What is the origin of Machete Order?

chef_carol

So after seeing this question , I got curious about "Machete Order." That question didn't explain where it came from. I tried googling "machete order" but I only got articles talking about watching Star Wars in Machete Order. I also tried searching movies.SE but I only found the previously referenced question. So I want to know: What is the origin of "Machete Order"? What is the reason for the name "Machete Order"?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/ was where the order was introduced. The name of the order is from the author Rod Hilton's blog name, "Absolutely No Machete Juggling" ( blog name origin is a cartoon about human nature, NOT about actual blades ) I've dubbed this "Machete Order" on the off chance it catches on because I'm a vain asshole. (UPDATE: It did!)
