One argument I just thought of in favor of viewing in chronological order is that chronological order is clearly how Lucas intends for them to be seen. Yes, those of us that favor release order can argue that Lucas intends that because that's the order in which he made them, but the evidence just doesn't hold up. Release order works great if the ORIGINAL original trilogy films are viewed. But if the DVD release versions of the original trilogy are viewed, it doesn't work. Imagine watching RotJ for the first time, having not seen episodes 1-3. You get to the end and these three ghosts appear to Luke...Yoda, Obi-Wan, and....some kid? Who is this kid? Why is he important? I've never seen him before. It just doesn't make sense. The only way for it to make sense is if you've seen young Anakin in the prequel trilogy already.
