Since 1980 ANH has been Episode IV.

I thought it was 81?

As I said I have some sympathy for people who say the films should be watched in the order they were made but there is no reason why the plot of the films shouldn't work in either order.

See the issue is if the secret is preserved in the PT then those films will seem strange to watch after the OT.

To be honest the birth of Vader in ROTS is so badly handled I'm not sure if any of the material is usable but I wouldn't 'kill the idea' of using it. Someone might be able to get it to work.

Of course how well the birth of Vader is handled is an issue, but I think it's a whole other issue. Either way, getting the film to work in that regard isn't easy. If you keep it, it's not perfect. If you get rid of it, you're getting rid of half the movie.

To be clear I am interested to see a version of the PT that preserves a secret in a smart and clever way (i.e. not just removing the scene where Anakin puts on the suit) which I believe Ady will do. I just believe it is better not to do it at all.
