Star Wars, the machete order, then the sequels.
for anyone interested in machete order: https://www.rodhilton.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/#toc-introducing-machete-order
When watching the machete order, did you skip episode 1 like suggested here? Because if yes, then watching it this way and then adding the sequels seems like a contradiction to me. Episode 1 may be a failure in execution, but the core concept imo is solid. Can't say the same about the sequels, even if they look prettier (to the point of doing stupid scenes just for the visuals).
yes! the machete order refocuses the storyline on luke instead of anakin, which allegedly is what george lucas had visioned.
tbh the sequels are so far beyond the original timeline that they don’t necessarily need any type of preamble, especially in relation to episode 1. every that ties into the sequels can be got from the machete order, imo.
