My DD7 has just decided that she has to watch Star Wars. Am I being unreasonable to completely ignore the 3 newer films and jump straight in to the 'good' ones?

Harrison Ford is in them. Enough said.

Ds much prefers the old ones.

but then he loves ghostbusters and home alone and the old it's a wonderful life...

I started DS off on Episode 4 and we went in order they were made - he's 8 now and it doesn;t seem to have scarred him for life.

I love Star Wars! But of the new three Revenge of the Sith is definitly the best. A phantom Menace is all about the special effects and Attack of the clones is ok but nothing compared to the original three. Revengenof the Sith is the only one I consider to be a good film. But it ruins the effect of "I am your father" if you watch it before the Empire Striles Back.

Don't forget to film her face when she finds out who Darth Vader is.

We are starting with IV this morning. I just hope it doesn't mean I'll need to start buying the toys as well!

Ha ha! Our kids have grown up with Star Wars toys in this house, most of them are mine and DH's. Grin

We've watched IV, V and VI but are holding off on the later ones specifically because III is so dark - and our DDs are the kind who get nightmares.
