Triliogy for newcomers (spoilers?)

hey guys,
If a newcomer gets into star wars and watches them 1-6, (as george lucas wants us to, as one 12 hour movie) will "no, I'm your father" seem as powerful? Or will it just be redundant? we know this is the story about darth vader, and in rots we find out he gives birth to luke, won't it seem a little less powerful when he says it in esb? Or do they not mention his name? Just a thought I had, as I think vader in esb is one of the best things in the whole series, I don't want him to seem any less awsome to any star wars newcomers!

Welcome here Gord!
Lucas said some time ago that the way to watch them is still 4-6 and 1-3 for 1-3 is "only" the background to the original story. My girl will see them from the beginning, she started with one, now we´r waiting for 3 and then we will watch the others. She doesn´t know what´s happening in the OT. The final in ROTJ will hit her def more than us I think... She still don´t know how Anakins way ends. Wish I could change with her. ✅

Are you really from Japan?

yeah, it is one of the best things in the whole ot...

which is why now GL has ruined it by screwing around with the pt...

but everyone should watch in 'proper' order anyway.....ie 4 5 6 1 2 3.

456 = starwars

123 = for the fans

when i have a kid (hopefully that stays non plural), i'd like him/her to see it in the order i & most people did, OT first, then PT.

that won't be for a few years though. before then though, i can turn my friends daughter to the darkside away from her fathers evil matrix fanboy ways.

😆 😆 😆

good news, your having twins!
*jumps off bridge*

😄

if i ever found out i was having twins, i'd had a giddy laugh to myself and say "luke...and leia"...then i'd run screaming tearing my hair out.

When I have them all on DVD im going to watch them the way they were made
4-5-6-1-2-3

That is the proper way of doing it...

Whenever I have kids, they will watch the trilogy the first few times as 4-5-6 then 1-2-3, after they are used to the story then we will watch them 1-2-3-4-5-6.

Right words and nothing to add!

😄

I think it is important to watch the OT first....I dont really know why but it just feels right. Not saying that the PT isnt as important (its damn important) but i just think its important to understand the OT 1st then watch the prequals

wow, what an amazing number of responses in such a short time! I don't want to turn this into a discussion about the PT or lucas bashing, because almost every thread in every star wars forum is already about that, but I just think some of the things happening in the PT need to line up a little better, but at the same time I really like the way some of the things DO line up. I think the luke and vader relationship is one of the most important things in the OT, and not every person that watches star wars will have parents as wise as us to show them the right order and fill their heads with the magic of an untampered triliogy. I just hope the luke thing is done discreetly in rots, so the line in ESB still means as much as it always does. and Lord Banshee, I live in japan now but I'm origionally from canada. Here, rots comes out in july. JULY. I've read this forum every day for a few months now (but for some reason just started posting today) but on may 19th, I'm ignoring this board for 2 months, I can't stand to watch you guys gloat about the movie I can't see! At least with my ticket purchase (3 months in advance, haha) I get a free vader lightsaber keychain! Ok this post is long enough, haha

Oh man, I feel for you bro, seriously.

If I were you I'd fly back to Canada just to see ROTS when everyone else does. 😄

😬 😬 😬
July?!? Oh, that´s bad...
🙁 🙁 🙁
Reminds me of 1999 when EP I started. Here in Germany we had to wait until the last week of SEPTEMBER!! 😒
That was bad! I got you man! ✅

But Gord, you live in Japan, you get all the video games and techy stuff first. Japan rocks.

i would like to watch all of them without stopps for chaging dvds, credits, lucas film logos, yada yada 1>2>3>4>5>6.

Does General Grievous have 4 arms in this movie like he did in "Clone Wars"?
