My oldest son knows the Prequels exist. He could watch them at a friend's house if he chose to. Or frankly anytime at home, unless he directly asked me first.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are saying that, if your son came up to you and asked to watch one of the prequels, you'd refuse? I'm all for showing my own children the OT first and foremost, but if they were to ask to watch Episode I, II, or III, I wouldn't deny their request. That's a tad extreme.

But he trusts me (apparently) for the moment that it's ultimately not in his best interest to sully his imagination with the smut.

I'm curious, do you exercise this level of vigilance for all films and television shows that your son watches, or just when it comes to Star Wars?
