Reply #123: Star Wars is actually the age old hero's journey of mythology

It teaches children about the hero's journey and how good overcomes evil.

Also, you may let them watch it but with you so you can be sure to explain it's all 'pretent'.

It's best for your children to learn about evil while being in your protective arms. Much better than being ignorant of it only to be exposed to it in a harsh way.

It took me years to let my son see Jaws, but when I finally let him see it I made sure he understood it was all pretend and that it wasn't real. I also had him see it again so he knew what was coming AND that is was all pretend. It worked. My son is now almost 40 years old and still sensitive and gentle.
