It's been 39 years since "I am your father." I don't think the reveal is that much of a shock even to newbies anymore than "Rosebud" being a sled is. You can watch these in episode order and follow them. It's not rocket science, it's family entertainment. I have two friends who introduced their kids to Star Wars this way and they were just fine following it all.

Well, if the lady really didn't know the difference between Jabba and Yoda, she might actually be surprised by "I am your father". I rest my case. Resting ones case only means you have nothing more to add, it doesn't mean the outcome is in your favor. Confusing too non-human special effects creatures with baby names has no bearing on whether or not she heard "I am your father" and its context. It's one of cinemas most popular quotes. It's like, I used to say "go ahead, make my day" years before I actually saw Sudden Impact. Many people know the phrase but can't nail down the film other than to say "Dirty Harry.' Besides, who cares if it ruins the revelation for HER? It's still a revelation for LUKE. Running the films in episode order is valid. You just didn't discover them that way.

She sounds like my aunt watching a Marvel movie... "The hell is that purple guy?" "Ooo, there goes my guy, Idris Elbow!" "Ooo, there goes your girl, Scarlet Johnson!" "Which one is Captain America?" "Does Idris die in this? I don't wanna watch if he dies in this. Does he die? Does he? Does he? Boy, answer me!" "Ooo, there goes my song, Rubber Band... MAN!" "Which one is Black Panther? Is it the purple guy?"

I think what this guy and his wife illustrated is that if you take away childhood indoctrination and a pre-existing love of the franchise, most of Star Wars is junk. It tallies with my view that everything filmed after TESB has been too juvenile and silly, or a re-hash of what worked before, or just plain bad.
