Proper order to watch the Star Wars movies?

[Cheesegear]

Episode II is clearly the worst, which is a big reason why I dislike the Machete Order because it suggests watching that while skipping ep I, which while not technically a good movie is at least more enjoyable.

The Machete Order is only interested in what makes the best story. 'Fun having' isn't factored into it. And the original article says as much.
FAQ to the original article, which addresses many problems.

The purpose of Machete Order was and always will be to refocus the story of the Original and Prequel Trilogies to be about Luke's journey.

...That's it. Watching in chronological order makes it Anakin's story.

Also, hate towards Jar-Jar is memetically exaggerated. He is annoying but not as annoying as to ruin a whole movie all by himself.

There are so many problems with the production of Episode I, and Jar-Jar is simply emblematic of all of them. He isn't the most egregious flaw of Episode I, but he is the most obvious. Because he is the most obvious, that's what gets the most hate.
