Star Wars for 3 year olds

Last week I blogged about introducing “Star Wars” to my kids.  Today Deb  found this little gem on you tube.  Good stuff.

Introducing My Kids to “Star Wars”

Last week I introduced “Star Wars” to my kids. They really seemed to like it despite the fact that they didn’t understand a lot of the political elements of it. The interesting thing is watching them see it through eyes that have never seen episode 4,5 and 6. We started with Episode 1. Of course the their favorite character was Anakin. The funny thing is that they keep asking my when Darth Vader is coming. It is interesting to watch them process it without knowing Anakin’s fate. So we are at Episode 3, which is rated PG 13. I am trying to figure out out to navigate that for my young kids.

I heard this story on NPR today. “Juno”, not for teens?

What I liked about many  of the interviews is that parents are using the movie to start conversations about teenage pregnancy, which I think is a good thing.
