But yeah, i did the same as you.
release order originally and then watched in episode order.

And yes, the cutoff of I is amazingly thought, and the guys makes his points perfectly. The only good thing we miss from cutting ep.1 is Liam Neeson. That's it, even the double-light saber is kinda of stupid, imho. It was great the first time i saw it, but it.. never grew on me. Light sabers are Swords not Bo Staffs.
