That's stupid... they'd still know that Luke is Anakin's son because we see Obi-Wan drop Luke off with Owen.
They only way to watch the Saga/Sextet is IV, V, VI, I, II, III
But if luke's name is never revealed in Episode III. Then this is what you would see.
Episode III: An infant boy, son of padme and anakin, being taken to Owen and Beru Lars, on Tatooine.
Episode IV: A Twenty year old kid working on their farm (what happened to the baby that was taken there in Episode III is yet to be revealed). This young man goes on many adventures, and in Episode V, Darth Vader Tells him "I am your father". AMAZING!!!!
Hey everyone thanks for the welcome! I read this board so often I actually forgot that I hadn't posted yet 😐
Red Superfly - that's true, we had the psp here ever since I can remember, then it just got released in north america, it's really wierd when people are getting excited about something you've already played at the store like 100 times, haha.
TheElectricFox - I live in Nara prefecture, about a month ago I lived in Osaka prefecture. Nara is kind of older japan, but it's a very touristy town. Osaka to me, is Japan, salarymen, pachinko, crowds, crazy fashion, bars everywhere, crazy food.. yeah, I miss Osaka!
Darth_Vader05 - I'm going to be doing the same, kind of, episode 1 and 2 on July 8th, then episode 3 on the 9th, then I fly back to Canada!? so I'll have to somehow squeeze the other ones in there somehow.
I just hope this thing plays out as smoothly as you're reasoning, macgeek2005, I don't think they should've shown the kids at all in rots, and have padme's fate kind of just left up to the imagination to flow better with Leia's "my mother died when I was very young" - how much do you remember when you're like, a day old? Ah, alot of this trilogy linking stuff is done very poorly, the potential was there to make it amazing. Like I said earlier though, alot of it is amazing for me. This post has sure gone a few wierd places, how did grevious get in here? haha
that's an interesting order, and I can see your reasoning, I've never thought of watching them like that but it makes sense. Spaceopera, they absolutally hate xbox over here. Well, not hate, but I have seen only one xbox advertisement in the whole country. Everything is playstation, and gamecube is a far second, xbox is sold in stores and stuff but nobody seems to pay it much interest. Quite odd indeed!
Hmm.. I did skip a few posts so if this has been said.. meh..
But everyones been suggesting that you still should watch it OT then NT.
Has anyone thought of how much more NT would rock if no one had seen any starwars films yet?
It works either way:
If you watch 123 first.. your gonna be like.. man anikan will never turn... then.. holy flame balls didn't see that comin..
But as said, the "luke, I am your father" pitch won't be dramatic.. it'll be a repedative kick in the nads...
same story, watch it 4,5,6 you get the intense "luke.. I'm u're dad!" but NT comes.. and you know it all. No twists.. no drama.. just HOW it all unveils...
I think if you haven't seen any of the trilogies... it doesn't matter where you start.. either 1 or 4...
But for petey boys sake... george has no pitty for those who havent seen starwars yet.
NEW FAN - "man oh man.. can't wait to see episode 3.. ani no doubt becomes the chosen one right... (movie trailer "jediaction2" airs).. oh.. ani turns to the darkside, papatines the emporer... well.. time to go shoot myself in the nuts.. thanks george!" 😂

I don't know about that. A lot of the appeal of the PT derives from the fact that it is a tragedy and that the audience wonders how a nice guy like anakin becomes a badass like darth vader.

Yes yes... that's all part of the point. It works in just the opposite if you haven't seen 4 5 6. People wonder what will still happen to "poor" anikan and they still get the suspense watching 1 2 3 not knowing weather he would turn or not... assuming you aren't spoiled by trailers.
This is the point... either trilogy you watch first.. you get close to equal suspence, the plot twists/suprises are equally as big.
watch NT first, your OT suprise is spoiled, watch OT first, your NT suprise is spoiled... get it?
Hense my statement.. doesn't really matter which order you watch it in in the long run. I refer to the prophecy of the director who has brought balance, to the trilogys...... 😱
hey guys,
yeah it's a great idea to watch OT and then PT, but 10 years from now, some kid will go to the movie store and pick up star wars out of curiosity, not knowing anything about it. He's most likely going to watch 1-6, most people don't pick up books and start halfway through. I was thinking about it tonight, and even though they don't mention Luke's name in rots, they mention the skywalker name in ANH, and all throughout the PT they mention skywalker, anakins last name, so by the time darth reveals his big secret, that guy with his new rentals will just think "yeah, I know..?" it will lose alot of the impact, just like how the scene near the beginning of ANH will lose some relevance when obi wan is telling luke about his father, because not only do we know all this, but we know that most of it didn't really happen the way he explained it. I love the entire saga so much, I just want people 10 years from now to see it through the same eyes I do.. aah!
