As someone who hasn't seen any of the Star Wars films, what order should I watch them in?

The way that they're numbered dum dum
2,4,1,2,3,5,7,6

In numerical order. The original trilogy also serves to wash the bad taste out of your mouth.
The only reason to watch OT>Prequels is if that's the original order you saw them in but it's pointless otherwise.
Don't watch them at all
>123
You already know it because of social media memes
>star wars 4
George Lucas is the master of oversimplification. All the characters in Star Wars are terribly black and white and not a single one even remotely leans towards the second dimension. The cheap trick to use plain text as exposition for the upcoming events is a slap in the face of cinema. The entire purpose of film is to convey stories through dialogue and images.Lucas doesn't get that.His writing skills are pre-school.
>star wars 5
The most over rated movie of all time. Pseudo nerds will have you believing that george lucas ruined this movie that was once so great even though they probably didnt even see the original version until after the new ones came out. You can find these geek posers at your local comic cons repeating everything plinkett says wearing there han shot first shirt thinking they sound like they know what there talking about, but take it from me these movies are on par with bollywood scifi shit dont waste your time.
>star wars 6
Let's see, for an adventure, the pacing is mostly off, with lots of periods where nothing happens, and even the action scenes are nothing special. The plot also seems fairly contrived. Say, since this is the final battle between good and evil and all that, the emperor's preparations seem fairly rushed. You'd expect more care to have been taken in keeping that shield intact, for example. Also, since his grand scheme is to turn Luke Skywalker to the dark side of the force, isn't he trying to kill him too soon after Luke offers some resistance?

If you actually want to sit through them all then go 1 through 6. If you don't know if you'll actually like it then do 4-6 then 1-3.
6>3>2>5>7>1>4
The order they came out in, just like how you watch everything else.
Production order.
4, 5, 2, 3, 6, 7
Skip 1, it's truly irredeemable.
>>63854308
4,5,2,3,6,7
Don't watch 1.

It's not even the worst of the prequel trilogy, fuck off.

Just because Darth Maul is your sithfu doesn't make it somehow a good movie. Even if it is better than 2 (debatable) it's still mostly trash and can be easily culled since practically nothing important happens to give background to its successors and there's a 10-year time skip after anyway.

>Don't watch 1
that's just total BS.. it's still part of the story and watching it tells some of the story line. Plus if one wants the whole star wars fan blah blah you need to see 1 even if it's to bitch about it later with others.
order wise either go with production/release order or do the scramble mix that the net seem to suggest where it's 4,5.. then get some back story with 2,3, jump to 6 for the wrap up.
Then go ahead and watch 1 just to see what the nerd hate is about.. personally I would go with production order. Ep 1 is not really that bad on DVD/bluray when just watching all the other films over a weekend or whatever. Then it's just another film that's not that great but it's still star wars..
Sort of like how the slow eps of say BSG, where like union goes on strike, are horrible when you waited an entire week for a new ep. Watching it on bluray those same eps just flash past in a blur with the other eps.

Skip the prequels.
