Full Series Clone Wars fans who have never seen any Star Wars films.

What is the most shocking thing is the simple fact that they thought that Ahsoka and Anakin should get married. I wonder how many younger kids (newly introduced via TCW) have that mindset and not realize that Anakin is married to Padme. Woof!

Anyway I was like 7 when my dad sat us down on the couch and we didn't move till we watched all three on VHS. For a while I always thought that the guy from the N64 star wars game was a Jedi.

 

Oh dude.

I'm pretty sure letting kids watch TCW without ever having seen the movies is like... child abuse or something. Yikes!

 

This is the parent I want to be, I will show the OT first. Have them avoid the PT as long as possible.

 

On the downside, one thing they can't do would be: "Read the EU with the knowledge in their head that this is 'real' Star Wars."

May Disney rot and burn in hell for that one...

 

Pretty shocking but not surprising. It was bound to happen eventually. When I have kids, it will be Episode 4 first. Then go from there.

 

Yeah, same.

Though the only thing i'd wait on is ROJS after they watch the first two prequel movies. The Clone Wars animated series would be perfect for the time slot and leave more of an impact if they just watched ROTS right after AOTC.

 

I would probably show both Clone Wars series and have the PT avoided altogether.

 

Would you show the older one first?

 

Yessssssss.

 

That'll be awesome.

 

My smaller siblings(father remarried) would not watch the OT because "that old stuff" something..they loved Clone Wars though

That was depressing

 

Oh hell (trademark: Anakinfansince1983).

If I had kids - or grandkids - I'd show the PT and go forward...(and yes, I saw the OT in the theater when first released as an adult). This "PT avoidance" is rather ridiculous, IMHO. But to each their own - but I would rather not foist my particular likes or dislikes on others.

 

My wife and are are naturally huge movie and TV fans, so we showed out kids real old stuff from the gecko. Old kids cartoons, older movies and stuff, stuff we liked when we were little and stuff we like now. And no, I don't mean I was showing my kids Metropolis or the Andy Griffith Show or something, I mean old within reason.

Anyways, those kids are in for quite a treat when they start watching all the Star Wars movies.

 

I knew 2 people who only watched the clone wars and they were like I wonder how the clone wars will end

I say its a very happy ending.

 

Ha. Are they going to be in for a shock.

I'd do the same, if just to mess with people. The reality is just depressing isn't it?

 

Obioka?

So-Wan

Ahsobi-Wan

....To far?

 

Agreed.

"Hey kids, you like The Clone Wars?!"
"Yeah!"
"Well check out these three movies!" *presents OT*
"What are those three?" *points to PT*
"Oh, I don't like those."
"What are they?"
"They take place at the time of The Clone Wars and have several characters you are familiar with."

Just show the whole saga. Withholding the prequels is idiotic. Unless it is because ROTS is out of their age range, let the kids decide what SW movies they want to enjoy.

 

I can't remember when I first saw SW. I was VERY young though, like 2 or 3.

 

"Then why is the movie called Revenge of the Sith?" they will inevitably ask.

 

They figure it out pretty quick and they have both seen the movies now.

Umm...sorry for the confusion, but these kids were the daughters of my girlfriends co worker. So as far as child abuse you would have to take that up with their mother. I dont have any children yet, I have to get married first. My whole shock was that the children only knew of the show, one would think they have at least saw ROTJ or TPM which in my opinion are 2 id pick for kids in a 1 movie sitting. I cant see them sitting for more than 1. Their mom says they love the show, prompting my girlfriend to say "he likes Star wars too" that how the little chat started. Ill definitely have to get the PT though. No doubts about it. CHEERS.

 

Very sad indeed.

 

Heck, why not Andy Griffith, all that old stuff on Me TV? Old Dick Van Dyke...good stuff, that. SOME of that I watched when it originally ran on TV and some of it I watch again.

Think of the learning, as well - why did all the moms wear dresses and pearls and Father Knew Best?
