Thursday October 11, 2007 | Watched Star Wars for the First Time With My Daughter | Kids |
As a Star Wars fan, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I got to sit down and watch Star Wars with my daughter on my lap. She loved it. I loved watching it with her and answering her questions (she had many). Afterwards she wanted to play with my Star Wars toys vintage collectables. And, yes, I did show her Daddy in the movie. She wants me to wear that costume for Halloween.
She cannot escape her destiny:
She's four years old and is really into characters and plots now. No more Dora, Blue's Clues and Wiggles. Now it's High School Musical (1 & 2) and many new books. She can handle the idea of death without getting scared and she also knows that everything on TV is "pretend." It helps that I tell her what's going to happen so she's prepared. Still, some concepts were hard to explain. The Force, Obi-Wan dead, but not really. I didn't want to call him a ghost so he's just "living inside the Force" now. She also didn't like Alderaan betting blown up. I had to compare that to the Big Bad Wolf blowing down the pigs' houses.
She liked Princess Leia because she's into the whole Princess thing (thanks, Disney), but that's also got her interested in the first place. I think her only disappointment in Star Wars was that Princess Leia didn't do anything during the final battle. Where is she? What's she looking at? Where's her spaceship? Time for some Nancy Drew books now and some Buffy videos in a few years. Maybe some Xena. 
She wants to watch "the second movie" but I may wait a bit. It's a bit darker.
