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.

Fwiw, my brother & I were taken to the original film when it was first in the cinemas for his 7th birthday treat; he was bored/afraid, while I (aged 9) loved it. There again, kids today are probably a rather different species.

Thanks for the data point! Yeah, I guess those movies are really slow compared to a lot of the stuff kids watch these days.
