re: Watching Star Wars using the Machete Order

He made the argument that omitting Episode 1 didn't impact the understanding of the story arc

I agree, nothing that happens in I is meaningful to the next 2.

For those asking the Machete Order is : IV, V, II, III, VI. skip !.

Another has IV, V, I, II, III, VI.

I'll add to my order, watch the Red Letter Media deconstruction of Episode I, its hilarious and one of the best pieces of film criticism you will ever see. The Sp II and III break downs are also funny but not quite as good.
