Good advice on Star Wars for parents

Last weekend I came across an excellent video full of good advice on Star Wars for parents (well, for dads but it applies to anyone raising a child) which I wanted to post.

The Better Half and I have discussed this at length, actually, and way before she got pregnant. Between us we have (I think) maybe four or five copies of the original trilogy and one of the new – and that’s without the brand-spanking new Star Wars blu ray set which I’m coveting but waiting until the price drops at Thanksgiving or Christmas or something.

We both agree that we’ll be showing Jack the original trilogy first, then the prequels. I’m not as big a hater of the prequels as many I know – and even once defended Jar Jar Binks by pointing out the potential that he had. I also think that the prequels play well to young kids – and that alone makes them worth showing.

What I don’t want to do, however, is deprive Jack of this moment:

Because that right there is pretty much exactly what I did about 30 years ago…
