^Yep
So, my lady friend (yes nerds..I have them) has yet to see any of the Star Wars movies.
Tonight will be her first of six, but....What does she watch first?
I know most of you here are gonna come out with the PT is shit blah..blah..blah...But I am going to make her watch all six, just don't know what to start with.. ANH or TPM?
See, I don't want her put off with TPM and then think to herself that she has to sit through 5 more boring, shit films (I don't mind the PT, so that doesn't really concern me..I now the truth). I want her to be captivated by the adventures...etc
I'm in a pickle...She will have the chance to either watch them in order of realease, as I did...or see them the way old Georgy boy wants the world to see them 1 - 6....
She's a Star Wars virgin, so I have to be gentle with her.....

I'm not sure this has been tried with a "virgin" yet, I'd like to see how it goes.

^Yep
Star Wars 1977
The Empire Strikes Back 1980
Return of the jedi 1983.
Watch in that order, fairly simple.

What is this a new hope you speak of don't you mean star wars ?

Addendum: 4 should be Revisited, to keep exposure to Special Editions to a minimum if you're not going GOUT.

Interesting order there 5 man, not sure if that'll confuse her at all....I'll see how she is after Empire....
And Sky..as Frinky pointed out..She will watch all six...with Adywans ANH being the one to watch rather than the 77 (mainly because all I have is the shitty dvd's and they looky not so good) and ADigital man's version of Empire and depending on what order we watch them, maybe the official dvd of Jedi...
Mmmm dilemma indeed!!!
nvm - HotRod said it.
Look at it like this:
Number order (123456)
Release order (456123)
Dramatic order (451236)
The only one I think is the wrong way is number order, 3D release order be damned.

IS their a good fan version of Jedi that is essentually the 2004 minus Hayden as the ghost ?
Not sure but i think ADigitalMan restored Shaw but made a lot of other edits so its not really a virtual theatrical reconstruction like Adywan's Empire Strikes back.
What about episode I and II, then episode IV and V, followed by III and VI.

Anything starting with Episode I is a bad idea in my opinion. It's not a proper introduction to the universe.skyjedi2005 said:

Mmm...So..err without downloading the files (which would take me about 2 weeks) how do I go about getting Ady's ESP thingy he done???

ESP?
If you aren't going to download the files, I guess you'll have to hope someone is willing to send you a copy.
You must start with 4 and 5. Any other order destroys the drama of the best parts of the series because there are too many spoilers. The others are all just candy, but 4 and 5 are the soul of the saga, and must be seen first.

I was just going to suggest this as well. Doing it this way, the PT becomes a giant "flashback" in the films explaining how we got to "I am your father", then we come back to "current" time and finish the story with ROTJ.
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

I was using my ESP to get a copy od ESB....
Mmm...I wonder what kind soul in the UK would be willing to send me a copy...Pretty please!!!!
Yes, the PT becomes a GIANT flashback. I'm not completely sold on the 451236 order, but that might just be due to my undying hatred of the PT. Even so... do you want to watch three mostly unrelated movies before resolving the ESB cliff hangers?

I have to throw my weight behind 4,5,6,1,2,3. Watch them in production order, as God intended. And I have to say I'm against introducing someone with fanedits instead of the actual movies. Surely your DVDs can't be that bad.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
*coughs up milk, some of which comes up my nose* What? The DVD's not that bad? Have you compared Revisited to the 2004 DVD? I know you're a woman, but surely you have more discerning tastes than that, Gaffer?

Seriously though if you are going for the whole saga rather than introducing the lady to the world of Star Wars (and for that I'd go for the best OUT you can get your hands on).
I'd only pick fan-edits of the PT (Slumberland, JasonN, Magnoliafan, Phantom Editor via ADM) anything with a decent enough rep to take as much of the pain out of watching the official versions as possible.
I'd go for ANH:R and Ady's ESB reconstruction (for the time being) to represent 4 and 5 and you might as well put the official DVD of ROTJ in (for the time being) too.
I'd watch them in 456123 order myself but it's up to you.
123456 has the benefit of getting better in the middle as the story progresses and number 6 will come as a bit of a nod to the first 3 in terms of story quality.
Thing with the DVD's is...
ANH..Greedo shoots first...Crap!!!
ESB...Bloody new Palps scene and then the whole Vaders Shuttle scene...And Fetts shitty voice....Crap!!!
ROTJ...Well Hayden (which I don't mind so much, but only if we watch them 1 - 6, otherwise it makes no bloody sense)....
And the GOUT dvd's just look a little shitty on a big TV...
I want her to see the films in the best possible way she can...It's important to me...haha!!!
