am making is that putting any PT in-between OT is the worst possible combination. Certainly much worse than watching PT after OT or even before OT.

If you have a really good wine and a really crappy one and if you want to drink them both, you should drink one first and then the other. If you mix them you will just ruin the really good one.
