This is insulting. We can understand it and simply not agree with you that it's best. Only Sith deal in absolutes.
Again, more insults. And regarding the highlighted, the exact same can be said of Episode 1. Kids love that movie. Kids love Ani, they love the pod races, they love the silly droid army, and bless their hearts, many of them even love Jar Jar. Your sad devotion to the machete order is doing the exact same thing, forcing your own opinions of what is relevant or worthy onto kids who will absolutely love Episode I. But that's just one problem with introducing new people to Star Wars using the machete order.
I recommend release order because that's the way the story was actually built, and it makes the most sense that way. Every movie was made with the knowledge of the movies released before it, and that seeps into each film. Skipping around messes with that natural flow of understanding.
Beyond that, the differences in style, special effects, and aesthetics, are very different from the original trilogy to the prequels. Almost two decades of huge industry changes in movie-making are contained within the prequels. I understand that you like machete order but I think it's jarring to intersperse the newer and stylistically very different prequels 2 and 3, in the midst of the original trilogy. I think that's an okay way to watch for people who've seen them many times, but when introducing to children I think it can be confusing. You're free to have a difference of opinion but attacking people who don't agree with you as being gatekeepers or olds is a weird take.
My kids watched 4,5,6, then 1,2,3, and then 7,8,9 in theaters. They're now huge Star Wars fans and love the universe. They were delighted with the order in which they learned it.
