I've only seen bits and pieces of the original three and maybe 10 minutes of episode II. I don't really understand the craze and don't anticipate getting hooked, but I will have a lot of time over semester break and figured I should watch them all just to see what they're about. Should I watch them starting with episode IV or episode I? Episodes I-III are pretty bad, right? What's your advice?
Just watch Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
The other movies that Lucas made should be erased from history.
WORD!
There are exactly these 3 movies, and there will never be more.
Forget everything else.
Start with IV.

Agreed.
Yeah just do IV - VI
I don't understand the hate going on with 'A New Hope' it's a good opening for the story.
The important thing is to find the least unaltered copy of them. Lucas went back and added some really terrible special effects to them
The only correct answer is Machete Order:

Seriously. This is brilliant nerd-dom.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that shit Lucas added.
Just watch the original 3 in order without the added horseshit. Like just find some VHS copies or something.
Save your time, you'll only be disappointed. Watch something good like the Lord of the Rings trilogy instead.
what's the one with Jar Jar Binks? That's the only one worth watching. Just watch it 6 x in a row and you'll be good.

HOW DARE YOU!!!
The original 3 Star Wars movies beats that elf shit any day.
Just watch the movie that was called Star Wars.
It's all you need. It has a beginning, middle and end.
You don't need a prequel to understand it.
You don't need a sequel to conclude it.
You don't need to watch 10 additional hours of movies that aren't as good.

I agree with his opinion.
I had an X-Wing Fighter, Tie Fighter, Millennium Falcon, Death Star, Land Cruiser and most of the characters as toys.
I think they all went to the trash during a move. (sad face)
I can't get through the first 15 minutes and it's not like I've got a short attention span, I've read all the "Song of Ice and Fire" books.
Machete order - definitely the way forward. The logic is impeccable and it makes the themes much clearer.

As a self-professed star wars fan I'm surprised that I never knew about this. My mind was literally blown - Thank You

This is beautiful. Never watching the movies in any other order again.

As a Star Wars fan you need to watch the original 3 as they were originally made and that's it...NOTHING ELSE!!!
