Go for it. In the world of IT, people networking, experience, and certs are more useful than a degree. Degrees might get you past the HR screening, but the others get you the job.

All jokes aside: my preference is the release order, though the Machete order seems like it would be a good plan (feel free to include Rogue One, it is superb in my book).
Absolutely this. Patience and respecting boundaries.
