How to watch the Star Wars series

Ok, so not a film post - I would like to discuss how you would like a newbie watch the Star Wars series.

Two schools of thought here, release date (New Hope, Empire, Return, Phantom, Sith then Clones) or chronological order (Phantom, Sith, Clones, New Hope, Empire and Return).

Release date gives my boys the same experience I had where I, II and III are a prequel to IV, V and VI. Chronological ruins the surprise in Empire.

With a quick hat-tip to Wired.com, I would like to show them in order of New Hope, Empire, Phantom, Sith, Clones and Return. This way, the surprise is maintained in Empire and Anakin's back story is shown before his redemption in Return.

Your thoughts...
