    Honestly Phantom Menace becomes a lot more watchable if you track down and watch a fan cut called The Phantom Edit, which gets rid of a lot of the Jar Jar and some of the other worst bits of nonsense.

    I'm an advocate of always watching/reading/playing the thing in the order that it came out, even if the author says another order is optimal. So IV - V - VI - I - II - III. Same goes for Kingdom Hearts and the Chronicles of Narnia

    IV, V, II, III, VI

    Just don't even bother with Phantom Menace.

    This.

    But if you do watch the prequels it is perfectly acceptable to ignore episode I since nothing that happens in it is overly important to anything that happens after, I trout you not. But you'll also avoid a lot of bad cgi and plot holes of you don't watch the prequels at all.
    Am I the only one who thought that Phantom Menace was the best of the prequel films? Jar Jar Binks is one of the most annoying characters ever, but I just blank him. Attack had that tedious, overwrought and stupidly angsty romance plot, and Revenge upped the angst to an even more unbearable level.
    I agree that it's actually the best of them, mostly because the directing and effects are the least awful of them all. But as far as how relevant the movies are to things that happen after them, there's pretty much nothing that happens in it that's important to future movies.

    Default I still love Rey a lot.

    Just end with VI in regardless of the sequence. Dun venture into IX.
