I mean, if you have to include the prequels you might as well do it machete order:
Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the JediThis is the WORST thing you can actually do. Putting PT in the middle of OT contaminates the OT and its feel.
I agree it creates a certain type of disconnect due to the different feel of the films but as it pertains to story telling the machete order is the most sound choice IF you’re including the prequels.
