I never thought about how it would be to watch them in the real numerical order. WEIRD!

Oh? And how so? I'm not a star wars fan, but was impressed by how Lucas pulled it off.

Considering poWerbOy preceded that statement saying she liked Phantom Menace, I'm not sure we can accept her comments as valid ;). Hehe, just kidding.

In my mind, Episode III blew the first two out of the water... it actually felt like a Star Wars movie. I wouldn't rank Episode III anywhere in my top 20 movie list (though, I guess I wouldn't rank any of the Star Wars films... though I do enjoy them), but it was definitely the best of the prequels... and most fans agree on that.

Well, most of us don't have any and don't plan on it for some time. We're just asking, when you do have kids in the furture, in what order will you introduce Star Wars to them.

well i thought that the whole thing with anakin and padme was cheesy and anakin turned to the dark side too easily. And if general grievous was supposed to be a villain, i missed it. lol i found some of the most serious parts funny. maybe that's just me. actually it probably is just me. the movie wasn't awful, and i liked it but i definitely wouldn't say it's the best star wars film. and i didn't like the "only a sith deals in absolutes" line.

I didn't like that line either, nor did I like the whole Grievous thing. But compared to ep 2, the Anakin/Padme storyline was ok (as in not cheesy; I hated their story in part 2). And Anakin's turn to the dark side was done well, as we saw the process.

I think the best part was when they made the shadow in Darth's image

I haven't seen Ep. III yet. I have seen all the others and I am not sure if I as a parent would want my kids to see them, but I guess I will see then.

You mean in Episode III? I don't remember there being a scene like that but I haven't seen it since the theaters.

I really liked the publicity poster they had for Phantom Menace with little Ani walking in the desert Tatooine and his shadow is Darth Vadar

I am going show them in the order I saw them. VI, V and then episode IV.

The first scene of Star Wars I saw was Yoda's death. :(

Then the prequels.

I think he meant "I" as in himself, not as in the first SW movie. :)

An easy mistake to make - Bmuntz doesn't have the most readable typing style. ;) *is happy because she insulted the mayor*

You are most welcome, STRYPER darling! :inlove: I had no idea that you would come around so soon!
