You certainly haven't read my post.

So, because we disagree, that means I didn't read you post? Right.

Ooooooooooh! I'm beginning to detect a pattern. How exciting! ^_^

Anyway, on topic, this is interesting. Personally, I'd never introduce someone to the prequels before the originals. And that has nothing to do with bad movies spoiling good movies or because I would refuse to show anyone the prequels or anything like that. It's simply because, if I was seriously about introducing anyone to anything, I certainly wouldn't start with a sequel. And that's what the prequels are: sequels. Why start in the middle of the story? But I certainly see the curiosity in comparing. As you said, you've introduced a lot of people the other way. I've been interested in trying that too. Unfortunately, each person only has one first impression. I've always thought it would be a much better judge of things if you could somehow give someone two first impressions. Show them the films in one order, record data, erase their brain, and then show them another order and record data. That's the only way really to test things out. Unfortunately, there's no way to do that. But I would love to try. Then again, I am a huge nerd!
