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.

I watched A new Hope with my dad when I was 6 and liked it enough that I dug through the tapes to watch empire strikes back and return of the jedi with him.

....Empire strikes back was prolly the scariest of the 3? (Phantom menance came out when i was 12/13).

I watched all 3 of the original trilogy on my own when I was 8/9 and really enjoyed them, but otoh, I was also reading in the adult section of the library for my sci-fi and fantasy needs by that point.

Basically, every kid is different so.

Late reply, sorry! Thanks for the data point. : ) Yeah, I guess all kids are different so it can be hard to say in the general case.
