Here we go again. Sorry Jay- I tried to come back for awhile and it seemed like there were some decent, thoughtful and/or entertaining discussions going on.
But again we begin to devolve into sophomoric prattle which, I'm quite sure, will soon become juvenile name calling. As an adult I understand the frustrations that many of us older folk have with trying to participate in discussions with younger folk- sometimes its just hard for either side to approach situations on the same level of maturity.
Listen- by its very nature EVERYTHING we write about here is utter shit and has no bearing on 'real life'. Maybe that's the true magic of George Lucas- he understands that fact and couldn't give a rat's ass about Star Wars any further than keeping the money flowing in so his companies stay in the black.
Yet another thread has become about nothing that the original poster intended and has become grade-school dramatics. And just as I graduated from grade school long ago I think its about time to graduate from this crap.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

(and also I love looking at my son with his lightsaber
)My son is one years old and has already seen most of the SW films. Not by choice mind, he's made too by his big ol daddy
Also he now does a pretty good impression of a lighsaber when holding his little toy version. He's seen me with my ForceFX, so now impersonates me with a "wiiiishhhhhh, whooooooshh" which I think is just classic. Good ol' boy
So in answer to your question, they're never too young to watch Star Wars.

To everyone who made him feel he had to leave, including myself, give yourselves a big pat on the back, you twats. What he said about this all being utter shit in the real world was spot on. I will not post in the General star wars section again. What a shame that Star Wars has turned into this - I feel like such a dick for letting myself add to the gayness of some of these debates.
May the force be with you.
Bye
War does not make one great.

I think 5 years old is a good age to start, I was that age when I saw the original in '77. I have twin 5 year old nephews and they love SW, absolutely love it. But right now they like the action, and the droids. They love R2-D2, especially in the original when the Jawas shoot him and he falls straight down, they like to mimic that on the floor, by falling over.
When they watch the PT, and the romance, they kinda giggle, and think its icky, being that their young boys. But then again, I had the same reaction of Padme/Anakin when I saw it in 2002 at the age of 29, so go figure!
I really think they should watch the original first, cause that is the funnest movie of the 6. They'll love the characters, be scared of Vader, and enjoy the beginning with the droids walking on Tatooine. I guess everyone here should mimic their first experience in SW, because the fact that were all still talking about it, atleast the OT, means if it ain't broke don't fix it.

My brother, saw Episode III in theaters, and his favorite movies are ROTJ and ROTS, with ROTJ being his #1.
Then June (2005) came around, and I bought the 2004 Editions. I was happy, I watched them, and I really liked the way everything looked fresh and new...infact, I was sick (with a fever) when I went to target-lol-so I bought my set, came home, barfed in the toilet, put in ANH, layed in bed, and put on some head phones and the directors commentary. I watched all 3 fims that afternoon.....well, October comes around, and Im into OT.com....
My brother got really into it, hell he still is into it, and me and him sat and watched the entire movie Building Empire. And he really liked the alternate angles and takes, and diffrent dialouge sounds, etc. He hated that commentary-lol
My dad says anyday is a good day for a good steak.
I say, any age is a good age for Star Wars-lol

I knew there was the new star wars movies (I saw TPM in the theater,when I was roughly my brothers age) but I never really was intrested. Then I got the Musical Journey DVD! I was so hyped up, seeing the star wars movies I knew, but seeing them "digitaly Remasteres" and seeing that new end sequence with the new inserts! I was crazy! I then started on a DVD rampage. I bought Ep.I, Ep.II, Clone Wars.......I was still a novice to SW.

The PT is okay, but it is nowhere near the masterpiece that is the OT. So I'd go for the 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 running order. The OT is the classic you just have to watch. It's an epic tale of heroes, villains and mysterious planets. The PT not only assumes that you know the universe, but it also deals with much darker themes. I sure as hell wouldn't want to show the Order 66-massacre to a kid at that age. The PT should be the ones you pull out when your kid eventually starts asking you questions about the origins of Darth Vader. And trust me, that question is bound to pop up! I just think you need to watch Anakin's redemption first so he doesn't come across as a Padawan-slaying son-of-a-bitch.

I discovered Star Wars when I was about three, and quite by accident. I had found an old tape in my parents' VHS drawer and, thinking it was something else (more than likely), popped it in the VCR (yes, I already knew how to operate a VCR at age three). The tape turned out to be TV recordings of ROTJ, followed by ESB. I then proceeded to watch the Jabba's Palace scene, not knowing what the hell I was watching, but liking it anyway. I don't think I watched it all the way through until a while later though. I then found out that it was a series of three, and so I rented the first one cuz my dad said that one was his favorite. I didn't care for it all that much, I thought it was ok. Then my mom and I found a box set of all three movies (pre-Faces, the ones with the original poster art) and bought it for my dad, but I ended up watching them countless times. For the longest time, ROTJ was my favorite, then it changed to SW, then finally to ESB, where it has stayed for some twelve years. So I actually saw them: ROTJ, SW, ESB. My point of view of the movies isn't all that different from the rest of you. But the difference is that when I was in kindergarten, I was the only kid who had even heard of Star Wars. Those days are long past, thanks to the PT. It was more fun when it was just my little secret.

Only select episodes.
Last year, Lucasfilm released 8 episodes from each, edited into two full length movies for each series onto DVD. The Ewok live-action films were released on DVD at this time as well.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Yeah, he's a cool guy. From my experience with him, he brought to these boards what Alec Guiness brought to SW.
