4-6 then 1-6

That way the shocking lines in the OT will still be shocking.

1-6


Everyone who posted OT-PT posted:
That's the way I saw them!


And are you going to make your kids do homework on a Commodore 64 too?
I mean, this would be a great way to get a fresh take on SW. I showed my neice them 1-6 and it was a very rewarding experience.

The way they were filmed, as anh is the perfect opening to the sw universe

Though I may go with the following option, which I am suprised no one has said yet: iv, v, i, ii, iii, vi. Make the pt into a flashback of the ot, following the revelation, pack the most suprises possible.

I don't care what order they watch them in, what ever works for them is cool.

I voted for IV-VI; I-III. Mainly because that's what my wife said, and therefore, that's what's gonna happen.

But in all honesty, this is how my kids will watch them for the first time:

IV, V, VI

spend a good 10 years reading novels

I, II, III

This has been a difficult decision for me, but I'm going to have to be the controlling parent and have them NOT exposed to any prequel until they are at least 9. IV - VI they can watch and play with the toys whenever they want.

It'll be kinda tough to hide the revalations of Star Wars for the future generations unless we keep our children isolated and don't expose them to any pop culture until after they have seen the films.
