Question for people with kids

[luzula]

How old would you say that a kid should be in order to watch the first Star Wars trilogy? My best friend's kid wants to watch it and I have said that I will do it with him when he's old enough, but neither of his parents are geeky people and they have never watched it themselves.

Mine at the age of under 10 liked the first one but got very bored by the one where Anakin and Padme keep gazing at each other in a field.

Here I have to say that I haven't seen them all myself because my mother wouldn't let me see the original first one when I was 11 and I have been holding a grudge ever since. I saw Phantom Menace when it came out with the aim of watching them in order from there but wasn't impressed enough to bother. My knowledge is osmosis and wandering through the room when they are on.

Thanks! I think I saw the first trilogy myself when I was 13-14 or so? Which I think was actually just the right age for me to grow obsessed with them.
