Return of the Jedi was on the other week. I let Malibu watch the start, thinking she'd want to go to bed within half an hour, but she was hooked, stayed up to watch the whole thing.

I know I should have let her watch them in the right order, but never mind.

As the film went on she really got into it.

The final scene with the Emperor shooting lighting at Luke, she was chanting "Let him go, let him go" at the screen.

When Vader picked the Emperor up and threw him over, she exclaimed "He's a good one now!"

So since then she's seen all of the original trilogy, and The Phantom Menace.

RotJ is still her favourite, probably because it's action all the way through, and she likes the Ewoks.

It's really cool though, as she knows some of the character names now, so she talks about Luke Skywalker, and Jabba, but can't say Lando Calrissian very well, and says Wicket Double-Wocket instead of Wicket W, Warrick. (I had that toy). And she refers to Yoda as the one with rabbit-ears.

It's amazing, the appeal of these movies though. George Lucas knew how to get all ages watching these movies. Fantastic, really fantastic.

One of the best things I've discovered about being a father is showing things yo uenjoy, and finding that they like them too.

Malibu's imaginary friends, for instance, are Mario and Luigi, and they hunt ghosts together.

I just think she's been watching you playing games too much!

You've drained her young fragile mind!

Ben, you are probably corrupting the porr girl's mind. :-)
If she picks up a stick, paints it red and starts hitting you with it, I will laugh.

I had only seen half of The Empire Strikes Back and all of Return of the Jedi before ITV started showing them recently. I had been trying for years to see the rest.

Excellent, I used to watch the star wars films all the time when I was about 2-3. Loved them to bits.

This year when I was on holiday my girlfriends youngest cousin who is 4 would go on about how much he loved them so some days we sat and watched through them and he would say "Oh this bit is the best" every so often.
Reminded me of what I was like.

Oh and malibu has good taste, RofJ is the best so one.

I saw them in order when my brother got video trilogy for Christmas ages ago.

Good films

Han Solo was and still is my favourite, mainly because he was Indiana Jones to me when I watched it :)

My dad got me Return Of The Jedi when I was really young, and I watched it and loved it. Then I saw Star Wars and then Empire Strikes Back. The whole "is Darth Vader his father?" thing was totally lost on me, as I saw ROTJ first, like your kid, but that didn't take anything away from the films

Just hope she doesn't grow up a nerd like me- I mean, like, um... Stryke
