While looking for something I’d hoped I’d written down (I hadn’t) I came across these drawings, done by my Star Wars fan son, of some of his favourite Star Wars characters, in my notebook. While it is annoying that I can’t even have a piece of paper to myself anymore, as moderately nerdy Star Wars parents we think we’ve done a pretty good job of passing on the Star Wars gene.

This thread is to celebrate all things Star Wars. Memories, favourite scenes, did Greedo shoot first?
Princess Leia had me at:
Fancrush!
Much as I writhed in delight as a child when I saw that someone had graffitied over a sign saying “Police Aerial Patrol” “Pigs in spaaaaaaaaaaace!”, I still get a kick out of hearing/reading/saying ‘May the fourth be with you’.
I was a latecomer to Star Wars, I love Princess Leia, and somewhere at the Woodford Festival is the paver I carved with “Luminous beings are we”.
Greedo is innocent!
And Clone Wars Season 4 starts on ABC3 tonight at 7:00pm. Yay!
