    Been watching the SW movies recently on Netflix. Saw 4,5,6 (in that order) and then saw 2 and 3. 1 (TPM) is still showing as "very long wait" :-( Redbox doesn't have TPM either. I wodner what's so special about SW 1 that it's in so much demand, specially considering that many fans consider it the worst of the 6 movies. :~

      Maybe they are just embarrassed about putting it on?

        People are renting it and then microwaving the disc, claiming it never arrived. At least that is what I do. It is on permanent #1 spot for netflix. :-\

              So that's how you do, Nish. I would be interested to hear from others: If you had to subject a person who has never seen any of the SW movies to the entire series, what order would you show them in then? 1) The release order: 4,5,6,1,2,3 2) The chronological order: 1,2,3,4,5,6 3) Some other order determined by the dark side... ???

              Why can't I be applicable like John? - Me, April 2011

                            I can't remember where, but I read recently that this is a good order... 4,5,(1),2,3,6 Where 1(TPM) is optional, and you save Return of the Jedi till last, so as not to give too many "spoilers". I take no credit for this, I just can't remember where to give credit to. Iain.

                                    You know, I don't think Darth Vader smoked hash... :confused: Yoda might have, though. That sure would explain a lot! :doh:

                                      So that's how you do, Nish. I would be interested to hear from others: If you had to subject a person who has never seen any of the SW movies to the entire series, what order would you show them in then? 1) The release order: 4,5,6,1,2,3 2) The chronological order: 1,2,3,4,5,6 3) Some other order determined by the dark side... ???

                                      Partial chronological order: 2, 3, 4, 5. 1 and 6 are not worth watching, IMHO

                                        Maybe they are just embarrassed about putting it on?

                                        It certainly isn't very good (and the critics rate it generally lower than the other 5) but honestly... I like it better that #2 and #3. IMO "Revenge of the Sith" is just plain awful!

                                          Been watching the SW movies recently on Netflix. Saw 4,5,6 (in that order) and then saw 2 and 3. 1 (TPM) is still showing as "very long wait" :-( Redbox doesn't have TPM either. I wodner what's so special about SW 1 that it's in so much demand, specially considering that many fans consider it the worst of the 6 movies. :~

                                          Regards, Nish

                                          George Lucas quit Hollywood and took that piece of crap with him.
