For someone who has never seen SW (or for someone who has, for that matter), I can't imagine a 6-movie marathon. That would be exhauting to the point of torture. I remember back in about 1985 when a local theater did the 3 movie marathon (4,5,6), and that alone is 9 hours and by partway through the 3rd movie I was mentally done and so was just about everyone else in the theater. You're talking 18 straight hours which is borderline unhealthy.
If you mean a 2 or 3 night "marathon", I still think 456123 is the most logical sequence, because it is the order they came out in theaters. No reveals are spoiled, and the progression of movie-making techniques and styles would be less jarring.
Is not literally a marathon, it will be a 3 night split, 2 per night.

I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but watching Sith before Jedi does spoil the reveal that Luke and Leia are siblings
Good point.

Good point. Jabba the Hutt's reveal being spoiled has also been mentioned. I agree that for a first time viewer, the best order is the release order--no question about it.
It's decided, I'll use the 4,5,6,1,2,3 order with her, I'll show her the DEED for 4,5,6 and the regular BR for 1,2,3
