What this really calls for is a study - show half a group of kids the films in one order, the other in the other order, and ask them when they get older how powerful an experience was. Plus the eye-candy factor will draw them into story. I’d say the narrative weaknesses and relative crapiness of episodes I - III are unlikely to be noticed by kids, who lack the jadedness and high expectations that we carried to these films. Sure we just notice the plot holes (and the tweaks done to the earlier movies, which are from a certain valid perspective unforgivable), but to a first-time viewer, those may well be quibbles, and a larger truth/beauty may emerge experiencing the movies “as they were meant to” be experienced.Ģ) The child viewer reason. Now sure, episodes IV - VI are better films then I - III, but there are two compelling reasons to try Lucas’ preferred order on the kids:ġ) The artistic vision/plot cohesion reason. What we have here is a cognitive bias because you guys saw them in this order, that’s the only order they should be viewed in. I’m going to give the devil’s advocate position a shot.
