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

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

I swear to the spaghetti monster, what is it with these movies? They just have such an effect on us when we're kids.

He's thinking, "But - that means I'm going to get my hand cut off for kissing my sister!"

Ah, if life were only moments, even now and then a bad one. But if life were only moments, then you'd never know you had one.

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

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

I like the little girl's expression because she's like "HAHAHAHA! I KNEW IT! HAHAHAAH!"

Were you guys making the same face while watching the kid? I caught myself doing it.

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.

I saw this in the theater and I didn't believe Darth Vader. I thought he was lying.

It kind of pisses me off that I had this reaction because I didn't have that shocking reveal moment. It was more of a "yeah, right, liar." And then, the couple year wait while I figured it would be revealed in RotJ that he was lying and then: oh. well. I guess he wasn't lying. huh.

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

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.

Just reminds me of the reality that ESB was 100 times better than any of the prequels.

I often wish I could forget films so that I could enjoy watching them for the first time over again.

And this is why we ended up with little teddy bears in ROTJ instead of bad-ass wookies. Too many parents freaked out about how "dark" ESB was and sent him hate mail.

Alright goddamit I'll say it - while it provides a nice memory of the first time we understood the Luke/Darth family connection, this looked totally staged to me.

Maybe he reacted like that the first time, and Dad grabbed the camera and they did it again, but I just don't buy it as the genuine article.

There, I feel better now.

I had this scene spoiled for me by some idiot kid. One of the many reasons I hated most other little kids when I was a little kid.

I seriously envy these kids Moments such as this one seem to be so far and few in between in modern fiction these days, especially when one is so desensitized from the internet and popular culture as probably any one of us is.

am i the only one who thinks this is a setup? both kids looking to the camera just after the line like "now daddy?".

aaahhh the internets has made me a sad, sad man.

Cynicism is a cancer.
