I want to get her hooked (preferably on both franchises)
Bet you wanna get her hooked on a little bit of dj_ivocha as well EH EH? :ebil: I gotta second Briareos, go with the original Star Wars trilogy. I mean who has ever heard of anyone not liking the original Star Wars trilogy? (besides Koki) Star Trek on the other hand, even
I have a hard time enjoying, and I like sci-fi.

If she's a damnfool realist, she might not like Star Wars. Then again, if she's a damnfool realist, run! Run like the wind!
I've found that Firefly is a sci-fi series that by and large even those people enjoy who don't like sci-fi. Unless they're dethtoll. Might be worth giving that one a try - and the ladies tend to like Mal Reynolds.

I agree with the Firefly approach. A self contained, compact series with lots of genuinely engaging characters.
Next stop, Galactica.
The Star Trek movies presume a lot of trekian foreknowledge on the part of the audience. It's a bit of a morass to chuck an SF virgin into.

If this relationship has any kind of romantic inclination I want to advise you just to dump her now before you realise later in life what a person liking Jar Jar Binks means.

Despite what George says sometimes you really aren't supposed to watch the prequels first. That's why they're prequels.
The central journey of Luke is discovering his destiny etc, which doesn't work at all if you already know who dad is from the start.

What if it's just sexual?
*shudders at the thought of what liking Jar Jar Binks might mean for a sexual relationship - although, then again, there is that tongue thing...*

Start with A New Hope. If she digs that, follow through with Empire and RotJ. Then quit while you're ahead. As Nicker says, the Trek movies are hard to get into if you haven't watched some of the TV series.

Is this like those people who also want their lover to have AIDS? As in, romanticising a common affliction.
shit didn't notice the giant Freddie right above this. Sorry Freddie.
Besides, everyone knows hot chicks only dig BSG.

best order to watch the Star Wars films in:
A new Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
Phantom menace adds nothing to the whole series and none of its characters play out at all in the current form. Watching in this order gives you the story of Luke on his collision course with Vader and then drops into a flashback of Anakin being corrupted before tying it all neatly up with the ewok forest party.
