People actually agonize over the "right" way to introduce children to Star Wars, huh?

This obsessing over Star Wars is mostly an old man's game anyway. The only reason it's at all relevant to Children is because they don't have anything like it to call their own. There's been nothing like it since that has rocked the culture like Star Wars has.

I didn't put a whole lot of thought into that statement so I hope there's not some huge cultural thing that I am overlooking. Does the Internet count? I thought about that, but it doesn't seem like an apples to apples comparison. All movies now have totally frikkin' awesome CGI, this is a thing, but there's not one movie, at least one that I can think of, that has captured the imagination of the entire country, the entire world like Star Wars did.

well, there was harry potter, but that was a thing unto itself that became so unlike star wars that by now you're right. of course, during that time, star wars totally changed, so it's not like it was when the first star wars kids were kids.

Yeah, Okay, Harry Potter is a thing. That's a good comparison.
