Re: In what order should my child watch the Star Wars movies?
[ QUOTE ]
the real question is, what order should she read the narnia books [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] who knew? ...and add a vote for 4-6 first, b/c (as already said) 1-3 have references back to the original trilogy, but not vice-versa. regardless, i think she'll like 1-3 fine...kids seemed happier w/them than adults did... [/ QUOTE ] People who think you should read the Narnia books in chronological order are really dumb. Almost always, knowledge of the originals enhances your experience of prequels and you're supposed to be familiar with the originals. Who cares if in book 6 they create the stupid wardrobe? You're meant to already know about the wardrobe when you later read about it's creation - otherwise why would you care? This timeline crap would be like if some idiot group of Lost fans decided to start editing the flashbacks out separately from the island stuff to make one long chronological story, and then insisting that that's how it's SUPPOSED to be watched.

Re: In what order should my child watch the Star Wars movies?
I am a die hard Star Wars fan, and my 4 year old son is beginning to watch/enjoy Star Wars. FWIW, he hasn't even SEEN episodes 1-3. Also, it is my opinion that the new prequals actually offer very little in terms of elaborating on the episodes 4-6. To me, the two trilogies are so disjointed from each other that I consider them two separate trilogies altogether.

The thing that bothers me most about 1-3 is the terrible performances Lucas gets from some excellent actors.

The acting, save for harrison ford, in the original star wars trilogy, is just as wooden, IMO. Lucas is famous for such directing tidbits as "say it faster". Such is the extent to which he works with actors. The thing I find more odd is that he was able to get good performances out of his cast in American Graffiti.

There seems to have been very little in the way of sets for the actors to orient themselves in. The 4,5,1,2,3,6 suggestion is interesting, and if it were an option on the poll I might have voted for it.

Re: In what order should my child watch the Star Wars movies?
Luke lands on this marshy, mucky planet, looking for some bad-ass jedi master named "Yoda" or something. He crashes his x-wing, gets his astro-droid all gunked up, and then this funny lil' green alien starts giving him a hard time. Luke tells the muppet that he's looking for someone, and it says "Looking for someone? Found someone, you have."
If you saw the funny green guy and said "Hey, there's yoda! Hi yoda!", it'd ruin the scene. {4,5,6,4,5,6,1,2,3} -Sam
