My issue is more the fact that everything is all old republic stuff and I just really want to see more of the rebellion stuff. Sure the original trilogy has its faults but the prequel trilogy just has way more glaring ones, to me anyways. I still enjoy them but if I ever introduce anyone to the saga I always start with 4-6 then 1-3.
Prepare to nerd out, there are several ways of viewing the Star Wars hexology/saga.
1) Theatrical release order: IV, V, VI, I, II, III
2) Chronological order: I, II, III, IV, V, VI
3) The 'Ernst Rister order': IV, V, I, II, III, VI
4) The 'Machete order': IV, V, II, III, VI (note that Episode I is missing)
I like the last two because they actually focus on making the story make sense. From the original blog post that deals with the 'Machete Order':
Every character established in Episode I is either killed or removed before it ends (Darth Maul, Qui-Gon, Chancellor Valorum), unimportant (Nute Gunray, Watto), or established better in a later episode (Mace Windu, Darth Sidious).
He's kind of got a point. Without relying on the Plinket commentary, Episode 1, whether you love or hate it, is kind of irrelevant in this trilogy, and the saga itself. The idea that the story is left with the cliffhanger of Episode V, before fleshing out the story of Anakin Skywalker via Episodes II and III makes for a more satisfying conclusion in VI.
If you're going to introduce someone new to Star Wars, make it either options 3 or 4.
