Serious Discussions About Star Wars
Four of my boys are enamoured with all things Star Wars, so it was no surprise to hear them all sitting around the table during open centers discussing it. One of the boys was trying to figure out a way to kill off Luke Skywalker that the other three would go along with, but the other three weren’t biting, and so the conversation went like this:
“..and then Luke dies because Darth Vader kills him.”
“~sigh~Anikan Skywalker broke his light saber and so he went BAD and turned INTO Darth Vader but Luke Skywalker is his SON and Darth Vader wanted to destroy everyone BUT his son and that is why he went back to good and went to Jedi heaven.”
LONG PAUSE
Then the boy who is trying to figure out how to off Luke said, “I don’t want to talk about Star Wars. I want to talk about T-Rexes. They have SHARP TEETH…
PAUSE
“AndcaneatLukeSkywalker.”
To which the other three boys all said, “NO, VADER SAVES LUKE!!!”
Very serious discussions indeed.
And so the next generation of nerdiness is blooming, you should be so proud.
That really makes me feel kind of squishy-good. I mean, it’s kind of neat that Star Wars is a totally multi-generational geek… besides, the little guy is right – a T-Rex, with its sharp teeth *could* eatLukeSkywalker, but only if it ateDarthVader first
