How To Watch The Movies In The New Machete Order – 247 News Around The World

In his original blog post, Rod Hilton claims “The Phantom Menace” is irrelevant to the Machete Order because it adds nothing to Luke Skywalker’s story. When defending his stance, he said, “Every character established in [‘The Phantom Menace’] is either killed or removed before it ends (Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Chancellor Valorum), unimportant (Nute Gunray, Watto), or established better in a later episode (Mace Windu, Darth Sidious). Does it ever matter that Palpatine had an apprentice before Count Dooku? … Does it ever matter that Obi-Wan was being trained by Qui-Gon? Nope … “

Hilton also notes that by excluding “The Phantom Menace,” midi-chlorians, Jar-Jar Binks (Ahmed Best), and young Anakin Skywalker (Jake Llyod, who fans bashed) are all but erased from the lore, something he believes to be a net positive. The only other significant change is the Machete Order places “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith” right after Luke realizes Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) is his father in “The Empire Strikes Back,” making them serve as an extended flashback sequence while protecting the narrative’s twists. After that, the last four films are watched in the standard chronological order. Every now and then, things get to be simple.
