The Phantom Menace and 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... ???

Just because a thing is new don’t mean that it’s better - Will Rogers, September 4, 1932I 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.

If you show them in chronological order, then people are going to wonder why, in a Star Wars universe of really, really shiny metal, Darth Vader looks so horribly low-tech at the end of episode 3. By getting them used to the lower (but better) quality of special effects, you innoculate them to this.

They could have made him a more sophisticated and better looking arm, but he deliberately went for the Steam Punk option.

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

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?

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!

They do, and the Phantom Menace belongs in a galaxy far, far away.

The first part of 6 is worth watching. Well, until they leave Tatooine.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
