Little Man has become obsessed with Star Wars. There are Star Wars books at his school's library and he has been begging to watch the movies. After surveying several parents of older children, I determined that he was at the right age to watch the original three movies(not the Lego movies). We watched the first one over Thanksgiving and I had promised him that we would watch the next two sometime in the next year. This only momentarily satisfied the child and I began to make a plan for securing the next two movies from a friend of ours.
Once the movies arrived at the house, the constant flow of Star Wars questions began. No matter how many times I responded with "you are going to have to wait and watch the movies," the questions did not cease. We actually had to stop "The Empire Strikes Back" mid-movie because of the onslaught of questions. We promised to resume the movie when he could relax and watch without asking questions every three seconds. He missed the fact that Yoda died in "Return of the Jedi" because of the constant flow of questions.
Now the movies have been watched(quickly because I couldn't handle the questions from sun up to sun down). Hopefully the next three will be much more enjoyable because he knows how the story ends. Maybe I should send him to someone else's house for the next movie......
