Nitpick: its always been "No Luke. I am your father." I'm not sure where the "Luke, I am your father" comes from.
The line is simply "No. I am your father."

Anyway, for initial viewing, I would show the OT trilogy first.

I would show the originals first. Those were the ones that captured everyone's imagination and spawned everything else. If they like those and want to know more about the past of the universe, then they can watch the prequels.

OT first. In fact, I'll show them my VHS copies of the OT.

That is, assuming VCRs still exist by the time I manage to reproduce. :P
Is it a crime to try and learn the truth? Is it a sin to search for those things which you fear? My purpose in this world is knowledge, and the dissemination of it. And it is I who is to restore the fruits of my labors to the entire world. Wake up! Don’t be afraid of knowledge! Humans who loose the capacity to think become creatures whose existence has no value. Think, you humans who are split into two worlds! Unless you want the gulf between humans to expand into oblivion, YOU MUST THINK! - Schwarzwald

"That reminds me, I have something to give you but your uncle wouldn't allow it, thinking you'd run off with your father's VCR on some damn fool, idealistic crusade to watch all the films."

"What is it?"

"It's my VHS copy of the Star Wars trilogy. VHS was an elegant format, for a civilised time. Before the dark times. Before the DVD Empire."

"This format sucks."
