Q2’s Fall of the Jedi Trilogy.
My personal opinion is that Q2’s are the definitive edition, and Hal’s are like an Extended Cut (“you liked the theatrical cut, now watch it with extra footage”) supplement. Kind of like the Extended LOTR movies.
I agree.
Full disclosure: I haven’t watched HAL9000’s completely yet but fully intend to once v4 of ep3 hits faninfo.org.
As a new fan, I was surprised at how I simply couldn’t get through ep1 at all. Downloaded Q2’s Fall of the Jedi Trilogy, and was glued to the TV like I was with the OT.
The best way to keep the reveal is the full machete order: 4-5-1-2-3-6 (or 1-4-5-2-3-6).
I can see that, and that this might also be the best way to watch HAL9000’s edits (minus ep1… Jar Jar, ugh).
So I think (reservedly) that I will still prefer Q2’s to watch from I-VII in order, but HAL9000’s for Machete order (IV, V, II, III, VI, VII), based on the fact that Vader still makes an appearance at the end of ep3.
