I am your father

[tagarack]

As we all know, Darth tells Luke that he is his father. Before the new trilogy, this was a huge revelation. I remember thinking, "Wow, didn't see that coming." And now, I wonder as a new generation watches the movies in the "correct" order, how this is ruined for them. They will certainly know from the story of Anakin how he is Luke's dad, so it won't be any shock. Do you think this will ruin future viewers from this great moment?

Yeah, it's going to suck. I tell my friends to watch them in the original order. Otherwise a lot of things will be meh.

I agree with gwendl. You have to watch them with four being the first one. It's more exciting that way for the whole series.

The problem is, of course, that it will be hard for people to avoid spoilers, no matter what order they watch the films in. The saga is just too big a part of pop culture.

So technical post. I have read it completely.. But its good that your problem has been resolved.

I always have the habit of following any movie that I'm interested in watching in their chronological order. I wouldn't like to miss a thing or jump into any stage lacking information I would have gotten from the old one's.

It's my personal favourite quote from Star Wars.

This was the exact way I watched the series and it was completely interesting and to know you understand everything that happened without missing a line.
