Better off to just leave out all the newer stuff. They're not real parts of Star Wars, they're just the spinoff crap tacked on later on. The only stuff worth showing one's kids is the OOT. If they want to discover the other stuff when they're older that's their business. Certainly they should see the OOT before anything else, because that's what was made first. Coming at Star Wars in any other order is unnatural.

And who are you to say they're not "real" (whatever that means)? GL says they're part of the story, so they're part of the story. Really, you can hate them all you want, but to say they're not "real" Star Wars because you don't like them is incredibly ignorant. You don't get to dictate what is and is not Star Wars.

Anyway, as for the topic of this thread. My preferred order is

A New Hope

The Holiday Special

The Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

The Phantom Menace

Attack of the Clones

Clone Wars (2003-2005)

Revenge of the Sith

The new Clone Wars movie raises more questions than it answers ("What happened to Ahsoka?", etc.), so I'd hold off until that storyline has a satisfactory conclusion before showing it to my kids.
