Release order is the best way to view these. The story isn't told entirely in chronological order. That's what a prequel is.

I like the machette order because you just skip Ep1

I like the order where I don't watch them at all and instead watch the good movies, that are enjoyable to me

They are aliens . Anakin in particular is also a monster

If you don’t know he becomes Darth Vader!!!

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
I think a good order is 1-4-2-5-3-6, but I like stories that jump around chronologically

I had a friend who hadn't seen ANY star wars and wanted to watch them all, I managed to convince her to skip Ep1 and do the machette order and she had a good time.

In particular, Anakin was born a slave and is being raised as a celibate monk, and has a lot of trauma and repression as a result; and Padme is a workaholic career politician whose romantic experience up to that point is that she thought a boy was cute at junior legislator camp when she was twelve. You expect them to be suave?

Did you ever see Despicable Me? The character in that movie who is a villain like Anakin , has horrible relationships with people because he is a hosed up oerson

I think I saw the movie awhile ago I think that is what happens

It is also the same in the recent Joker movie : joker does not get along with people and is fixated on his mother

He’s basically Anakin

I wonder who the other candidate for queen was on Naboo

The Joker lives in a society, unlike Anakin

Probably someone very much like Padme and her successor, a well-spoken little girl in a fancy dress.

But here we are again, Prequel cultists saying that the acting and directing in those scenes was bad on purpose because they think George Lucas is a genius who can do no wrong.

Given who the characters are, would it make sense for them to act other than they do?

I always liked the one idea that Tattooine was the perfect hiding place for Luke because Vader loving hates that shithole and refuses to go there, and nobody else gives a poo poo.

Tough poo poo for Leia though

Even if it were, Goku could just go and train to raise his powerlevel. Midichlorians are static.

Remember how Leia remembered her mother only briefly, and that she was sad? George Lucas didn't.

It's a clever reference to Dune, Leia's an Abomination

Exactly, Goku would just hit infinity+1 power
