RE: Revisiting the Star Wars prequel trilogy
we were actually just talking about introducing our kids to Star Wars (actually we just watched Space Balls with them and they LOVED it LOL). Now the dilemma where to start, I was just going to start with the older movies but now I kinda am thinking about starting from the chronological beginning.
Haha, yes, Spaceballs is hilarious. I usually recommend starting with Episode 1, and have noticed over time that people who are unfamiliar with Star Wars tend to like it the prequel trilogy a lot better not coming in with any expectations. I've also noticed many put Episode III right up there; while it's usually IV or V for those who watched it before. The later episodes do also resonate deeper, having known exactly what Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan have been through. Of course, you do know who Luke, Leia and Darth Vader are, but in general for such stories it's better knowing the past than the future.
