Glad to hear someone finally speak the truth.
It never really added up to a convincing fantasy/ sci fi world, just a bunch of mediocre actors running around in goofy costumes as pretext to sell cheap, disposable toys to prop up the Taiwanese economy.

@Horp. I agree, Star Wars sucks. But a 6 year old would probably like it, it's made for kids. Old dudes just like it for nostalgia. I saw Star Wars (original trilogy) for the first time at about age 17 and I said to my friends, "Uh, are you guys serious? This sucks!" Anyway, if daddy wants to have a little bonding time with his son, better to show him now while he's young and naive and doesn't know how to tell if something is good or not.
More importantly: "don't waste your child's time?" You can't waste a child's time. Their time has no value. What else is he going to be doing? Getting a job? Studying for college?

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.

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 :)

No. WAY too young for a job or advanced education. Try spending some time playing, or bonding over an activity. Go and find nature and look for bugs, build a den, do a drawing together, make up some funny stories, go and have a giant glass of ice cream in a really expensive restaurant and behave like a pair of loons.
Too soon to be thinking about jobs and college. Way too soon.

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.
