I thought you Star Wars fans might be interested... and there seem to be a lot of you on here.

my kids (3 and 6) watched the first three star wars movies over thanksgiving weekend. the 6 y/o actually sat through them each in their entirety, but couldn't keep track of who was who. the minute someone was wearing a new outfit, she no longer recognized him/her. the 3 y/o would wander in and out of the room after a bit, but the movies seem to have made the bigger impact on him - everything is star wars oriented now. i'm c3po. the sonata is an x-wing fighter. our house is the destroyed planet alderaan, and he (luke skywalker) puts it back together for princess leia (his mother). funny shit.
