It's just like the Foundation/Robots books. The correct order is the order of release.
The reason is this: Each movie was concieved and written based on the assumption that all of the others had been seen first, or at least with the assumption that much of the audience has seen all of the others. New revelations are prepared based on that knowledge.
It's especially important that Star Wars be the first movie seen. The sequels retconned some things to fit into the longer story arc (ie, Vader is Luke's father, Leia is his sister) and the prequels retconned still other things (the droids). Showing them out of order interferes with the discovery process.
