\nWe’ve had a lot of fun (and it has helped distract me a lot) watching all six movies over the past week or two. IV, V and VI are good campy fun, and I, II, and III are technical marvels. Just remember that these are just some movies, nothing more. While a bit intense for the kids at times (Wrenny did not want to watch at all, and I fast-forwarded through the rougher spots with Reiley), Episode III, in spite of Hayden Christensen’s strenuous efforts, turns out to be quite an epic tragedy, if you sit back and give it a chance. <\/p>\n

While I’m here, my 2 cents: if you are annoyed by Jar Jar, how come you have somehow neglected to pay attention, over decades, to how truly annoying C-3PO is? If you have your own personal list of “inaccuracies”, get over it – it’s proof of your secret yearning for it to all be true and good – and you’ll never compete with the seriously get-a-life-day geeks that do things like document every Star Wars minutia into canon-levels<\/a> or never cease to talk about it<\/a>. Wicked sick.<\/p>\n

OK, enough, time to put the beaten horse back in the stable for another generation. Or at least until next Halloween. We have plans. And just for the record, Wren will NOT be dressing up as a princess, “bleh”, she says. :><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
