Not for any particular fanboy weeb reason, that has probably been stated here a billion times.
The only and truly definitive reason it should be watched in this order is because it’s great to see that stupid decrepit Yoda puppet from the original movies go absolute, crack-monkey frog on Count Dooku in episode 2.
Literally no other reasons… or you know, watch it how ever you want I don’t give a shit.

Or hear me out…. Not at all
the first time i watched start wars was in theatrical release order and i didn’t understand what was going on, hated it. then i watched it the way you mentioned, in chronological order; made so much more sense; loved it!
Or just watch 4,5,6
nah. i only watch 1,2,3.
for 4,5,6, i watch the family guy version, for max disrespect.
This is called Lucas Star Wars Saga
Best way to watch Star Wars is Harmy’s Despecialized edition of Episode IV, V and VI, and… that’s it lol
Do you believe that 7, 8, and 9 shouldn’t be watched at all, or did you just assume there was no controversy about what order they should be watched?
You forgot the sequel movies
The big reason for the different orders is to hide the big reveal on Vader, it’s not a surprise to anyone that he’s Luke’s father.
Though I actually think the Palpatine twist in 3 might be better not having watched 4 5 6. People going into episode 1 know he’s the Emperor (and likely Sidious)
I don’t care, just don’t watch the sequels. They’re not relevant.
4-5-1-2-3-6
