This episode of Podcast with a Porpoise is on my drive home from the day job while I discuss re-watching the Star Wars films in anticipation of Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
Do the films make more sense if we watch them out of order? I offer up for your consideration, the Machete Order!
So what’s your thoughts? Still not enough to make you watch the prequels? Already done this?
Let me know!

Interesting notion. Not sure I’ll have time or opportunity to do this I don’t have copies of all of the movies right now), but I think it’s a pretty valid theory, and I’m not so slavish to the canon that I can’t imagine watching the machete order (with or without episode one; although I rather liked it) would ruin the experience. Perhaps it would redeem some of the prequel excesses. I would certainly hope so.
Enjoy your trip down memory lane, man, and I hope the new movie proves to be as enjoyable for you as I’m hoping it’ll be for me.
