Star Wars thru Pre-K Eyes
My husband and I have been introducing our 4 year old to Star Wars.
We were apprehensive as she may have been too young for 1) the story line and 2) the violence.
It turns out she is ok with both. She is pretty good at leaving movie and TV events in the make believe realm.
In Empire, when we got to the part where Han was frozen, she got really quiet. She asked what happened to him. We told her that Vader froze him, but that he was still alive. He just couldn’t move. She tells us she’s really sad.
Then, when Vader reveals to Luke that he was Luke’s father, she repeated what Vader said and told us that can’t be right, that Vader is the bad guy and couldn’t be Luke’s father.
We’ll be watching Return of the Jedi this weekend. We’ll see how she reacts to the twists.
