I'm sorry, but it's a bad idea. This way, Yoda is no longer a surprise Jedi Master in ESB (although watching the prequels first would spoil this anyway).

Um... that's the idea. They would already know Yoda anyway, so there's no harm in having Yoda in ANH.

Well, I'm not sure about that. If I have to give an advice to Star Wars newbies is to watch the OT first, and then the PT (if they want to see the whole saga, of course!). I really think it works real best that way. The PT and the OT show us very different eras of the SW universe, there's no harm to watch it unchronologicaly, and of course, the many surprises of the OT would be not ruined...

Unless my eyes deceive me, he already is, at least peripherally. In one of the Tatooine scenes there's a shot of a ship under construction that looks an awful lot like Slave I. Timeline-wise, it makes sense. He's got a Fat Wad o' Cash after selling his DNA to some fella named Tyrannus, and decides it's the right time to spring for that fancy new custom ship that a bad-ass bounty hunter like himself deserves.

There's an interesting detail about the Slave I in the "Bounty Hunter" game, which takes place during TPM.
At the begining of the game we (=Jango) have a different ship, which belongs to the old "mentor" of Jango. And during a mission, we're blocked, and forced to find another ship, in a really small and secret facility. At the end of that level, Jango steals one of the few experimental ships of the facility (the Slave I, of course), and before he leaves, he just destroys the facility...
Well, it's just the little story... for those who are interested...
