the OT is much more enjoyable after PTIf you haven't seen the OT the PT is a confusing mess.
For a first time watcher, anything other than 4-5-6-1-2-3 is a mistake.
If you're rewatching, it doesn't really matter. I personally would do the same as above if I were to rewatch them all in a row but I never do that.
For a new person I'd probably recommend release 4-5-6-1-2-3-7-8-9
If I rewatch them just gonna do it chronologically 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
Those that say 4-5-6-1-2-3 if you've never seen it, is it so that the viewer won't know aboutI think that's kind of an inescapable spoiler. But in concept, yes, that's part of it.
Those that say 4-5-6-1-2-3 if you've never seen it, is it so that the viewer won't know about Luke, Leia, and Vader being related?
I prefer 4,5,6 and pretending none of the others exist.There was some cool stuff in 3 and 7.

I would actually rate 7 above 6, tbh.
For a first time watcher, anything other than 4-5-6-1-2-3 is a mistake.It's more powerful for new viewers to watch 6 at the end. They're bawling when they see Hayden Christensen pop up. Also gives more impact to Yoda and the Emperor since we spent 3 movies getting to know them better.

Also gives more impact to Yoda and the Emperor since we spent 3 movies getting to know them better.Instead of full machete, could put the prequels in the middle of Jedi, after Luke and Obi-Wan's scene on Dagobah, almost like he's relaying the story to Luke and finally coming clean. Not only keeps the big reveal in Empire a surprise, but also the one from that scene in Jedi. Then the only major out of order reveal is the Emperor's capabilities (which were hinted at by Yoda's warning) and keeps the happy ending.
So with that said, I'm clearly a machete fan. Chronological is good too.
But for my genuine watch order of the series it's:
Theatrical Star Wars (1977), theatrical Empire, then the entire series shows and all in chronological order, including upgraded versions of 4 and 5 (I watch fan edits that go even further than Lucas's special editions).
Those that say 4-5-6-1-2-3 if you've never seen it, is it so that the viewer won't know about Luke, Leia, and Vader being related?It is so they understand what the heck SW is about, if you try watching for the first time the PT first you have no clue on what the hell a jedi, the force, or anything is.
