Good thing we bought those lightsabers for the kids at Christmas time. Of course, we forgot about them and gave them to the kids one day when they were bored....
Luke's Friend (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
Anakin's Master (also Obi-Wan, I am not really sure if he realizes that Luke's friend and Anakin's master are the same person or not. One of them is MUCH older than the other you know)
C3peedo (or 3peedo for short)
D2D2 (Only Aeli says this, Justin knows it is R2D2)
Dark Vader
Dark Maul
General Window
Count Dooku
Luke and Anakin are the force, so they can move stuff
Anakin is good, the Vader SUIT is bad but he is good at the end.
Justin doesn't like to watch A New Hope because Dark Vader kills Luke's Friend. He likes to watch the one with Anakin and Anakin's master (Attack of the Clones). He has to wait until he is older to watch episode 3 because there is lots of scary fighting in it. Although, he insists that we could just skip the scary parts so he could watch it.
The lightsabers we bought for the kids are Red and Blue, and whether you are Sith or Jedi (when dueling) depends on the color light saber you are wielding and which movie Justin has most recently watched. Mostly he likes to use both if he can get away with it so that he can be like General grievous or the white-girl (Clone Wars Sith chick).
The movie watching progression went this way:
Clone Wars- since they are animated we let him watch them.
A New Hope- this is pretty tame and we skipped any questionable scenes.
Empire Strikes Back- Don't know how he talked Ted into this one. I came into the room and it was on.
We were going to stop at this point and leave well enough alone, but Justin was really upset that Dark Vader hadn't died yet. He really wanted some resolution to the story. He was actually pretty upset about the whole thing so we decided to give the kid some resolution and let him watch Return of the Jedi (we skipped the Rancor scene at Jabba's palace).
He felt much better about the whole thing and the next day requested to watch A New Hope again but asked if we could skip the part where Dark Vader kills Luke's Friend. After that he just wanted to watch Empire.
Somehow after that he ended up watching Episodes I and II.
And now you know the REST of the story....

Oh, man! These kids are going to have so much fun when they get together this summer! Harrison and Chloe are nonstop with the Star Wars. He's been making lightsabers with duplos until his mean mommy gets him a real one. Maybe we'll have to surprise them with weapons once we get to our new house so he can have a clone war with his cousins.
That would be awesome! Justin would love that. We will be sure to bring ours along. :) Justin uses all sorts of things when he needs a second lightsaber and Aeli won't give up hers. There are definitely going to have a good time. I think that Aeli will be excited to see some girls too.
I'm getting Emmi all hyped up for St. Louis this week. She's out of the Star Wars loop, but she loves a story. Hmmm....that gives me an idea. I better go over your movie order again. So many stories, so little time! :D
