Btw. Rogue one is the best star wars film.
Because it is what it is and doesn't try to be what it's not.

I shall merely remark that R1 would not exist without ep 4 and that at least two sequels are retreads of episode 4, such is the strength of its influence.Nobody is ever going to remake The Phantom Menace. Nobody.

There I agree.
I prefer R1 as it is "normal" people and doesn't relybon Luke Skywalker being Harry potter in space.
I also like it (spoiler alert) that they all die.
Better story than IV, which is basically the American exceptionalism version of David Vs Goliath meets Yojimbo.
Just my view

I like that article about Machete order. I also like that I is gone.
I think I had some problems with the sexual politics in IV.

I like to think of epi 4 as Dambusters in space.

I'd go with that JB. Except that it's Harry potter flying the plane.

Although I'm struggling to fit Yoda into that particular mash-up.
Magical green alien doesn't fit into the dambusters thing.
