AWK, the same rational can be used to justify the other way to watch the films (OT and then PT). How would you feel about it, when some person would demand that your kids are to watch it in the order you do not prefer? That decision is entirely up to sikkbones, I'd say.
sikkbones, I honestly do not know at what age you should introduce starwars (in whatever order you choose) to him. It depends a lot on the kid and if it's interested in non-cartoony films already. I remember hating almost all things that weren't a cartoon or muppet thing - StarWars changed that of course.
