Comment on Wait until you hear about a character named Jar Jar Binks! It's well worth the wait.

  I assumed this meant she showed them the Machete and Spy Kids films, aka the Trejo-verse.

  No need to talk about a background character with a few lines.

  Uhh, Jar Jar has a pretty key role in Episode 3…

  So uh what’s the rationale behind Machete order? Keep you in suspense?

    By watching the films in this order, you not only avoid spoilers entirely, but also maintain the original narrative’s focus. Essentially you follow Luke on his coming of age story up until he loses his hand to Vader on Cloud City and finds out that he is his father, before going on an extended two-film flashback where we see how Anakin became Vader and conceived Luke, before then snapping back to the present for the finale.

        What’s that?

        Machete order says you should skip 1 because it’s bad and allegedly doesn’t add anything to the story, particularly if you’re looking at 2 and 3 as providing more context around Luke’s story in the OT.

  Ain’t nothing wrong with release order, IMO. The differences in cinematography, direction, special effects, ect. become distracting when the trilogies are broken up like that.

  To really enhance the cultural zeitgeist of the early 2000s, the prequel trilogy should be experienced with a set of Taco Bell promotional cups and contest pieces from eBay. Alternatively, one could purchase a Pepsi from one of the surviving Phantom Menace vending machines.

  But then we can’t see anyone cast summon greater fish! Best part of the trilogy

  Responding to your deleted comment, I’m genuinely not sure how Jar Jar’s role in the downfall of the Republic in Episode 3 is the joke being made by this comment. Sorry.

    Why respond to deleted comments? I deleted it less than 30 seconds after making it.

      Because my app shows it to me and I wanted to understand.
