If you’re a stickler for a cohesive, chronological narrative, then watching the movies according to the in-universe timeline is definitely the way to go. If you’re after a smooth story, it’s not exactly the best way to binge. The anthology movies in particular totally break up the flow of the Skywalker saga.
On the flipside, while the release order works great for the first six episodes, it gets tricky when it comes to the newer movies. It’s satisfying to dive right into evil Darth Vader and go on the journey towards the revelation of who he really is before doubling back to unpack how he became Darth Vader. It more or less positions Luke Skywalker as the primary protagonist of the overarching saga, and cements Darth Vader as the most interesting villain. Watching the movies in this way allows you to go on the ~traditional~ fan journey.
