My kids have recently become Star Wars fanatics. It all started with the Wii Lego Star Wars game they got me for my birthday. My wife and I finished the game, after spending many late nights playing it after we put the kids to bed. The kids also recently finished the storyline of the game, enlisting our help in some of the tricky places.
While playing, some of the storyline didn't make sense to them. So I told them the stories of the movies as we played. Of course that brought on discussion of the movies and they decided they wanted to watch them. I own episodes 3,5, and 6 digitally remastered on vhs. I never bought any of the Episodes 1, 2, or 3, but discovered episode 2 still in its shrinkwrap in the DVD cabinet. Somebody must have given it to us.
My 5 yr old has watched 4, 5 , and 6 countless times now. Possibly she has watched them more than me. She has also watched episode 2 a couple of times. she wants to watch 1 and 3, however I have an anti Jar Jar bias, so I'm not really determined to go out and buy it. 3 was pretty dark, and I'm not sure a 5 yr old should watch it, so its also not on my shopping list.
So I came across this youtube video which is pretty cute. She's younger than my girls, but she seems to have still gotten the gist of the movie.
