How should I watch Star Wars?

[Thurman]

I would watch them in the exact same order as they appeared in the theater.

I will agree with an earlier post and watch in the following order...
New Hope
Empire Stikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Rouge One
Fantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
The Force Awakens

[RNO]

Or you can try watching the fan edit instead :
- Star Wars - Episode I - Cloak of Deception (2014)
- Star Wars - Episode II - The Approaching Storm (2014)
- Star Wars - Episode III - Labyrinth of Evil (2014)

the despecialized editions are also worth a watch.

Will try to show them in chronological order to people new to the series. Also, I would just stop after episode III, none of the Disney's.
Personally, I still honor the prequels, as they tried to expand the universe.

Return of the Jedi....

I prefer them in the order of release.

It's like asking if one should watch the MCU in order of release, or in "movie chronological" order..

I think in the case of Star Wars, each of the trilogies can sort of stand on their own, but Lucas did try to make them make sense. I think a pivotal moment is still how Queen Armadillo points out that "this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause." It explains how did the original trilogy come to be.

Shout out to the Despecialised 4K editions. Best way to watch the OT...
