Let me tell you about the machete order.
I've very recently gotten VERY drunk and watched the prequels, and I've heard people on this board saying the machete order "IV-V-II-III-VI" is the best order to watch the Star Wars movies. These people are fucking deluded and insane, or have forgotten how bad the prequels really are. You go from arguably the best movie in the series, to arguably the WORST in the series. Spending five or so hours of your life watching these things before you've finished the OT is a terrible idea. They are so bad that they are not worth your time, entertainment-wise. Spend those five hours watching Star Wars Clone Wars or something, and if it's not your thing, drop it.
The whole thing of "Preserving the twist" or "Expanding on the backstory of Vader" is fucking bullshit. If you are alive at this point in time, and you aren't a small child, you already know the twist. There is no twist to preserve, it's so fucking ingrained in our pop culture, that you might as well try and preserve the twist of Sixth Sense or Jesus dying. As for the story of Vader, it's not worth the time. Episode III is the best of the three, but it's still a 5/10. It's so bad and offensive to the senses, that anyone who has never seen Star Wars will be turned off of watching Episode VI just from the sheer shit of those prequels.
If you've never seen Star Wars, watch the original trilogy like everyone else did before the new ones. And if you REALLY want to watch the prequels, find an edit of all three of them together. Pray to God that Topher Grace edit finds its way onto the internet, because that's probably the best way to watch it. Only watch the prequels if you are drunk, in pain, and hate your life.
