After careful consideration, I've determined that March 18, 2015 is the date I can likely show our kid's the Star Wars movies. That's the day Nate turns 5. I might move that out farther, based on maturity level, but definitely won't move it up any sooner.
This will give me time to determine how to show the films.....because this is a serious question. Do you do it chronologically from release -- showing the superior films first? Or, do you show it chronologically from the movie's timeline, in which case you are forced to show the "Phantom Menace" first (which is the most patently inept, infinite budget film, ever made)?
The films have violence. They have (laser) guns. Not very accurate guns, but they are guns nonetheless. People lose hands. Robots lose limbs. So, I'll probably preview the films myself, before showing them. Maybe even edit some of the content out on the fly (fast forward), when the time comes.
It will definitely take multiple viewings. One film a week maybe, spread across 2 or 3 nights, just so they can fully appreciate it.
I can't wait. The first movie had a big effect on me, when I saw it in 1977, at the age of 5, and I'm sure it will have a similar effect on my kid's now.
