Why do I get the feeling that this posting will cause the banhammer to come out of its case?

"dont talk back to dark vader, he'll get ya" lol

izim1

That was an overload of cuteness.

I don't agree with showing Star Wars to a three year old, but then I'm not her dad.

TC2COOL

LMAO, brilliant!!
future heartbreaker idd =P

DaWickedBird

Absolutely adorable.

Bweetza

@slingblade: Very few people actually get TO that level of education, let alone surpass her.

zenpoet

She is SO adorable.
If she were to sing an Apple commercial it might sound like this...

ANoel

Haha, shes a cutie. I think shes knows the timeline better than I do.

Michai

Maybe she could do Silence of the Lambs next.
It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
That would be priceless.....

jdhuck

So cute! I love that she refers to the target droid as a pokeball.

FLegion

seems pretty idiotic to make your 3 years old daughter watch episode 4...and post it on youtube...

Manve

gezz it wasn't the sand people it was the Jawas that sold the droids, every one knows that

Nexcidia

Too funny.

They should have gotten her to do the prequels. Then they would have had better dialogue.

EdgesRazor

I'm not sure why we rush to sexualize a three year old.

She's adorable though, and definitely should be in a Welch's commercial or something. Love the bit about Darth Vadar.

@Mobius: I found it more entertaining and compelling than Episode IV.And I turned it off after about 10 seconds.

Step666

I found her summary more compelling and entertaining than Episode 1.

Mobius

That was pretty funny.

CarbonatedWater

@Magiksreal: lol

DaWickedBird

george lucas ain't got shit on this kid

discounteggroll

@Lloyd: Or better yet "There will be Blood".

We'd get to hear her say "I drink your milkshake"

Lloyd

BTW, I will never again refer to "Obi Kenobi" as Obi-Wan

Magiksreal

In about 15 years her father's hair will be prematurely SHOCK WHITE and he'll be a "gun hobbyist" or "collector"

Seriously, somewhere a 3-year old geek boy just got a tingly feeling all over.... there is a great disturbance in the force...

Magiksreal

Awwww. I want a sequel where she explains "No Country for Old Men". THAT WOULD BE SO CUTE!

Lloyd

"blowed up" "pokey ball thing"

Ahh. Kids are so innocent. Now imagine if the human race stayed that way and never got more educated. So peaceful.

slingblade

Darth Vader, he'll get-cha!

jibbly

Yeah, she really is cute... but it seems a little creepy of the parents (or whoever is responsible) to force star wars on her. IMHO, it's a little inappropriate for a girl her age to be that into ANY sort of media.
What ever happened to going outside to play?

Irregular_Joe

That kid is awesome! She should get an Oscar for Best Summarization.

shorty63136

Monday starting off good. Thanks for the great clip. She's adorable.

halfro

Dear Lord, what a cute child.

PAgent

She's a better writer than Lucas.

@Mobius:
the white space to the right side of the comments is more entertaining that Episode 1…[and 2 and 3[

Thank Heaven for little girls.....

There are several robot garage sales around where I live too!

naokigraphics

Wow. That was wonderful. Having a 4 year old, 7 year old, and 11 year old....Cuteness is rare.

faabshaam

@froggy: because when I was that age I wasn't getting indoctrinated by star wars, I was getting indoctrinated by Jesus.

Fierock

My kid has this one beat. He's 3-1/2 and knows the entire storyline to the entire saga. It helps that I watch it with him and tell him the names of characters and if they are good and bad. You just don't plop your child in front of a movie like that with out helping them out storyline wise.

His favorite t-shirt has Darth Vader pointing that says "The Spawn of Evil" on it.

OldCrow

My three year old son is hooked on lost. every night when jeopardy is on he asks if lost is next and then explains the episode from last week. It kinda scares me how much he knows about shooting people and them dying but he loves the show. Maybe Ill have to let him watch starwars and see what he says.

theweerdough

@froggy: It's not really the subject matter that disturbs me... I just don't think it's healthy to expose a toddler of such a young age to a lot of movies or tv shows, in general. Maybe if she read the books instead, I wouldn't complain. =P

But to each his own, I suppose.

Irregular_Joe

Outstanding. My 4 year old-boy might have hope yet. he is a die-hard R2 fan, as he has the robot that follows him around, spins, dances, and is also scared of Vader.

Though, If Thomas the Train, instead of Jar-jar were in I-III, the 4 y/o, and the whole world might have found them palatable.

Sure it's cute and all. Am I the only one that knows that it was the Jawas who took R2D2 and the shiny guy?

She said it was the Sandpeople!!!

What's next? Is she going to tell us that Chewbacca is from Endor?

Maybe Luke flies the Millenium Falcon in this little girls crazy parallel universe too.

se7a7n7

@Irregular_Joe: what's wrong with showing star wars to a 3 year old? it's like any other fairy tale - good guy/bad guy, little bit of danger, good buy wins. Empire strikes back might be a little too dark for someone very young, but even that one...

froggy

@wezelboy: umm...... nevermind...

homerjay

@wezelboy:

*blink* *blink* I think my brain just cramped from the vortex of wrong that just opened up...

