So, my 3.5 year old WC was watching a little TV before bed this past weekend, and the Spike Channel was airing Empire Strikes Back. So, I flipped it on and didn't say much about it to my daughter. I wanted to sit back and see how she gauged the movie without me saying much. So, the first thing she says is "Daddy, I don't like this" (she says this to almost anything that isn't Curious George/Sesame Street related), and I simply said, "Well, we are going to leave this on for a little bit".
After about 5 minutes she starts asking me questions, like: "Are those the bad guys?" (Referring to a scene on a Star Destroyer), "Is she a space princess?" (talking about Leia while still on Hoth, cause WC loves princesses) and "Is he going to get away from the Snow Monster?" (obvious).
Then after 20 minutes she is jumping up and down in excitement as the Falcon is cruising through the asteroid belt. She knows all the main characters names already (and yeah, she thought I was a :wookiee:, smart kid) and is calling it the "astronaut movie".
So, now when WW works at night, and after the WT (Wook Twins) are put to bed, WC and I watch some of the astronaut movies. WC has gotten so into them that she and WW made a Chewie and a Leia mask, not to mention Chewie and Leia snack buddies. We have gotten through all of IV and V, we are due to watch VI (with WW, cause she loves Ewoks) Saturday night. Not to mention she wants to be an astronaut when she grows up, yeah, I love that kid.
So, what was your first time like seeing a SW movie?
P.S. I posted this here, because I do not think there is anywhere else I can present this little nugget of my life that would be so understood.
