Yes.

If/when you watch the prequels, the Star Wars Clone Wars 2D micro-series can be watched in-between 2 and 3. It covers a bit of the gap, and the end of it directly leads into 3. It's also incredible.

Enough of it is written with the expectation that the audience already has seen Episode 3 that I dont recommend watching it before that.

Yes I would say to just watch in release order

What? None of the 2D Clone Wars is written with the expectation you've already seen ep 3. What are you talking about? It was released before ep 3 too.

Release order IMO, feel like it rewards a lot of fans with scenes that wouldnt make sense for a first time viewer

Honestly watch 4,5 and 6 then decide if you really like it.

The rest of the movies range from pretty bad to highly divisive

Also if you were to start randomly at any movie not 1 or 4 I think this is the one I would pick for no reason other than it is a well made movie that disregards star wars lore entirely so it works as a stand alone.

If you're going with this logic better yet watch an actual well made scifi movie that works as a stand alone and disregards Star Wars lore entirely like The Fifth Element or something.

I mean sure, but I'm talking in comparisons to other SW movies.

If you randomly watched episode 2 first it would both be confusing and bad

Episode 2 would be bad but not super confusing actually. Star Wars movies have weak continuity. I think Return of the Jedi is the only one that I'd call overly confusing to start with.

I just don't understand the merit of watching a below average sci fi flick that disregards Star Wars lore as an introduction to Star Wars lore. At that point you might as well just watch the best movie you can and use your pop culture knowledge to serve as your introduction to Star Wars if you want to watch a different one.

Also, it doesn't disregard Star Wars lore. Probably leans on it more than its surrounding two films.

Disregards is probably the wrong word yeah.

It regards the lore and intentionally subverts it whenever it's remotely convenient to. Which again makes it kinda serve the opposite purpose to a useful introduction film.

Gonna pop this in spoilers so that Poka's topic isn't completely ruined...

Episode 7 uses existing assets, but completely wipes the slate. What happened in ROTJ is said to basically have not mattered. Episode 9 is similar - uses existing assets, but is so irreverent to the existing movies, especially Episode 8, that anything goes.

Episode 8 is RELIANT on existing lore, because it tries hard to give a message of moving on. Without the Jedi order, understanding of its fall, who Luke was and why he might be in exile... that's all nothing without understanding. The themes that Johnson fails to land are all based on knowing where Star Wars has come from. Without that, it's just a weird movie about a master that is not established at all, weird space magic, and an hour of action and plot that has zero impact on the movie's outcome. A well-made movie, that is not.

Machete order made a certain kind of sense pre-sequel trilogy* when Return of the Jedi was the climax to everything, but now that the sequels are out and completed, release order makes the most sense.

*Was it even around then?
