I don’t go in for the Rister/Machete order. I have no use for it because I’m so familiar with these movies that preserving the twist has no value, and I’ve only ever had one marathon with newbies who weren’t content to stick to the OT for the first dose and revisit the PT at a later date (we did indeed end up doing Machete for that). Still, I’ll play ball.

Star Wars in isolation: Theatrical cut with '77 crawl
OT marathon: Theatrical, SW with '81 crawl
Complete saga, release order: Theatrical OT ('81 crawl for ANH), theatrical PT, theatrical TFA
Complete saga, chronological order: '11 PT, '04 or '11 OT, theatrical TFA
Rister/Machete: Same as chronological, minus TFA
OT plus ST: Theatrical (SW w/'81 crawl) or '97 OT, theatrical TFA (and VIII and IX eventually)

The presence of the OT Blu-rays might appear disconcerting, but I almost never do those viewing orders anyway. '97 OT with TFA isn’t something I’ve actually done, but I’m planning to give it a go once Team Blu finishes their version.
