Three weeks ago, Thompson saw his first Star Wars movie. We figured he should see them in the same order we grew up seeing them, so we started with the original Star Wars, followed by The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. And this past weekend, he watched The Phantom Menace (Episode I).As you can guess...he's hooked and "Star Wars" has fast become one of his favorite playtime activities. We are most amazed at how, having only seen each movie once (and sometimes twice), he remembers and recalls characters, scenes and movie lines (just like his father!). The Freemans had a Darth Vader mask and two light sabers that they have passed down and he uses his creative talents to transform his tinkertoys into the appropriate colored light sabers depending on which character he is pretending to be. He also used his money to purchase his first action figure. Kristine and Anna each bought him one as well figuring you need at least two, one good guy and one bad guy, to play...right? So, he's now got a storm trooper, Hans Solo and Princess Lea, and is anxious to add more.
