Well okay he has, but like.. once when he was 5. Apparently all he remembers is someone said "I've got a bad feeling about this.". He also says he wants to watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Should I go IV, V, VI, I, II, TCW, III? Or I, II, TCW, III, IV, V, VI?

I neither fear, nor despise.
Do the Original Trilogy first, then the Prequels.

That's how most of us watched them, and we turned out fine.

I'd hate to see what would happen if you reversed the order.......

Yeah, pretty much this. There are lots of subtle hits and allusions to the original trilogy in the new trilogy that you'll miss if you haven't seen 4, 5, and 6 first.

You get someone who appreciates all films for an amazing story. (We didn't own the OT until after we saw Ep. III)

Technically yes, though I was more referring to the TV show. But yes, there is a TCW movie, making it the 7th Star Wars movie.

The Clone Wars movie is animated though, its not "Episode VII" or anything like that.

Well, duh. Though I don't see why it being animated negates that. I think it's more the fact that it's called The Clone Wars, not Episode VII.

Just show him the prequels and the Star Wars Holiday Special and laugh as you turn to the dark side of the force.

Then give this to him as bonus material.



Spoiler
The Prequels aren't THAT bad though.

You end up preferring the prequels by far.

I like that. It reminds me of machete, except it includes I.

Skip the shitty CG tv series and the prequels.

Only show the original originals. If he's interested in watching more show the prequel movies. If he's still interested in more show the original clone wars cartoon.

If he asks to see the CG stuff hit him upside the head with a shovel.
