Question for those of use who have kids.

[vortextwist]

How old were they when you subjected them to your star wars obsession?

My son 2 yrs and my daughter 4 yrs. They already can't leave my sabers alone. In the process of making and designing them one of their own.

Hm... just this evening I had picked up an action figure that I'd found laying around the house and was showing it to my 3 mo. old and asking her whether she could say "Qui-Gon".... :lol:

Well, my parents showed me the OT when I was about 6 1/2. I was just barely old enough to understand the story pretty well.

I'd recommend starting with the OT. It helps to start off with Luke, as even when I was six I remember sympathizing with him and thinking to myself "wow! that's exactly what I would've said right there!" I really don't think I would've gotten into it as much if the prequels had been out and I had started with them instead.

I also know a little 4-yr-old who saw the movies when he was 3. Unfortunately, he had some problems with watching it so young. At Vader's death scene, his mom told him that Vader "just went to sleep". Being the smart kid he is, he figured out the truth pretty fast, and the next time his Aunt JuJu took a nap, he freaked out and started crying "My JuJu died!!"
Now that that's over, however, he likes the OT the most, actually. He's as big of a Luke fan as I am.

I have 2 boys, 4 and 20months,
My 4 year old, for his birthday, requested a jedi suit that i made last august. Needle, thread and scissors... i dont have a sewing machine. My youngest, who at that point was 16 months old had given me several bruises on the shins from when he played with my sabers. To this day if he sees them he must play and they both make the sounds themselves as i didnt put any sound electronics in the sabers i have.
Mostly kids are hilarious and fun to play with. One of my favorite qoutes i saw in a doctors office
"kids are fun to watch, please watch yours"

[Lord Maul]

hehe,
super T, in my dentist's office there is a sign that says "i only golf on days that end in Y" :lol:

[james3]

My kids were pretty much born in to it. They would most likely think a kid who has never seen Star Wars would be strange.

[supertrogdor]

i find that i generally golf on days that end in ...day
but that is just me

[Tenric Starkindler]

let me see........
my 2 1/2year old daughter has been humming the Imperial Death March and been able to recognize the words "Star Wars" since she was about 18 months old.my older kids each have their own Jedi Belt complete with pouch and food capsules......and will soon have their own TCSS MHS sabers if I can get the cash together.

[vortextwist]

That is awsome guys. I just got my MHS saber completed today and they already fight to see who is gonna play with it. I too hope to make them their own saber. I have a couple of the old led blades that I'm using for them. I added wires to em and hot glued the ends so the strip would not fall out.

[Jedi-Loreen]

Beyond 2 years old, parents don't need to use months at their kid's ages.

Your daughter is 2, Tenric, ok? :roll:

:P

[SilentBob501]

Thank you J-Lo. I wasnt gonna say anything, but I must agree.

A BIG difference. Anyone who says otherwise should just come to accept that they are our kids and we will dote on them all we like, how we like. One further, anyone who has endured the hell that is having your kid in the hospital, or, Heaven help them, NICU(speaking from experience) has all the more right to emphasize months, and weeks if they want.

[james3]

Yeah, anyone that don't have kids just ain't gonna understand that there are major differences in those first years.

my little one at 3 years is much more advanced then when she was at 2 1/2.

[vortextwist]

Ya my 4 year old thinks she is 16 already.

[Jedi-Loreen]

I guess I don't care that much, because I don't have any, and never will.

[Jedi Belinos]

it seems my 6 year old learns more ways that daddy is wrong every day, or at least more ways that she thinks she is right. (I'm leaning toward the second one myself but I could be wrong)

[james3]

Good one JB. My middle one is like that too. She will be 5 here soon and calls me out on stuff all the time.

[Ryma Mara]

I prolly wont have kids myself but after helping take care of my brothers and sisters kids I got a clue.
