Another Star Wars thread - BengalHawk62 - 01-15-2016
I didn't know people like this even existed, but apparently I married one, if you knew someone who has never seen a nanosecond of any Star Wars movies, how would you show them the 7 movies out now? Would you go Episodes 4-5-6, then 1-2-3 or would you do it chronologically, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7? I personally think 4-5-6 are sufficient enough for them. Maybe a little bit of Episode 3, just to get some of the Vader backstory.
If this has already been talked about, my apologies. Mods can delete the thread.

Hawk, if you truly love your wife you would not force her to sit through 1,2,3!
I'm with you...4,5,6 and then when she says...."man that Vader dude is just a big meanie"...you show her the second half of 3. Then she'll get it and she wont be subject to too much Jar Jar Binks.
Then you be a good guy and take her out for dinner and episode 7

4-5-6 is it.... i wouldnt watch any others..
3 turns vader into a crying B***** and i lost all respect for him
If you can get the original 4-5-6 not the remastered crap.
1 is unwatchable except for the darth maul fight
2 is good action

how they messed up 1 with Darth Maul, Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson I'll never know. Any movie with those two guys and that villain should have been one for the ages.
however....as you said Xeno...unwatchable.

So, I know I'm the odd man out on this one, but I'm for showing them all. There is a story there that helps run throughout the series. Yes, they did a horrible job telling it, but I think it is important to get that whole story in. The order, for me, depends on how much they know already. If they know Anakin is Vader and he is the father to Luke and Leia, then show them in order 1-6. If they don't know anything about the series, watch them in the order they came out in.
Just my opinion on it all.

It seriously could go down as one of the most mismanaged movies ever.
ESPECIALLY if you believe in the Darth Darth Binks theory.

They are not so bad. It explains much of the story, you can't bypass these and the Clone Wars cartoons are awesome.

4,5,6,1,2,3,7
It's that simple. You should watch the prequels for more on the Jedi Order. You should watch it for the Obi-Wan backstory. You should watch it to see how Anakin fell.
The issue with the prequels is that George Lucas focused too much on Anakin and Padme story and not enough on the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan. It should have been about how Obi-Wan failed him as a master. Too much of their story was put into the cartoons and not the movies.

They explain in Lucas' awful retconned fashion.
The lore of Star Wars before the prequels was better than the prequels that Lucas muffed hard.
They have some redeeming parts, but that part of the story can be shown through youtube clips and a 30 second explanation.

He tried to do too much with certain things instead of keeping it simple and letting the story tell itself.
