Amara loves playing Star Wars. Amara loves pretty much anything Star Wars. She gets this from her Dad. She knows all the movies by heart and is also a huge fan of the Clone Wars – which for those of you who aren’t aware is a cartoon version and very well done.
Grandma Kc is not a big fan of Star Wars. I liked the movies and I have seen all of them at least once. Amara loves to bring movies over to watch when she spends the night and she made it her “goal” to educate Grandma on all of the different characters. I am forever getting myself in trouble when we “play” Star Wars because I forget what you call the Storm Troopers – I’m learning! And did you know there are 3 different Padmé Amidalas?
The other day Amara asked me if I wanted to play Star Wars – I said no, not really. She wanted to know why I didn’t want to and I told her I really didn’t know I just don’t like playing Star Wars and she turns to me and says:
“I think I’ve figured out why you don’t ‘ like playing Star Wars. It’s because I always make you play Darth Vader and you don’t like being the bad guy. SO – you can be Princess Leia (this meant putting the hair in Cinnamon Buns) and Grandpa can be Darth Vader.”
And so the games continue…

Lol, that’s such logical reasoning 😉

A very smart girl. She may not have reasoned “correctly”, but she obviously gave it some thought and worked out a solution that she thought would make everyone happy. Loving and smart!
That’s a cute memory! Is Amara still into Star Wars two years later?
Two years later and yes, she still loves Star Wars and in fact I will do a new post about it this week!
I actually like being Darth Vader, except I suspect the real Darth doesn’t get bossed around so much.
ha ha ha your stuff cracks me UP!
Kids things say….this reminds me that when swimming the other day, Brent who is not quite two with a limited vocabulary, told me that his teeth were wiggling
I have similar experiences with Our Little Princess educating me about Star Was and Lord of the Rings. I get all the characters mixed up and can’t remember all their names. She gives me a refresher course. It worries me that she can do that at 3 years old. I’m afraid she’s going to be way to smart for me.
We went to a Star Wars party a few weeks ago. I was Princess Leia and Grandpa was Darth Vader. Our hosts knew all the words and songs by heart. It was billed as a Star Wars sing-along! Great fun.
