Writing over at StarWars.com, Bryan Young gives us an insight into the joys of being a Star Wars Dad and sharing that love of the saga with your kids.
Star Wars has always been about parents and children, different generations trying to do better than the last. Star Wars kept me on a path where I wanted to be a better father for my kids. And my love of the saga is such that I want to share it with my kids, along with all of the lessons I’ve learned from my failures over the years. I mean, that’s what The Last Jedi is all about right? Maybe that’s why it resonated so strongly with me.
But sharing your passion with your kids is tricky, right? At what point are you forcing your love of a thing onto them? My eldest has definitely had Star Wars thrust on him in some way, whether he likes it or not. His name is Anakin. It says so on his driver’s license, too. Handing his ID over always ends in, “Really? That’s your name? That’s so cool.”
