but, if you were to show that flick to someone who has no idea what SW is... who has never seen the ANH... they'd be completly lost and going "Whaa?" every 2 minutes. Imagine the Wampa cave with no prior knowledge.... how the hell is he making that thing fly into his hand... then who is this ghost? You can go on and on...

Yes, but you can say those questions might be a lot of fun for a new viewer. Plus, nobody knew that Jedi could manipulate the position of objects using the force, so even Star Wars fans had some newness by that point. And lastly, as Gaffer pointed out, Episode I presented the same amount of questioning for someone who hadn't seen the original Star Wars first.
