I just found out I was 10 when the first SW movie was released..... :D
Also remember that the re-makes include much better (scary) special effects !
I'd really like to see the original versions again some day. I think someone once mailed me a link to a bit torrent that was running the original and remake together at one screen so you could easily see the differences....

you do know they finally released the proper, unadulterated originals not too long ago? its a limited edition. each episode comes with two dvds- one original, one f****d up redone version. i almost cried when i finally had proof that my memory isnt as bad as i thought it was. watching 'star wars' with mo mention of 'episode IV' in the title ;D
oh, and another vote here for showing the lad 456 first. as someone said, you really dont want to know darth vader is lukes dad straight away...

Stop falling for that. Every version they have ever released has been a "limited edition". They tweak the font on the cover, call it limited, print up 10 million copies, and everyone buys it. Disney used to do the same thing with their animated movies.

Show them in the original order and make them wait at least 3 years between each movie! >:D
I agree with some of the other posts that E2 and E3 are a little intense for young ones. My son accidentally saw the lava scene in E3 when he was 4 and is still bothered by it. No need to hurry. We have sheltered our kids (maybe too much) but it has been great to now start watching some of my favorites (Fletch, Happy Gilmore, Fifth Element) with my now 13 year-old and he actually gets the jokes since he is older.
I don't care for E1 but it was my children's favorites when they were younger. And it sure beats the heck out of Telletubbies or The Wiggles if you want to watch something with your kids.
E2 is actually a decent movie IF you hit the SKIP button on your DVD everytime Anakin and Padme are alone on screen.
ChadTower:
Fletch is one of the greatest movies ever. That's one we watched 500 times at least back then - it wasn't scary and was on HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime in successive months that summer.
