I was wondering about that... ironclad Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 03:22:01 PM
So an interesting topic of discussion came up between my wife, my brother and I. When our children are old enough, how will we introduce them to Star Wars? How will you?

Will you show them in the "proper" order (ep. 1, 2, 3...) or will you start with the original trilogy first?

Personally, I think I will show them the original trilogy and, if they like that, later show them the prequels.


Not that I am about to encounter that problem very soon, but I still thought about it. I think I'd do it like you proposed, except that there is no IF allowed if they are my kids :P

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

That's the main reason, yeah. - 18/01/2010 07:59:32 PM 677 Views
It depends on how young the kids are. - 18/01/2010 08:40:58 PM 698 Views
My expecting friends are pondering something similar... - 18/01/2010 06:45:14 PM 690 Views

I have experience in this matter...and I screwed up. - 18/01/2010 08:37:15 PM 728 Views
Which begs the question... - 19/01/2010 03:02:54 AM 707 Views

easy: don't show them the prequels at all - 18/01/2010 09:31:42 PM 712 Views

Why on earth would you watch Alien 3?!? Stop at Aliens. - 19/01/2010 12:03:10 AM 736 Views
Unlike many, I don't mind Alien 3. - 19/01/2010 02:09:01 AM 699 Views

Sounds like the Matrix. - 19/01/2010 04:22:19 PM 871 Views
I still don't see what's wrong with the second - 19/01/2010 04:30:07 PM 633 Views
That's another area where I disagree with popular internet opinion. - 19/01/2010 05:15:25 PM 709 Views
I think the third - 20/01/2010 02:13:26 PM 773 Views
I think it would have been great if the "real world" was just another matrix. - 20/01/2010 04:32:07 PM 709 Views
