Ain’t nothing wrong with release order, IMO. The differences in cinematography, direction, special effects, ect. become distracting when the trilogies are broken up like that.
To really enhance the cultural zeitgeist of the early 2000s, the prequel trilogy should be experienced with a set of Taco Bell promotional cups and contest pieces from eBay. Alternatively, one could purchase a Pepsi from one of the surviving Phantom Menace vending machines.

For a second I thought you looked up their birthdays and this was literally about the fact that Tobey Maguire was 23-years-old playing a college kid and only one year younger than this actor playing a middle-aged dad and it was a funny haha moment about Hollywood casting and age discrepancy between actors and the characters they play.
Then I did some more thinking and remembered that Spider-Man 2 came out in 2004 and I am an idiot.
BTW Tobey Maguire was born in 1975 and the other actor’s name is Peter Allas and I couldn’t find his birthday.
It’s such a racket. My 3 year old phone is perfect except for the battery. I remember back in the day I could pop open my case with my thumbnail and the battery was just sitting there ready to swap. Nowadays that process involves specialized tools and heating pads to melt glue. I’m hopeful that the industry is trending toward removable batteries again, but that’s still years away.
