STAR WARS - WHERE TO START original trilogy or new trilogy?

Posting this as my DH thinks this could be life-ruining if we get it wrong...

our 2 ds's are still a bit young but are completely crazy for Star Wars Lego so DH and I have been debating in readiness for them being the right age to watch Star Wars -should they start with the original 3 (as we did) or should they start at Episode 1? Our main dilemma is the original trilogy was amazing and DH thinks they should start with that but we wonder if they start with that it spoils a lot of the newest trilogy? Or should the story be followed through from start to finish, episodes 1 through to 6? But then for example: wouldn't, when Luke finds out who his father is in the 2nd trilogy, it be spoilt by the new trilogy being watched first. If they watch the newest trilogy first would their imagination be captured as well as it would if they watch the original (and best) trilogy first?

We didn't get the option, so if you have the option what would/did you do? I've given up waiting for the force to show us the way

Original first for me.

original trilogy definitely
If they watch Phantom of the Menace first they won't want to go any further

Original 3, otherwise there's no mystery to be revealed.

We showed it to DS sort of in order although I think he had seen one of them (not sure which) at a friend's house before hand.

Actually - no I tell a lie! I bought the original 3 in a set first and then my Dad bought the last 3 for DS for Xmas. So basically I have no idea which he watched first but it hasn't affected his obsession!

thank you for helping put our minds a bit more at rest

know that the light sabre battles in new ones are immense but just don't have same effect as any light sabre battle that vader and Luke have. just didn't know if we were just too sentimental about the original

glad to hear more...
