So today I am doing the marathon thing with my friend Vicky, and I have to wonder what everyone feels the proper order for a Star Wars marathon is.

To me, it makes sense to go from the OT to the PT, so that you're experiencing the movies in the order in which things were meant to be revealed. It also makes sense for this particular marathon in order to properly set yourself up to watch the new movie tonight.

However, I could also see the merit in doing the marathon in chronological order within the context of the films, and watching the prequels before the originals. This makes more sense to me after you have RotS in hand, though. It doesn't really work with my brain to do it until the final piece is there. But once I have, say, RotS on DVD, I am willing to try it out.

I just kind of wonder what the preferred marathoning style of my fellow obsessed individuals might be.
