>Chronological of course.

Chronologically
The quality of the movies gets better and better going from Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi (although Empire is the best). You pretend everything Disney has made doesn't exist, but that's without saying at this point.

>Flashback 4,5,1,2,3,6?
Who the fuck would watch it this way
That's the most retarded order I've ever seen
Cooper Walker
You're both objectively wrong. Watching with the Flashback method allows for a deeper tragedy narrative with Vader and ultimately boosts the quality of the films as a whole.
Joshua Gutierrez
In what way is this not the best way to watch them ?
Charles Garcia
This. The real flashback order should be 4,1,5,2,3,6
Nathan Gutierrez
Release order obviously.
Jaxon Collins
just watch the original 3 and skip the rest
Carson Gonzalez
Chronological, including The Clone Wars for maximum payoff and kino
>b-but muh Vader reveal
-which you obviously know about, as does everyone who has ever heard of Star Wars. Lucas designed the PT to echo the OT while still working as an introduction to the universe for those who hadn't seen it, and he succeeded. Even if you think 4 is a better movie, I'd argue that 1 is just as good, if not better, as an introduction to the world and its characters.
And as for preserving twists, I'd argue the twists about Order 66, what happens to the Clones and the Jedi, ect, is must more exciting and better preserved when watching chronologically, than if you was to watch the OT first when you have more context to make some assumptions and piece things together early.
It's called the Machete order, some guy a few years ago wrote an essay that went viral arguing that the movies pay off better if you watch the PT as "flashbacks" before concluding the OT. I actually tried watching it that way once, regretably with someone who hadn't seen the movies before, and it didn't work as well as it was proposed in practice.
