What is recommended way to watch the Star Wars series? (lemmy.zip)

This is my first time watching any Star Wars content. From what I understand and remember I should be watching it in chronological order and I should only watch I-VI since from what I heard that those are the only ones that are actually worth a watch.

Main question

For the original trilogy I've decided to watch the 4K77, 4k80, and 4k83 v1.0 no DNR but I want to know what is the the definitive way to watch the prequels so I wanted to ask which Blu-ray release or fan edit or any release should I look for?

Sorry if I'm asking the wrong community, but I saw a post before in a Star Wars community and it doesn't look like there was much discussion on it.

I'd do my best to watch them in the order they were commercially released so you can appreciate how damaging and awful the edits are.

Either or, but the commercial release order is more dramatic. 1-3 are technically prequels, so they are more answering questions and laying backstory. Release order also follows the evolution of the sfx.

There's also the Machete Order. The TL;DR is to watch the movies in the order of: IV, V, II, III, VI. The reasons why are explained at that link and can't be discussed without spoilers.

The non-spoiler tl;dr is that it maintains Star Wars as Luke's story.

Do you mean watching the theatrical release of the original trilogy, then watching the specialized edition, then the DVD re-releases, then the prequels, then the blu-ray re-releases, then the sequel trilogy?

"Is this an episode of The Big Bang Theory?"
