I give the side-eye to people who call it "A New Hope" or "Episode IV."

Agreed, but then if you watch the movies in chronological order, which I think is what the expectation is at this point, absolutely none of the buildup in any of the original trilogy matters.

    Best I’ve heard, if you’re watching the originals, is to watch them as 4,5,1,2,3,6 - the logic being that you don’t spoil the big revel and 1-3 are like a flashback to see how we got to “now”.

    Then skip 7-9.

    7 is fine, it's just a rehashing of 1 for a new generation. It just needs to be followed up with a "and then Poochie died on his way home to his planet" single animation cell that explains what happened to Luke.

    The end.

    I choose to believe that Luke was a ghost the whole time. He was killed with the other Jedi when Kylo Ren attacked the Jedi Temple. Rey is just seeing a Force ghost, and ghost Luke and confused and angry which is why he's acting so weird.

    Probably doesn't line up perfectly with what happens in TLJ, but I only saw it once when it was released so I can just remember Rey visiting Luke at a bad time when he was an angry ghost. Nothing really happens in TLJ anyway so there's not much reason to watch it again.
