Sarlacs Suck

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been watching the original Star Wars trilogy with the kids. Sam saw it a long time ago but he doesn’t remember very much of it and this is Julia’s first time through.

Tonight we did part of ‘Return of the Jedi’ although I bitterly resent the movie because it begins with the death of Boba Fett, the coolest character in the Star Wars storyline.

As we were heading off to brush teeth before bed, Julia said to me: “Hey dad, pretend you’re an ewok and I’m, no wait, pretend I’m an ewok and you’re Princess Leia.”

“Yeah, like that’s ever gonna happen.”

And then Sam said “Hey dad, pretend you’re Boba Fett and I’m a blind guy with a stick.”

When he died, Boba died badly . . . screaming like a little girl.
