Introducing the series? (self.star_wars)

My boyfriend knows absolutely nothing about the series other than that Natalie Portman is in the prequels. He wants to watch the prequels first - he likes her and is convinced you’re supposed to watch them in order.

I’m advocating Machete order (with pre-Special Edition VHS rips), but he really wants to watch Phantom Menace and I’m not sure where to put Rogue One/what other non-mainline material to include.

Do normies tend to like the sequels? I’ve told him upfront that I dislike them immensely, but I’ll tolerate them for him.

This may come across as ridiculous but please understand - I’m just trying to maximize my chance of a couples Han/Chewie Halloween costume this year.

I grew up watching SW and the prequels came out when I was young. I enjoyed them as a stupid kid and then hated them as I grew up though. I recently rewarched them and they aren't nearly as bad as I remember, with the exception of Jar Jar who I always forget just how horrible he is whenever he's on screen. I think it could just be how bad the rest of SW is now (with the exception of Andor, which is I think my favorite piece of SW media in totality) that helps me enjoy them more. I've seen how bad things can be so I appreciate that the prequels didn't get that bad.
