Default Re: In what order should my child watch the Star Wars movies?

It has to be old school. The only thing the first three do better is the light saber battles. I think seeing all the amazing duels in the first three might make, say, Darth vs Obi Wan, or Darth vs Luke, seem fairly mediocre in comparison.

Also, it would ruin one of the greatest shock scenes ever, when Darth tells Luke "I am your father".

Also, the entire first meeting between Luke and Yoda gets worse, too.

And I just like it better old school. The part where Obi Wan is talking to Luke about his father when they first met on Tatooine is still one of my favorite scenes in the entire series. Knowing the background is a lot worse than, as a kid, being able to imagine it. Not to mention that Lucas totally ruins what should have been an incredible story.
