Really intriguing. As someone who has watched the movies endlessly since I could ever remember, the Machete order seems very logical and a great way to introduce people to Star Wars. | ||

I'm just curious why people like these movies, except for 'everybody says it is good so I will watch it and say it so epic thrilling good too'. | ||

If I watch the series I just do it in the usual order, skip the Jar Jar bits in the first one where possible, skip 50% of episode 2 cause it's awful, then most of Episode 3 til the betrayal starts to happen cause General Grevious is fucking horrible. I would never tell someone to not watch Episode 1, Podracing is awesome and Darth Maul is a great villain. You just need to remind them Jar Jar has about 5 minutes of screen time after EP1! | ||

Maybe 30 years ago it was a breakthrough and started new genre, but from today perspective it has second-class actors and so full of cliches that you can predict any upcoming plot 'twist' like killing all bad guys without a scratch or falling in love/rescuing a beautiful princess or getting away from death AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND WOWOWOWOW SO CLOSE. I'm just curious why people like these movies, except for 'everybody says it is good so I will watch it and say it so epic thrilling good too'. It's a simple story told in an interesting universe. Stuff don't have to be overly complex or have huge unexpected twists to be enjoyable. | ||

I just might arrange a movie-weekend with my friends to rewatch Starwars in a better order. It's a simple story told in an interesting universe. Stuff don't have to be overly complex or have huge unexpected twists to be enjoyable. That exactly. And also, the whole falling in love/rescuing a beautiful princess with the heros getting away without a scratch were homages to movie serials and what not (iirc, that's what George Lucas said in his interviews). Also, I'm pretty sure James Earl Jones, Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness, and Peter Cushing are not second-class actors. | ||

It's fun, basic story telling done well. If you thought that the good guys winning was a "plot twist" you are doing it wrong. | ||

Mostly though this article just reminded me of the worst part of episode I, no not the pod racing (awful) or jarjar binks (dreadful) My worst moments were, Darth Maul. He was supposed to be so badass, a straight up killer, untouchable fighter and then he fell down a shaft...I've never recovered from the injustice that was Darth Mauls portrayl in Episode 1. Haha you make his death sound even more lame than it was. He didn't just trip and fall into a shaft and die, he was bisected with a saber thrust he could've seen coming for several seconds. | ||

I may make her watch the remaining movies in the order suggested. I got my wife to watch episode IV, and that's all I've been able to do. I'll probably make her watch V and then give up on making her watch any of the others. She's a bit stubborn in her tastes. I'll definitely continue watching in this order though. I'm very much in favour of any order that leaves out Episode I completely | ||
