dude, I originally watched them by numbers (I to VI), which was a huge mistake. By Ep III you become a fan of Palps and how he pushes all into darkness, and you want to see him bleed, and so you eagerly pop in IV - the heralded classic and masterpiece!!!- and
- Palps is not there! The dismanteling of the senate/Republic is only mentioned en passant... - all is dumbed down to a cheesy 70ies Space Western - Vader is there, but pathetically bickering and mocked by some mid level losers; he even tortures his daughter without noticing her looking and feeling like Padme (what about the Force downloaded, do you have to be a Mary Sue for that?) - Obi Wan becomes a pathological old liar (why), even letting Luke face Vader without telling the truth, same with Yoda (thanks convoluted OT twist writing) - Luke and Leia are lame, even flirting, and Obi says nothing when Luke gets the hots for hologram Leia (WTF!) - in the end Palps get defeated and outwitted by some teddy bears (no joke)
You must watch them chronologically first time, or you will not appreciate the OT as a narrative. Interesting perspective. Do you think Machete order (IV, V, I-III, VI) would mitigate this at all or no?
