I don’t have the attention span to sit through a Star Wars marathon (never mind the free time for such an undertaking), but if I did I’d probably watch them in “chronological” order, which is to say Episodes I through VI. I’ve said before that I think The Phantom Menace was a far better movie than Send In The Clones, so I don’t feel like this would start it off with a dud, and if I were going to make this investment I figure I ought to at least see what the story arc was, assuming Lucas really had one (not a safe bet).
So that’s how I’d do it. Your mileage may vary. And may I just say, I’d rather go for the Kurt Russell-a-thon, too. It’s been too long since I’ve seen Big Trouble in Little China. How about it, Pete?
