They're still great movies and characters that new and old fans love. You make it sound like the movies are totally unwatchable because of the changes that were made.
The only change I really don't like is the "Noooo" at the end of Jedi because it was better before but it doesn't make me never want to watch the movie again.

Not trying to downplay the enjoyment your kids get out of the movies, but they don't know any better. When they get older they will hear about the mysterious original versions, watch them, realize that Lucas lost the plot and made horrific changes to a classic, and feel the same sense of betrayal most adult star wars fans do now.
Besides, kids will like anything you throw on screen for them. But anyone who has any ability to critique what they watch will know that Lucas butchered the movies and their legacy.
