re: Introducing my GF to Star Wars this week

I'm on a re-watch right now and started from Episode 1. It doesn't have the same effect this way, but that's ok.

How as anyone not seen ANY of the Star Wars movies who is between 10-75
You'd be very surprised. I'm 23 and I know a ton of people that haven't seen any. It makes me feel like a massive nerd but I don't get how they haven't seen a single movie from the biggest movie franchise on the planet. I think they don't like the stigma so they refuse to watch it.

Her and I already watched it in bed last week

Start with A New Hope. If she digs it, go through the OG Trilogy and straight into Episode 7. Don't even mention the prequels unless she requests to see them. If you start with the prequels, unless she had a childhood crush on Hayden Christenson, she's going to hate them, and assume all of the Star Wars movies must be sucky like the prequels.

Is it actually possible that an adult in 2017 doesn't know that Darth Vader is Luke's father?

This. A lot of people refuse to watch scify and fantasy movies because they're "just nerd stuff". They're afraid that if they watch it, they'll suddenly be laughed at by all of the kids at the cool table and never invited to prom, I guess. They see this huge number of movies and it's kinda overwhelming. It's like they don't think they can watch just one. It's all or nothing, and they don't want to commit that much to just "nerd stuff". They need to catch up on Real Housewives of ________ and their third netflix rewatch of "Gilmore Girls".

I thought Vader meant alone, breathless, breakfast table in an otherwise empty room...

Vater, pronounced Vader, is Father in German. But i was really just quoting Pitch Perfect.
Posted on 5/2/17 at 3:52 pm to CarRamrod
And I was quoting Eddie Vedder.

Tread lightly. If she really likes the movies she'll be your wife within the month.

Go in release order. 456 123 7 Rogue One.

Release order. I saw Phantom Menace when I was a kid before seeing the original trilogy. It doesn't make it better.

Introduced my wife about ten years ago before we were married.
Watched in the theatrical release order. My wife actually enjoyed the love story between Padme and Anakin.

Forget the "Luke, I am your father" spoiler - what about Yoda? One of the best moments in the entire series is being introduced to this wimpy little green dude in ESB, thinking he's comic relief, and then finding out he's a total Jedi badass.
You find that out when he shows up halfway PM. Totally ruins his entrance in ESB.

You should start with posting her picture.

This scene gives me such a strong force-boner
I want a badass R rated movie that's just Vader honing his force skills with the Emperor by hunting down a killing as many of the remaining Jedi as he can find in the most badass way.

Empire is the greatest movie ever made.
Judge me by my size do you? Size matter not when it comes to the force.
I don't believe it. That is why you fail.
Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously.

Machete Order really is the best way to watch IMO.
A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
The Force Awakens
Then show her Rogue One if she's really into them, and Phantom Menace some other time if she's like SUPER into them and demands to see it. Otherwise, Phantom Menace really isn't necessary at all.
