My son Parker is a Star Wars fanatic.

For what it’s worth, seeing the first Star Wars movie as a seven year-old is one of my defining moments. It was the most unforgettable movie memory I’ll ever have. Nothing can rival it.

So before bed, Parker handed me a two-page quiz on Star Wars that he made up tonight Then I tucked him into bed after promising to take the quiz.

About fifteen minutes later he came downstairs and said, “Dad, Star Wars is like the Bible. Darth Sidious is like the Devil. He disguises himself as Lord Palpatine. Yoda is like Jesus. And there are twelve Jedi masters in the Jedi council. And Anakin is like Judas. He goes over to the dark side.”

Then he said, “I think about Star Wars too much.” He smiled And went back to bed.

I might just have Parker preach one of the God @ the Box Office messages this year

Footnote.

Here’s a little Star Wars trivia of my own. One of my favorite songs is set to the Star Wars anthem. Here are the lyrics:

Star Wars
Nothing But Star Wars
If they Should Bar Wars
Let Star Wars Stay

It’s an SNL classic! I sing it all the time!
