You refer to the order of viewing the movies, but let me ask, have you ever watched them in the order 451236? In that order, for a first time viewer, you can experience just about ALL the surprises. You get the "I am your father" surprise without spoiling the "Henceforth you shall be known as Darth Vader" surprise.

Well, I think that Episode V kind of spoils the "Henceforth" sequence,

You think that Empire Strikes Back spoils Revenge of the Sith? YOU'RE NUTS!

With all due respect.
