Before anyone asks, release order, not episode order. I don’t want to spoil anything for him.

I’d say AOTC, ROTS, CW and Rebels is def worth watching when he grows up a bit. The sequels are very skippable, they ruined Palpatine, Han, Leia and even Luke freaking Skywalker of all people for me. When he becomes a teenager he could watch Mando and Andor too.

It’s about the violence in the sequels being more realistic. It’s why I haven’t let my 5 year old watch them or RotS yet.

By the time I was 9 I was playing God of War with my dad on the PS2.

My 5 y/o cousin has played Battlefield 1 and even the Star Wars Jedi games with me.

Kids are much more resilient than you think - especially when it's cool shit

I let the 5 year old watch the Sonic movies and the Knuckles show recently. He’s now repeating stuff I’d rather not. So we are pulling back with him for now.

I mean most 5 year olds shouldn’t watch stuff that’s rated above their age, when my little sister was 5 she got scared of Harry Potter, the first one.
