lightsabers smash & crackle...

While playing Lego Star Wars II, the 4yo and 6yo argue again...

Lam: Hey, it's Darth Maul!

Mini: No, that's Darth Sidious.

Lam: Darth Maul.

Mini: Sidious.

Me: Actually, that's Darth Vader.

Lam: Oh.

Mini: *looking doubtful* Vader?

  1. lol! Last night (don't know why it popped into my head last night) I was going to change my FB status to "...really needs to rent the "first" three StarWars movies, and will be in a cold, cold grave before she removes the air-quotes" Maybe I'll do it tonight.

    There is no other Darth (maybe if I'd seen the "first" ones, I'd be more accepting, but here we are)

    Agreed, girlfriend! :)
    I think the *only* way it should be watched is 4-5-6-1-2-3. I feel bad for our kids who will never know the pleasure of having experienced them in that order.

  3. That's how Mini C-Flo is going to be schooled in the ways of Star Wars: 4-5-6-1-2-3. It's the ONLY way to go! :)

  4. Actually, I think the correct way to introduce Star Wars movies to offspring is to hand-edit certain movies to remove any and all appearances of Jar Jar. And of the Ewoks.

    Actually, I think someone created a Jar Jar-free version of the movie ---

    I don't know where to get it, though.

  6. Boba Fett was my favourite shadow character. He was so mysterious & such a renegade... dreamy...

    I know that doesn't relate to anything, but I don't have a blog to jot down my random thoughts, so I just use yours...

    I need to get me one of those!!! I'll keep my eyes peeled for that. Thanks for letting me know about it.
    Unfortunately, the presence of Jar-Jar is essential at some point as he is the one who hands complete control of the Republic to Palpatine. He's such a moron.

    @caryn -
    goodness, that's cool! looked like such fun! okay, I want one of those :)

    @harmzie -
    so, it's the dark mysterious dudes you like, eh? makes sense from your freebie standpoint... not from the mr. harmzie standpoint tho... not quite dark and mysterious, that one! :)

    you are welcome to blah-blah on my blog-blog... you should twitter too! mini-blogging at its finest :)

  8. Oh he's mysterious, baby. Maybe not so often in the *dark* & mysterious way. Sometimes I think more in the Scooby Doo way... but then other times... Did I tell you about the surprise anniversary getaway? (I mean, not so much the *actual* getaway, I'll spare you those details :-P) -- very mysterious was he. For two weeks before! Ok, not so much the dark.

    No, you never did tell me about the anniversary getaway surprise! Do tell... yes, definitely not the play-by-play, but everything else would be appreciated. :)
    does sound very mysterious... with a touch of sneaky... you so lucky! :)
