Bugger. I need to rewatch the prequel trilogy for canon research purposes. I barely remember Ep2, and I wandered in and out of Ep3, so...yeah, it's going to be a slog to actually pay attention.
Also, why don't I yet have any Star Wars icons, dammit?
Funny story: I havea quilting group I attend a couple of weekends a month, and there's a woman at them who is seriously focused on doing things the right way. I am a "does it work? y/y? Then it's all good!" kind of person, while she is a "but am I doing it the right and proper way?"
At Saturday's group, it was mentioned that she was going to see Episode VII, and someone talked about doing a rewatch of the old one.
One of the women at the group said (in her typical, I-am-absolutely-certain-of-this way) "the order to watch them in is 4, 5, then 1, 2, and 3, and then Episode 6, that way you get to the end of the revelation, and flashback to Anakin Skywalker's history in 1-3, before continuing to Episode 6. And then you can watch Episode VII."
Needless to say, the lady who Likes To Do It Right was very anxious that she'd been watching it 'the wrong way'. I tried to reassure her, but she was quite intent on writing down the 'proper order'.
I'm good friends with the Absolutely Certain woman, and I love her very dearly. But man, sometimes I think that there's no halfway with her.

My daughter is one of those people though. She's a very concrete thinker and likes to make sure things are being done in the right and proper way. No half way about it. Some people are just like that. Husband is like that too.

Oh yeah. I'm completely in your camp! And the easier it is, the happier I am to do it!

I've heard that rewatch order. I've also heard of doing them 1,4,2,5,3,6, or something of that kind. I just find it really hard not to watch the OT in one go though.
(I did a big TFA icon round up a few posts ago, if you want to try there).

It worked ok, in particular because 3 is *so* upsetting (distressed child crying "why did Anakin have to turn to the dark side!" and needing much comforting), being able to follow that immediately with 6 is very restorative.
(but any way is fine, honestly, you probably get different things out of seeing them in a different order, and in any case I probably have 4-6 almost memorised through tens and tens of watches as a child, but was very meh about 1-3, so that affects things too)
