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.

Both were intimately familiar with the story line as a result of playing the Lego game versions (which are adorable!!) from a young age - danno was maybe 4 when dude started playing it. Dude was perhaps 7 when we watched the original trilogy.

I didn't encourage my kids to watch the "prequel trilogy" and I think that the eldest watched them on TV where they'd been modified to PG. We've all seen the new movies in the theatre, so danno would have been 8 for The Force Awakens. He's overexposed to cinematic violence, anyway. *shrugs the shrug of a bad parent*
