I'm of the firm belief that episodes IV-VI exist, but another poster had a nice idea on the order

IV
V
II
III
VI

Start off with the original, then Empire since this keeps the twists in the story alive (although I'm sure he knows them already, knowingly or not). Skip Episode I because it literally adds nothing. Then go to Episode II (even though its the worst film of the saga), and finally III. This will actually make it a good twist that Luke has a twin and then he'll be shocked that its later. Then go to the conclusion of "Return of the Jedi".

Very good Idea...but he is going to wanna watch 1... I know it

And he should watch it. It's so stupid how irrational peoples' hatred of the prequels are. Sure, they were annoying at times and not "great" movies, but people hate the frick out of them, and it's unjustified IMO.

Episode 1 is a solid, fun movie. Yeah, kid Anakin is annoying. Yeah, JarJar was annoying (though not as bad as people think). Etc. But there are some cool parts to the movie, and Darth Maul is one of the coolest characters in any SW film.

Just show him the original trilogy, then explain to him that the prequels were made and present those in order too. Let him make up his own mind as to which ones he likes and which ones he thinks are terrible (I bet he likes all of them btw). Certainly don't skip over any because some think it sucks...none of them "suck." And he'll especially like Episode 1 because he is who it was mainly aimed at anyway.
