So you have a child..

...and it's that time of his or her life where they must learn about the story that is Star Wars. Of course you would have all the movies with you. Now the question is how would you show the story to your child? Would you show them in chronological order? In the order which the came out? Or would you not even show the prequels to your child?

What say you, OT?

I don't like Star Wars so I sure as hell won't show my own child it.

Original Trilogy, followed by some books and/or comics, and possibly my games - which will basically be old relics in a few years - and then I'll show them the prequels. I'll let them decide.

How about just letting them decide for themselves? If they want to see the older ones first, let them. If they want to see the newer ones first, let them. If they don't want to watch them at all, disown them.

i would probably show them 4-6, im not a fan of 1-3 :P

Original trilogy first. If they don't ask for any Star Wars-related toys within a week, they'll watch them again and again until they know right from wrong.

Indiana Jones is an acceptable substitute. Until they turn 16. Then they must watch the Star Wars movies. mrmusicman247

CPS should be able to take children away from parents who show them the prequels.

I'd make a point of showing them Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings first.

Sorry but I'm showing my child Lord of the Rings over Star Wars. In fact, I won't ever tell him/her about it.ExoticAnimal

I wouldn't show them Star Wars at all because I never liked it myself. If they want to watch it I won't stop them but I have other stuff I would want my kid to see first like the Bond films or Lord of the Rings.

I'll show them from episode 1 alll the way to episode 6. hell even watch the first 3 with my kid(didnt find them to be so bad really)

Remember when James Rolfe mentioned this in his Star Wars episode i thought about it.

I would do it 4,5 and 6 then the first three.

Make them watch LoTR. Star Wars stinks :D

Make a compilation of Jar Jar Binks scenes and force them to watch it A Clockwork Orange-styIe.

If he/she wanted to watch those movies I wouldn't care, but I wouldn't want to be the one showing them. I hate star wars

Original trilogy then prequels.

Simply because the prequels have more of a emotional effect that way imo. But it's more lamentable imo that they probably won't play the Star Wars games I played growing up. :(

Chronological order.

I got into Star Wars through Episode I.

I honestly don't know the story entirely myself, didn't watch all the movies. I'd probably show him/her something else unless he/she asked for it, Miyazaki movies or Toy Story or Lord of the Rings

I barely remember the story since I was a child when I first saw them. I doubt I would ever show them either.

I'd show them in the order they came out. Except I'd have to give some serious thought to editing out Jar Jar...

I'd show him/her the prequels at something like age 5 or 6 because they have lots of pretty colors and movies don't actually have to make sense when you're that young. Then at age 10 or so I'd show him/her the original trilogy; hopefully by then the kid will be able to look past the extremely outdated visuals and appreciate just how masterfully crafted the films are.

4-6 and then 1-3. It's just the best way to do it.

I don't like Star Wars, so it would never be a topic of discussion, at least not with me starting it.

I'd probably be watching anime with them rather than Star Wars, but I'd get them to watch it in the order of 4, 5, 6, 1, 2 and 3. They would be confused as to why everything suddenly looks older technologically speaking in the last 3 so have them watch those and explain the background to the entire series ending with "because George Lucas is stupid".

Haven't seen any myself. :lol:

i dont like star wars or lord of the rings.my kid will be brought up on resident evil,dawn of the dead,silent hill etc. i grew up on zombies since i was 3 so will my kid
