Titolo: Which Movie First

 1,2,3 or 1,2,3,4,5,6?
Neither.

 story less powerful.
Yes, seeing so much of Anakin as a spunky 9-year old does make the Vader
fall/redemption that much more intimate. They're drawbacks to both orders,
but I think the release order is the better tradeoff. Of course, I may
change my mind after seeing what ep2-3 delivers.

Given that the new films are prequels and that they are made after the
origional flilms in which way round should they be watched?, 5,4,6 then
1,2,3 or 1,2,3,4,5,6?

If someone who had never seen a SW film before asked me, I'd tell them to
watch them in the order in which they were filmed. I think the prophetic
nature of things in TPM makes them even more interesting, and is a unique
way of seeing a story.

 apparently die (perhaps at the end of Chapter III).
But then a lot of the 4-5-6-knowledgable fans (who will make it up the
majority of ep3's first-release audience) will feel gypped because they
never get to see Darth Vader, or Obi-Wan's reaction to what his apprentice
has become (I'm hoping we see Amidala and Shmi's reactions too.) I know I
will.
Personally, I hope Lucas just accepts that this is a story that got told
backward and doesn't compromise the 4-5-6-1-2-3 crowd in order to please the
1-2-3-4-5-6 crowd. If you try to please two separate camps, you may end up
making neither one happy. And IMO, TPM is a much better movie for the
4-5-6-1-2-3 crowd than for the new viewer so I think the die's already been
cast.

Yes, but if the films are viewed in that order, the viewers will not notice
the connection between Sidious and Palpatine until later on, and also won't
really see the importance of Palpatine's role until they have already
watched at least two movies containing him (therefore missing out on details
in TPM).

4,5,6 then 1,2,3
If you started with 1, the really great moment in ESB ("I am your
father") would be pretty lame...

 change my mind after seeing what ep2-3 delivers.
Actually, if Lucas handles it right, he can make it so that anyone (in
the future) that had not seen any of the episodes....could watch
1,2,3,4,5 and 6 in order of Chapter and be surprised.
How?
He would show the battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin, where Anakin falls
into the molten pit.  From the perspective.....Anakin would be shown to
apparently die (perhaps at the end of Chapter III).  Then when Chapter
IV begins and we meet Darth Vader, it would only appear that Vader was
Palpatine's next apprentice after Anakin, rather than Anakin in a
"mobile life support" unit.  When I first saw Star Wars, I was not under
the assumption that the suit kept Vader alive.  I just thought it was a
tool used by him to instill fear.  It wasn't until ESB, when you see
Vader's helmet coming down that you realize that he suffered some
physiological trauma....which at the point of the person watching them
in chronological order would say..."Could it be???  Nawww!!!!  But
maybeeeeeee.....maybe Anakin didn't die and Vader is really Anakin!!!"
and, of course, they would be right.
Again....it really depends on how Lucas handles the transformation from
Jedi to Sith Apprentice and whether he has Anakin change identities
before the fall into the molten pit or after.

Then maybe when they're done, he'll start with Episode -1, and -2, and
-3....

 -3....
Ouch, it's becoming too similar to math lessons ;)

Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

4,5,6,1,2,3 and here's why.
Due to my downright loathing of TPM, I think the trilogy should be split
in two.  The last 3, and the first 3.  The first 3 shouldn't taint what
is a legend in film. I'm treating them as...like...distant cousins...NOT
a prequel.
And since the original is phenomenal...people should watch that first,
so the prequels don't take away from the greatness with cheesy jar jar
characters and lame plots, etc.

Small point, but as Maul leads the fight out of the hanger to the 'set of
bridges', he uses the telekenisis move on a container to open the hanger door.
Doesn't detract from your point, though.
