I’m just curious if you enjoy the twist being preserved or the removal of episode 1 more?
Also, cutting Episode 1 is important because you reduce the time of suffering through the prequels by 2 hours.
Does that answer your question? Personally I would recommend you to try Super Machete order, where you cut Clones, too. But my absolute favorite order is Mega Machete, you place the prequels between episodes 5 and 6 and then you remove them entirely.
