I'm watching all six right now sequentialy 1-6. (not my first time)
It flows pretty well I think. I remember when we all had our doubts before rots came out, but it works ( I think).
I can't watch them in full movies though, I have to watch them in chunks. Like I'll watch TPM for 20 minutes to an hour one night, and then rest over the next day or so. It takes about a week per trilogy.
The only humps I have to get over are the first two episodes. after that its just good shit
Phantom Menace is more fasicinating to watch anakin skywalker become Obi's apprentice, a young obiwan, the jedi council and what not, and darth maul.
Attack of the clones-I remember it being interesting to see anakin use a light saber for the first time when I first saw the movie. The whole jango/boba fett thing is cool, I just the love how the movie opened with the clouds on corusant and everything. But the movie is kinda draggy in the middle and it isn't until Anakin slaughters the tusken raiders "we all now what that ment" where its Like: STAR WARS HAS OFFICIALY ARRIVED!! then we get storm/clone troopers and early star destroyers, massive jedi battle and the clone wars which was a great way to kick off the begining of ROTS which when that movie ends poignantly leads into ANH.
I've been using Netflix to watch them but not 6 at a time, no. I used to watch the VHS 4-6 in order once or twice. I didn't watch them from night to night either, really, I mixed them some.
I need some time to reflect and process between them, always something new. Does Lucas intend them to be watched in a marathon, or one a night, one a week, or no preference? I know, probably no preference but if he isn't sick of them and has just one way to watch them I wonder what he does/would do.
A marathon seems like too much for me, I've started the LOTR one but by the end of the second I had to do something else. Those are crazy long but shorter than 6 Star Wars.
It was not needed... We don't NEED to know who the 'father' of the clones is, and the relationship with Padme was a given. They should have made ROTS into two films and incorporate the love story in that.
Now I almost want to know what reasons Bossk, Zuckuss and Dengar have... Oh please, George, make an SE to AOTC explaining their backstories as well... PLEEAAASSSEE!!!
Pffffffft Boba already sucked in my book. I dont get why people always thought Boba Fett was so cool? Big whoop, he was the bounty hunter that took Han to Jabba. Vader did all the work, all Fett did was haul away the frozen form.

ROTJ for me is the most painful to watch because the first two of the OT are masterpieces but this one has some horrible parts. Like the Ewoks beating Stormtroopers and some of Jabba's palace, but after that it goes back to OT formula. Btw the scens with the Emperor, Vader, and Luke together and Yoda and Luke is what makes this film great.
