introduce his 6yr old son to star wars this weekend, does he start with the original? Or the prequel trilogy?

original

It depends if you want him to be a fan, or if you want him to hate it with a passion.
- monospaced0
start with the original

Shelter him from the prequel trilogy.

guarenteed he'll prefer the newer ones, more chance of getting him into star wars that way, me thinks.

Pretend that the prequel doesn't even exist. Then, when he turns 18, shatter his world along with all of the other misconceptions he has about life.

what a silly question!!!!
the ORIGINAL obviously!Then when he's 22 years old let him see the newer ones.

Lucky for you a 5 year old uses imagination as a primary tool to enjoy movies like this. They don't really care too much about the realism of the effects or whether or not writing is bad, or character development is poor, etc. So, what you might consider important differences between the original trilogy and the new ones, a 5 yo most likely won't. The question still remains, which ones to go with. I'd say watch the one YOU were most in awe with at your earliest age, and see if the feeling is shared.
- not so sure about that these days, kids are little fucking techiesset

original trilogy.
my daughter is 7, and my son is 4, and i'll be hitting em with this same thing in a few weeks (borrowing awesome projector from my office and will show it in the rec room downstairs....we did this a few weeks ago and all watched 'the jungle book' and they went nuts....they've seen that movie a million times, but projected so big with good sound etc, it was an all new experience..
so i'll blow their minds with Star Wars this coming weekend i think :)

i showed my 3 yr old parts of episode 1... wife wasnt happy. but it freaked him out. put them all back in the box for a few years (movies, not the wife and kid).

Have they covered the groundwork properly yet?
- bulletfactory0
start with the originals. shorter and way better. I'm 31 and don't have the attention span to sit all the way through episode 1.
