It looks as though I'm alone in this. I'm a die hard Star Wars fan, and while I do have a favorite of them all; I don’t dislike any. I do have one character that I truly dislike (from Episode I-not to hard to tell who that would be), but just accept him as an annoyance that fellow characters saw him as.
My reasoning: why not? Yeah we saw it that way it was released . . . and?
Your two year old son would probably like Episode I over Star Wars for obvious reasons anyway. Unless of course you've exposed him to Pulp Fiction, Highlander, and other similar bounce setting movies, not that I have anything against that type of storytelling.
I read an article a couple years with George Lucas stating the reason he went in the order he did and waited so long for the most recent releases is he was waiting for the technology to develop enough providing him with the tools he felt he needed. That may or may not be true. I respect everyone’s comfort and loyalty to tradition, but things change. The story will shortly be full completely out. Why not watch it chronologically? Advancements were added to the originals to bring them up to speed (minus the Jabba the Hut scene with Han in the Hanger).
This of course is IMHO.
