When I was that age my stepmother and father used to put the kids into the "TV room" while they went off and did their thing... room had completely hacked open cable and we'd spend all night watching all sorts of things we never should have seen. Both me and my stepbrother had nightmares for a while from stuff we watched - Nightmare on Elm St, all kinds of gore movies, porn, whatever was on any given cable station that night. Not cool. My kids may be a bit more sheltered content-wise than most but they're a lot happier than we were.

Yeah I know what you mean. My Dad had Select TV when I was growig up in So. Calif. And he let me watch all kinds of stuff. Alien did it for me during the robot sequence. Scared me silly for weeks.
Coming back to the original question, I would let him see 4,5,6 first then later in his years 1,2,3. He will get a kick out of ewoks, and those movies were PG or U in ratings so they are safe. The others are questionable, at least he won't get annoyed when he clasps eyes on Jar Jar.

The way it's meant to be watched.
If you go the other way, you end with Jedi. That's just such a letdown. I mean, the Luke vs Vader fight is awesome, the speeder bikes scene is decent, and you get some great Boba Fett action (no matter how ---smurfy--- his "death" is....though he's not really dead...), but the Ewoks and pussifying of Han ruin the movie.
Don't end with Yub Yub.
Though Episode 3 has its flaws, it at least has a kick-ass end battle.

BS. 1,2, & 3 were 1000 times the let down.
Jedi Rocked, and was better than all of those new films put together.
Of course, Im talking about the un-modified versions without the craptastic cgi.
My vote goes for ignoring the new films.
I only saw 4 in the theater, and decided Not to pay to suffer thru the rest.
I later saw the rest on cable - and was right in my choice. Sadly, I cant erase
the bad taste in my mind from seeing 4,5,6.
Ewoks were cool. 10 Trillion times better than JarJar! (or any other crappily animated CGI character in the new films) What a train wreck. Same with Yodas hyper movements - where no apparent sign of gravity or physics applied. Stomach turning.
Hans character was true to life. He found something to care about other than himself,
& He grew up.

Yeah...that's gotta be a typo.
And I agree on the Ewoks vs Jar Jar.
To quote Spaced, "Jar Jar makes the Ewoks look like ---smurfin---' Shaft!"
