I mean, you want them to actually be willing to watch the good ones, right?

Mini-Rock will be along soon to administer your beating.

lol

now come on, i don't think anyone can say that the prequel trilogy is better than the OT. i mean, i love star wars as much as the next marginally obsessed fan but let's call a spade a spade. out of the six, which three are the best? at the most you'll only get one of the new ones in there and it's Episode III.

Ash get ready for your beating too.

As for me I think all 6 movies are a life-altering experience as Rock knows where I live.

While I have already cast my vote(s) I'm really not qualified to do so!

I have yet to see no.3

I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD before I see it, as the last three or four movies I've seen at the theater are not as satisfying as seeing(and hearing)them at home!!

So.....I'll get back with y'all.

I'm waiting to see 3 until all the fanboys are out of the theaters. <cue raucous laughter>

Hi Ben:

As been expressed, there have been many, and sometimes heated, debates regarding the order the movies should be viewed for newcomers to the saga. GL says 1-6, and many of the OT purists say start with the originals that they grew up with, and fell in love with for over 22 years, to keep the surprise at the end of ESB. As much as I love that scene, it doesn't make sense to sacrifice the rest of the story for that one moment. I guess this "fanboy" is in the minority who thinks the "new" movies are every bit as good as the originals, and both trilogies are even more meaningful as a whole. Your son is lucky because he gets to see all six for the first time and go into them with a fresh start, and without 22 years of bias or the high expectations of a new SW movie in 16 years. No matter which trilogy you choose to go with first, it will be a great experience for you and your son to share together; and, it will be something he will always remember.

LOL! You crack me up man!

Well said. And I am not just saying that because Ash and Ken are going to be visited by a very large human being named Vito. It really was well said.
