Someone else has posted the question that I blogged about on a previous site (about three years ago).
“Look, I know it’s Friday you’re just looking for some fun stuff to end the work week with, but we’ve got a pressing matter to discuss. Let’s say you’re a new father and a movie fan. When your child is of an appropriate age to start watching movies, in which order will you show him/her the six Star Wars movies? By original release date (Star Wars, Empire, Jedi, Phantom Menace, Clones, Sith) or according to the intra-movie chronology (Phantom Menace, Clones, Sith, Star Wars, Empire, Jedi)?”
It appears that the consensus from the masses (and most of the people I have raised this with) agree with what I think will be my final decision … Matthew will need to see the films in release date order.
That’s a load off my mind.

I agree! The sequels are much better when you know the back (forward) story.

It sure was a long time ago, in a life far, far away:
