He's mad because he watches Star Wars the wrong way. Tell me the actual advantages by watching in that order. It refocuses the whole saga back to Luke, where it should be in the first place. It does a better job of drawing parallels between Luke and Anakin's struggle. It enhances Luke's flirtation with the dark side in Jedi, since we just watched Anakin get seduced by it. It maintains the surprise reveal that Vader is Luke's father, and Leia is his sister. It completely ignores the inconsequential Phantom Menace so you don't have to watch that piece of shit. And since episode one is ignored, its easier to forget about the massive inconsistencies it created with the rest of the saga. Also a lot less Jar Jar. And now to add to the list, it makes you salty.

Almost like centipede, I have the original versions too, but on LD. Back to Machete, the pacing is unbearable. Watching 4 and 5 is fine, but then watching 2 screws the pacing up so badly. And there's no point in watching 2 and 3 without 1. Where did Anakin come from? Just throw it away? Who is this Schmii? How did Darth Sidious become chancellor? There's more and more questions lingering if you show someone that order.

And there's no point in watching 2 and 3 without 1. Where did Anakin come from? Just throw it away? Who is this Schmii? How did Darth Sidious become chancellor? There's more and more questions lingering if you show someone that order. Scmii is he only thing thats odd in the machete order. Then again, we really get all we need to know about Scmii outside of episode I, so it still has no point of existing. All the characters motivations and the basic plot of I is summed up in the first 20 minutes of II, without endless bleating about trade negotiations that no one cares about. Qui Gon and Darth Maul are not referenced in any of the other episodes so they might as well not have existed in the first place. Yes, you can throw Anakin's origin away because midichlorians are dumb and, again, never referenced beyond a throwaway line in III. And there is not point watching a lousy movie just to understand five seconds of III. Remember, Machete order is about preserving Luke's story. What Star Wars was always about in the beginning. Anakin's character arc is totally uninteresting until the end of Jedi when he is redeemed so watching anymore of Anakin's adventures then you have to is just a chore. Episode I should be treated as supplemental material, because at the end of the day, that's what it is. It's really like what Rouge One and young Han Solo and whatever else they release are. Just flavor.
