When your kids are talking about "Dark Blazer" you know is time for them to watch Stars War. Don't you agree?

When I was very, very, young (about 6) - I thought that 'light sabre' was 'life saver', until my father promptly corrected me. :-D But I still think I got it half-right, because it does help save a jedis/sith lords life.

It seems a Star Wars weekend is in order. FOr the kids sake, is it better to follow the order of apareance or the prequel first?

Hmm... Since the newest (Episode 3) isn't out yet for home video (although I'm sure there are illicit copies roaming around) you might want to start with the original trilogy. If they were all out, or if you'd want to take them to the theater to see the third one, then I'd say do the prequels first. I can't remember how your kids handle violence, but you may want to screen RotS (Episode 3) before they see it so if there are parts you think would bother them you could either tell them about it or take them out during those parts (that's what I did with Prince Brat), or something. It's the only one that was rated PG-13 instead of PG.

Someone I know suggested a running order of IV, V, I, II, III, VI; that way, you still get all of Episode V's revelations, but you understand what's really going on in VI.

To quote her:
"You could show them I,II,III,IV,V,VI, which would seem logical, but I tried this with my housemates and they found the original trilogy a huge letdown and gave up after IV. The problem was partly the much less effective action sequences and FX, and partly that watching the prequels meant that the effectiveness of the o.t. was greatly reduced. In particular, V is much less effective if you already know who Yoda is, all abut Jedi training and abilities and the Dark Side, and above all, if you know perfectly well who Luke's father is from the start.

I've also tried IV, V, VI, I, II, III, which I think is a much better order (though not without considerable resistance from the people with me). The weakness here is the same one we all felt for 20 years: unless you've seen the OT, you don't understand why Vader does what he does at the end of VI. At worst it feels like a cop out or bad scriptwriting (as many of my SW-fan frields maintained) at best like overblown propaganda for the Lightside."
