Right now as I type, the kids and The Hubby are watching Star Wars. Scott has decided that it is really important to start introducing the entire series to our offspring so that they can come to love it as much as he does. I find it convenient that this revelation comes on the heals of getting a new TV.
Whatever the reason is, I am fine with it. I don't really have a love for Episodes 1-6 (I know, I am weird. I also don't care for Lord of the Rings either), so I get to zone out for a little while. Actually for a long while, since there are SIX EPISODES!
Good Grief.
Anyway, Scott is making them watch them in a certain order as well. I think they are going to do good just to follow along through the first movie. Tying them altogether, may take a force all of it's own.
What I can't stop laughing at is the interaction going on between the three of them. First of all, Scott is watching this movie like its the first time he's ever seen it. Telling the kids to, "Quiet down," and then repeating the lines to show off his memorization skills. I told him that he was going to have to do a narration of sorts through the movie to A) keep their interest, and B) to help them understand what was going on. That means they are going to ask questions, and he is going to have to talk during his movie. Secondly, and on a more precious note, they are all piled up on one chair. Forget the fact that we have a love seat and a sofa in that same room. They are all piled on top of each other in one chair (sigh). Lastly, and what I find the funniest, is The Little Man's recollection of all the names in the movie. He has called Darth Vader: Black Vader, Blacky, Dark Bader, and of course Mean Guy. Chewbacca has been: Chewy, Chew HooHoo, and Chew Caca just to name a few.
Scott corrects him every single time, yet the next time he has a question concerning those characters, or one of those characters enters the scene, he's all, "Hey! There's Chew Hoo Caca, Daddy!" and then Scott's all, "Pax, buddy, its CHEWBACCA". Then Pax comes back with, "I know, Daddy, that's what I said, It's Choo Choo Vaca!" Small pause then, "Daddy? When is Black Bader coming on?"
They may see this marathon of movies as an Adventure Series. I think its more of a comedy.

and to confuse you even more, they have changed the name of the original 2nd but now 5th one. lance still has rubbermaid bins (yes, there are multiple) of his still-in-the-box star wars figures. he says they are really worth something these days...
