Forums - General - What order will you show your kids the Star Wars movies?

I would show them IV, V, VI, then I would get all the star trek films and make them watch them.

Well that's easy. You show them the amazing movies that sparked a phenomena. And then when they're older, you allow them to see the awful movies that resulted from said phenomena. At which point you plan a marathon that goes

1. A New Hope
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. The Phantom Menace
4. Attack of the Clones
5. Revenge of the Sith
6. Return of the Jedi.

If you're going to watch all 6, this really is the only way to do it. Watching them in order of time made is silly and watching them in order of episode number kills the whole awesomeness of the original trilogy part. So you watch the originals, and then when you get hit with the big whammy, you get 3 movies that tell you how that big whammy happened and finally finish it off with the thrilling conclusion.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

first watch 4-6 then 1-3 and then 4-6 again. Then watch 3 just because it's the best in the series and really epic.



1-6, the acting in all of them suck, we are just older now and expect more. To a kid, they will be equally good. In fact, the first three to them will probably be better.



That Guy said:
show episodes 4 - 6 but lie to them and tell them that that's 1-3 and that the prequels never existed

exaclty my thoughts. I loved 4-6. I watched 1-3 (don't have a clue why, as I knew they were going to suck before I did) and I haven't liked anything star wars since. I'll still watch 4-6, but I don't care about the series at all any more.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

IV - VI then I - III.

Showing them I - VI would totally kill the best plot twists from the original trilogy.

- "Luke, I am your father"

Kid's reaction : We already knew that, we saw Amidala give birth to Luke and Leia.

- "There is another Sky-sky-skywalker"

Kid's reaction : We already knew that, we saw Amidala give birth to Luke and Leia.



Signature goes here!

Do it in order. They are kids, they can handle it. Lets face it, the series wil only get better as the movies pass

Except for Attack of the Clones that is.



IV to VI first as they are way better than I to III, id show them the others, just to show them how much better the original trilogy was

I definitely agree that the acting sucks in all of them.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
