Reply #153: My 5 year old and his 3 younger brothers watch it, of course I have to explain Han shot first....

There are a lot of things out there worse then having a 5 year old ask about Star Wars, a couple of months ago my 5 year old son told one of his brothers he had an STD, picked that up from school I guess or else my 3 year old and I need to talk about the women he is dating.

From my point of view Star Wars isn't that bad, you will find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view...

I watch it with them and 'edit' it as we watch to avoid more of the questionable areas. It is one of the strangest movies they just seem drawn to it right from the start. I also use it as a lesson about anger, if they are mean to us or their brothers they will turn to the darkside and have to wear a metal suit and those suits really chafe!

For Christmas we are getting them lightsabers and blasters so I guess we will have our own Jedi temple at our house.

Edit to add that I saw the first film in a theater when I was 5/6.
