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 wouldn't nitpick your grammar if "literally" wasn't such an abused word, but a literal marathon would be a long distance run of however long it is. You could use "really" or "actually" instead (e.g. "It won't actually be a marathon") since those words aren't as strong as "literally," and can allow for a figurative meaning (now I'm going to have people nitpicking over the definitions of "really" and "actually" :P).

Carry on....
