First of all, I also named my son Luke (after Luke skywalker), and then brought him up as a sci-fi, comic book, fantasy kid but from what I'm seeing, it may have backfired on me as Anime is slowly creeping in from his friends. It's like I have no control any more.
He's now ten, and although he still likes all the fanboy stuff I introduced him to, he's now expanding into stuff I know nothing about. First Bakugan, then Yu-Gi-oh, Pokemon and now something else that I don't know anything about(un-named because I don't know the name.
I think I've created a monster

I never saw any of these until I was a grown ass man, so I don't have any fond childhood memories of them, but I'm quite eager, if I'm being honest, to let my boy watch them when he's old enough. I'm planning on manipulating him into a sci-fi, comic book geek as he grows up.
(I just hope he doesn't find this comment when he's older and discover what I've done to him.)
P.S. The kid's dad must really be a Star Wars geek to have named is son Luke.



Sounds to me like it's time for you to start learning from him. That's the only way to level the playing field.

I've never watched much anime, but I've been trying to get into it recently in preparation for my son's future geekdom.

He's thinking, "But--that means he kissed his sister!"


No, everybody knows that leia kissed first .... Damn I hate this nerd side of the brain.

He'd have to wait until ROTJ for that.>>

Thanks, Sarzy!

Kudos to this kid's parents for letting him watch the movies the right way and not wasting his time with the prequels. *quality

If Jar Jar could have been done with an incomprehensible language with subtitles then it might have been consistant with the rest of the original star wars films--but consistency wasn't what Georgey was going for. As it stands I still haven't watched the Star Wars Episode Podracer: The CG/Greenscreen Strikes Back! (And I never intend to*.)




*I'm running on the assumption that if you've seen Weird Al's American Pie cover video, and a few other random internet clips, you don't need to sit through episode 1.

I reckon when it was only A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, you had a contest. But today? Hmm.

Neat, but you can't polish a turd.


I hate to say this Mr. Mushroom, but mythbusters have actually proven that you can make turds shine!

but on topic, you are right, it seems awkward for Lucasarts to go and try to fix this scene, but at least it is more credible than the Episode 1 puppet that was actually a downgrade from the Empire strikes back yoda...
