I like the idea. May have to try it out when it comes time to introduce the saga to my son (although my wife is adamant that he doesn't need to see any of the prequels, but I figure he will anyway, so might as well do it myself).

1. I thought this was going to be a joke.

Duh, you watch it I - II - III - IV - V - VI.

But I think the proposed order on that page actually makes sense.

As the father of three boys who have never seen Star Wars, this was some useful information.

2. I like

the Machete order. May need to try this on the next pass through. It addresses the enormous loss of "ah-ha" if you don't watch IV first.

3. How about IV, V, VI, in the versions that weren't ex-post-facto screwed over by Lucas (so that the

ghost at the end of VI is actually Sebastian Shaw). And forget I, II, and III altogether.

The order he proposes isn't too bad, though.

7. The only thing I liked in Episode I

was the lightsaber fight with Qui Gonn then Obi Wan and Darth Maul.
