Bryn: I like Dark[sic] Vader
Dad: No! He's not nice.
Bryn: Yeah, he's a bad guy who hits other people
When Greedo pulls a gun on Han Solo, Grant: It's not nice to point a gun at someone else.
Trying to explain Darth Vader's breathing sound, Grant: They have to take his lungs out because he's not nice.
Grant: Why do those guys never change clothes?
What was your favorite part of the movie?
Grant: When they were getting squished.
Cole: My favorite part was when they got away. When they exploded the Depth Star. [sic]
Grant: Someone shooted an arrow and it hit it.
Cole: They got in little space ships.
Grant: They had to hit it just right, though.
Since then we've watched all of the movies except Episode III.
Grant: I don't want to watch where Darth Vader gets mad.
Cole: Dad I don't want to be a Jedi because I want to live with Heavenly Father faster. I'm just going to be a builder.
Grant: I don't like movies when they try to kill other people.
Watching Jar Jar Binks, Grant: What's wrong with him?
Noticing Amidala's frequent wardrobe changes, Grant: Why does she change clothes a lot?
After Qui-Gon-Jin is killed, Cole: Darth Maul doesn't know that he's going to go back to heaven.
Seeing Han and Leia and later Amidala and Anakin kiss, Grant: What are they doing?
All three of them call the Emperor, "The Emperator"
Welcome the wonderful world of a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

It is delightful to enjoy the varied perspectives on so many subjects which come from one's children, even when they are in their 30's and 40's. :))))
Thank you for taking good notes on these gems of enlightenment. We love the fresh view.
We, too, have some hard-core fans, even though the names and plotlines are largely misunderstood. To wit: Each FHE, Max (3) requests for us to sing the theme song of "Koo Kah" (his name for Darth Vader, because that's how his breathing sounded to him as a 2-year-old). He was initially terrified of him but is now fascinated and insists on playing his character during the daily light "saver" duel with Matthew.
All 4 speaking children refer to the Emperor as "the Empire". Each trip to the library requires a check out of a Star Wars book, and thankfully, there are finally some in the picture/easy reader sections.
Last week, while I was in Florida, Taylor was often singing
Ghost Busters. He's never seen the movie -- "too scary".
Thank you for sharing the marvelous comments of your little Padawans! We oldies over here got a great kick out of it! *still laughing*
When we were eight, my friend Cooper was convinced Darth Vader said his name as he breathed.
"Cooh-Perrrhhhhh" LOL
