So, as you might remember, we were discussing what age would be appropriate to introduce my son (6 yrs. old) to Star Wars. I still think six might be a touch early (although I was watching much worse stuff when I was a kid)…but I don’t want the big spoiler of Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back to get ruined for my son by someone else tell him. My wife and I decided to do a huge Star Wars weekend…and the kids (Kai and his cousin) didn’t even know about it. They were downstairs…and I remotely turned on my computer playing the Star Wars theme at maximum volume…and down the stairs we came dressed in our costumes. LOL… So we have the first six movies, an R2D2 inflatable, blasters, a Star Wars cake, Star Wars toys, margaritas (uh…yeah…I know…)…I mean, Intergalactic Margaritas, and a whole bunch of other stuff…
Yeah…going 4-5-6 then 1-2-3. I’ve heard perhaps it is best to go 4-5-1-2-3-6…but at their age level, I’m not sure if they can handle the skip back and then forward. But it was great because I video-taped them during the great Vader reveal at the end of EP5… What a great moment… LOL…
Got through 4,5,6 - very enjoyable. I can see why 6 was the least favorite (generally)…it’s like Jim Henson decided to direct a movie. So today we start 1,2,3…
They are outside blasting each other (in the face probably) with their Nerf Star Wars blasters right now…
Just got back from taking the boys (Kai and his cousin) to see Star Wars: The Awakening. Holy cow. No spoilers. But wow. What a rollercoaster. And the effects. Wow. I wanna be a pilot for the Rebellion when I grow up.
