It used to be that I would say this order is the best: 4 5 6 1 2 3
However, now that episode 7 has been released, it would have to be 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 and that just seems like far too many sequels to understand what happens in the prequels and how they fit into the original trilogy.

So this is the order I'd choose now: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Get the prequels out of the way at the start. Because they are going to be releasing two more films in the new trilogy, the old method would end up being: 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3
And that's just too complicated.

there is so many different ways to watch it and alot of people argue about it and they say the best one seems to be the machete order which is 4,5,1,2,3,6,7 and for these reasons;



but id just watch them in release order the story really isnt to hard to figure out imo

Release order which is 4,5,6,1,2,3,7 or continuity order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 or 4,5,2,3,6,7.

You can skip episode 1 because it is by far the worst and really doesn't do much for the story. In fact you could almost pretend 1,2,3 don't exist. They are pretty terrible bar a few scenes in each.

I would just watch it from 1 to 7 I guess.

Machete order.

Movie 4, 5, 2, 3, 6, 7.
