    For first time viewers watching all 6 films in numerical order, I would propose leaving out the scenes in RotS where we see what happens to Padme and the unborn baby(s), and use them as flashbacks in episodes V and VI when appropriate, or as an epilogue to RotJ.

    Not knowing for sure who Luke is and not being sure if that's really Obi-Wan at first has a much richer pay off this way. There's also not knowing Leia is their daughter, not knowing what happened to Yoda, and learning it was Bail who adopted Leia. etc.

    Heck, perhaps reserve everything after the duel on Mustafar for later? Leave the viewer horrified when they first hear the black monster referred to as Lord Vader in ANH, and they piece together what happened.
