It took the Machete Order to make the prequel of Star Wars finally fit into the rest of the episodes–well, except for the-episode-we-should-not-speak-of. The Machete Order, for those unfamiliar, involves watching the movies in the following order:  IV, V, II, III, VI.  His argument is that you don’t lose anything from not …
