    Okay,
    If your not a starwars fan then you won't even understand the significance of it, but I have a bit of a problem. My wife has never watched the starwars films, which order do you think I should show them in?

    It's kinda a different story depending on the order (ie: 123456 or 456123)

    Any sci-fi freaks on here got an opinion?

    you didn't know? Chris played chewbacca in the first one, he quit after that becasue he wanted to grow more hair, but George Lucas was afraid he might end up looking like cousin IT from Adams Family. (wich was, not a big surprise, ended up being done by Chris aswell)

    If you have to show them all, I'd do it in the order 123456. That way the shit ones are out the way and hopefully forgetten afterwards. And with her not having seen any of them before, I'd guess she's not that into sci-fi, so Episode 1 should break her in nicely.

    Lol, true dexington. Julan Smith replaced me in Empire and RoTJ.

    I think 456 is the way to go. I'll show her 123 because I quite liked 3 and showing her in in isolation won't make sense. Plus, she's a girl so she'll geek out over the badly written, poorly constructed and genuinly unbelievable love story between Anakin and Padame.

    It's funny, because watching 456123 the big shocker to the whole story is that Vader is lukes father. But if you watch it 123456 then te shocker is that Anakin turned to the darkside and became Vader. By the time the reveal happens in Empire, it's like "yeah, and what?"

    Edit:
    Lol at Ben. Indeed sir :-)

    hmmm it's a tough one chris.

    i'd make her watch the sequence twice in different orders and then get her to write a full dissertation on the artistic merits of each sequence.

    then make her watch the remastered copies and again provide written explanation why she hasn't watched them previosly!!!

    all without sleep or a break imho

    had the same dilema with my son, went for 456 then 123. but made a point of finding the original versions of 456 without all that extra crud added in, I really hate that bit in the canteen where they made it look like solo fires first. lol :euge: he prefers the originals as they are better films. it's that simple.

    123456 as thats how it was always ment to be played out. doesnt matter if 123 are not as good as 456, if she didnt grow up watching any of them then its not going to matter to her.
    dont forget to let her watch the holiday special too :)

    as jack said. Just show her the originals and nothing else.

    My chicks has watched one of the new ones and hated it so much she wont watch the original ones and has banned me watching them while she is in the room.


    hell even george lucas has apologised for the new ones
