This is the ultimate in nerdery. Thanks to Absolutely No Machete Juggling
Next time you want to introduce someone to Star Wars for the first time, watch the films with them in this order: IV, V, II, III, VI
Notice something? Yeah, Episode I is gone.
I think that it totally makes sense. I don't have any real issue with Episode I and in fact, took my kids to see it in 3D a couple weeks ago.- but I have to agree that this order would make for a more interesting story Arc.
