No idea if this is the right forum to post it in...if not please move it.
Come the end of 2005 all the episodes will be on DVD and that's where it starts. We the old generation have grown up with the OT and now near the end of the PT...so we have never known about the things that happened before A new Hope.
So just how will the new generation of star wars fans see star wars? I mean they will not experience it the way we did. Imagine for a sec that we all started first ep 1 and so on...would we see star wars the same way we do now?

Well i personally feel sorry for the new Star Wars heads. But i also beleive it is up to us, the ol skool, to present it in the way it was meant (if we have the means of course). If you look at the OT vs the PT, theyre completely different types of movies. If i was introduced to SW via Ep1, i prolly wouldnt like it. I just would have watched because of NP sexy ass. But yea i think they see itin a completely different way.
I myself, have shown my 4 year old the OT before i let him see the PT, and he can tell the difference between them even at his young age. I mean he laughs at Jar Jars dumb ass, but then again thats why he was put in there. And thank you for a good thread finally. Most of these other ones stink of shit.
maybe a little out of topic...But if they made the classics now...the story would be a lot different....maybe even better!!! It would be an interesting topic, but I don't know where to place it...even ep III would be different.

I'm telling you, the story would be better/different if it was made in the right order...I don't say that it would improve so much, cause yeah the cast would be different and myeah you are never gonna find such a good cast anymore like harrison, mark and carrie

i agree... i did the same. i let my girlfriend see the OT first then the PT.
she never seen a starwars moive until we met. she wanted to expeirence epIII with me, so i let her watch the movies in the order i grew up watching.

That's exactly what I mean! I'm a deep core star wars fan and love it! But the thing is...it's not made as it meant to be despite the fact how good it is! First of all...the Death Star wouldn't be blown up in ep IV. It would stay a remaining threat until the end of ep VI! The reason why it was blown up is because they didn't know star wars would become such a succes!

i think both ways provide a different experience. watching it from ep 1 through ep 6 you dont know that the republic is going to fall and that anakin turns to the dark side along with palpatine being evil. On the other hand watching it from ep 3-6 and then ep1-3 you know palpatine and anakin are going to turn but you dont know that anakin is luke and leias father. each way holds a different surprise but i think that the surprise of anakin being the father and leia being lukes sister is by far the most surpriseing part.

Which is the way my better-half will see it, by her decision....
"I am your father" will not have that same nerve shattering impact that
I was blessed with being a 456123 guy...
Nor will she have had the same hindsight I did (Knowing who Palps was from the outset, and knowing the ominous rumblings of the future when the clone army in ep2 was discovered... etc....)
I saw TPM, then I saw the OT, and then I watched AOTC in cinemas, now I'm going to watch ROTS. I saw TPM when I was about 8 years old, I was easily impressed. My brother who is a lot older, said that it was bad compared to the others and told me to watch the OT. I liked TPM, but it was only after I saw the OT that I realised how good SW was.
Sure you're supposed to see them 1-6, but watching them the way they were released is so much better. I appreciate the newer episodes because I was always curious how Anakin became Vader, how Palpatine took over, how bad ass Yoda and Obi-Wan were, etc.
That and I'm a Tarantino fan so I love things to be out of order.
