From what I read and understood at the time, Machete Order lists it as optional. I don't know why.

The pod race scene was HT excellence, too.

The prequels went into the politics of how got to where we were in the original. Without getting into spoilers, I understand the why of the ideology of the Empire. Honestly, I thought of parallels to the world today. The originals didn't have that kind if depth to me. And like I said, I knew some of the Star Wars universe already so I wasnt really shocked by anything.

Episode 4 Episode 5 Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8 Seeing Episode I - III before VI allowed me to: Spoiler 1) Be caught totally off-guard with Luke and Leia being revealed as siblings (no, I never knew this before seeing it). 2) Humanizing Darth Vader a little more, making you feel it when he dies in Episode VI. As far as Rogue One, I don't know if it's because of the "downgrade" that you get in visuals and effect going from R1 to IV (especially the Vader corridor scene to Vader vs. Obi Wan) or the prequel effect of seeing Leia at the end after having seen Episode IV, but I don't know if I like seeing that one first as much. I feel like Rogue One should just be watched at any point after Episode VII. I like getting Rey as our first female lead, and then you can go to Jyn thereafter. Oh, and unless they continue that Solo timeline, **** that one. I doubt it's on Disney+ right now anyway for contractual reasons.

Spoiler

They humanized Vader in Episodes I and II and then do the reverse in III. There is no humanizing a guy who murders younglings. If anything it made me feel more standoff-ish towards Vader.

Vader did what he to Sidious when he was already sort of dying, very convenient. It would like Himmler killing Hitler just before the end of the war. Like, thanks, but how about you kill yourself too.

Vader is a character one shouldn't think about too much in depth because if you do, that one act at the end doesn't override his war crimes. If Vader had survived Episode VI he would had been tried Nuremberg style. But I digress.

PS: I said all of this acknowledging that Star Wars movies aren't meant to be taken too seriously.

Having The Sandlot is a big plus for me. One of my all time faves.

Just saw Togo got a new poster and just saw that the mandalorian 7th episode is coming out on Wednesday the 18th instead of the 20th. I guess they figured it was better to have it not be the same night has opening night of Rise of skywalker.

You have never seen the animated movie Balto from 1995? It was based of the same store. I had not heard of Togo before this but both Balto and Togo are from the same event that happened. Its basically about sled dogs that are trying to take some medicine threw a storm 600 miles to save people. Its a cool true story and i love dogs and wolves so yeah i am pretty excited about this.
