The right way to watch Star Wars (aka "The Machette viewing order")
- A New Hope (episode IV, the one people mean when you say “Star Wars”)
- The Empire Strikes Back (episode V)
- Attack of the Clones (episode II)
- Revenge of the Sith (episode III)
- Return of the Jedi (episode VI).
“Basically you have the original trilogy with a big two-film flashback at the cliffhanger at the end of Empire. And no Phantom Menace at all.” http://www.thevine.com.au/entertainment/movies/the-right-way-to-watch-star-wars-20130115-259271
