I second the notion!

EEEEK! Mi suegra got my son a "Naboo Starfighter" toy for his birthday. He's been happily playing with it, until the moment I've feared for so long finally came.

"Daddy," says he, "I don't remember this in the Star Wars movie? What movie is it in?"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My take on answering this question:

"There are a bunch of extra Star Wars stories out there that aren't part of the three real Star Wars movies.  We can go to the comics shop to see if we can find one, if you like.  I'm sure it's in one of those stories."

Later, at the comic shop.  "Ooh, lookee, Bone/Runaways/[insert age-appropriate title here]! Let's just get that!" Issue sidestepped for another day...

Well I'm never for flat out lying to kids (with Santa Clause or sex ed being the outliers) so I'd either offer him a fanedit you don't mind or get the comic adaptation if he can read.  

Alternatively, you could just ignore him. Dunno.

Or you could show him The Phantom Menace. Kids love The Phantom Menace :-) And when he's older, he'll realize on his own that it sucks. Or he won't - but then you'll have failed as a parent :-D

The Boost is more powerful than George Lucas - He can overthrow him! And together he and his son can save Star Wars! Make things the way they really should be!

... The problem with introducing the PT to your kids is the fact that they become a part of your SW film rotation. Suddenly, you're watching it over and over again. And your children are chanting "We want Jar Jar! We want Jar Jar!" and when you finally give in and push play, there is a chorus of "Yippeeeee!"
