Order of release.

Well...I'd do it this way.

With anybody over the age of say...10. Show them IV,V,VI then I,II,III.
Reason being if you want them to be a fan of the movies and not just watching them because it's part of our pop cultural heritage then something needs to be shown that is a bit gripping. Episode one was by far the weakest of the movies and honestly if I was a person who had NEVER seen Star Wars before I probably wouldn't care to see another one. I think that poorly done sequels can absolutely destroy lofty movies.
This is why I'll never likely ever show anybody the second or third Matrix movies. Those movies were so bad it absolutely ruined the original. I mean I loved the Matrix and I bought it three times over. But I still haven't bought Reloaded or Revolutions because I don't even want to waste time watching or showing such poor follow ups.

But 4,5 and 6 were so good it made me an eternal fan. Now if I was younger than 10 I probably wouldn't have cared and watching them in chronological order probably would have been best.

But I think personally as a fan from here on out...when I do watch them I'll go chronological order. I'm already a fan and that won't change and I already know the original trilogy by heart so watching it in release order means little.

Personally my order is going to be....
Episode I. Episode II. The Clone Wars cartoons. Episode III. The other show or toons that are done post Sith and pre New Hope. Episode IV. Episode V. Episode VI. And then if I really feel like finishing up my geek out...I'll go read the Thrawn series to "wrap things up".