Magiksreal

My two year old boy LOVES star wars. He likes to run around nekkid yelling "I'm Princess Leia!"

It was also adorable when he put on his mean face and yelled "I am your father!"

Way too cute.

wezelboy

Wait a minute.... not to be TOO careful and cynical but...
did anyone administer her a Voight Kampf test?

ANoel

I don't think three yars old is soon enough to introduce your kid to Star Wars, although I'd probably start with some Tolkien: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit". There. Kid's forever ruined, just like daddy.

@MIKEAWESOME:
Don't encourage me...I have children and I'm not afraid to post them.

@DWD: Hahahaha

That was amazing.

Great post. Giz.

MIKEAWESOME

I'll have what she's having...

homerjay

Someone needs to get me her dad's info. My 5-year-old will want to marry her. ;-]

BigDanInTX

the shiny robot always worries. LOL

this is the best thing I have seen all day

Lavallee017

@weatherman:
I came here to say that she should be in a Welch's commercial.

suburbancowboy

Star Wars was the first movie I saw in theaters, and I was 3 years old when it came out in 1977. My parents, both academics, took me because they had read NO reviews of it and assumed it was going to be a Carl Sagan/NOVA-esque studious treatment of extra terrestrial science. Short story: I screamed in fear through the entire movie, and was traumatized for weeks after. I asked them, years later, if the "Wars" part of the title shouldn't have given them a hint or two that there might be violence involved...

Dave J.

I think she just did my taxes.

Hey I'm not bitching, I came out 5 Large ahead of the game, but [OY!] for an hour and a half it sounded very much like that.

strider_mt2k

@weatherman and suburbancowboy: They've brainwashed us clearly, cause that was my first thought too. "Gotta be Welch's in that cup."

"OhBeee Kenobeee thinks Welch's is Yumeee in his tumeee!"

92BuickLeSabre

R2 and the Shiney Guy... i'm still laughing Cute Kid!

BigViper

Right for all the people who are saying she was forced to watch the film, and that she is way to young are complete fools. In the UK Star Wars IV was given a U rating which means for anyone, of any age, not a PG where a parent should be with children under 7 but a U meaning that a child under 7 could watch it alone if they were aloud to. And the guy would said he screamed all the way through Star Wars in '77, i dont believe you, as your parents would have taken you out and smacked you lol. So all you Star Wars haters can just shut up!!!

JBreakwell

Too good!

apeguero

@Dave J.: wow...really? because i was also 3, and saw it when it first came out, with my parents. and i had an Uncle Scrooge PEZ dispenser, and i remember happily eating PEZ, and being completely in awe of the giant spaceships on the screen. not to mention the light sabers. and robots.

"I screamed in fear through the entire movie, and was traumatized for weeks after."

i'm sorry, but man, what did your parents do to you...?

tr

Pokeball! ROFL
That was interesting... but I wonder if the "it's an exciting movie" part was her own opinnion, or the fanatic Star Wars fanboy daddy's opinnion. :P

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

exploiting your kids to gain internet fame...congrats mom and dad.

Roopy

I dont trust the government or any other agency to raise my child. They dont care- it's just another tax payer to them.

I do trust psychologist and child development specialist.

jc2k

The only thing my 3 yr old knows by heart is the theme song to Little Einstiens & Spongebob Squarepants.

I dont think babies should be subjected to adult TV while their brains are so fragile & still developing. I suppose you leave the TV/sound on during commercials too? tsk. tsk.

Yes, I am passing judgment. This is more evidence that people should be screened or at least required to take a class or 2 on child psychology and mental development, before they're allowed to breed.

jc2k

a freakin dorable! the best part is the :30 - :40 sec range. haha

mb411

jeezum crow....I can't believe people are being so critical of this kid beeing shown star wars. Any teacher can tell you that children mature at vastly different rates. This child is obviously pretty advanced for her age and she doesn't seem remotely freeked or traumatized. I know grown folks that seem less secure.

I personally was pretty freaked out by John Carpenter's The Thing when I was 10. An older friend consoled me by telling me about one of the actors playing Santa Claus in another movie. Every kid has to learn to differentiate between fantasy and reality in their own way. My guess is this one will be quite alright.

grendelthing

@jc2k:

Spongebob Squarepants is one of the creepiest shows on the air.

Yeah, a lot of people think that people who quickly pass judgement on others based on a 88 second glimpse of their lives should be screened for breeding, too.

I'd rather let a child be exposed to things when I am there to educate them about it, then shelter them until they are old enough to leave and be exposed to it on their own with no idea what is going on.

Coaster

"The big thing that blowed up stuff" was actually the internal technical name of the Death Star. If you said the words "Death Star" to any Imperial member, he'd look at you blankly, the go "pew pew pew!" with his blaster rifle.

churchmany

Oh wow, I totally lolled at the poke-ball reference

Fitz Rhapsody

She's a lot MORE entertaining than the sequels.

CaliforniaKid

@Coaster:

Good points- I may have jumped a little too high (& mighty) on this one, based on a orchestrated home movie.

And I agree that it would be better to be there with them to explain whats goin on.

I tend to err on the side of caution, so we'll keep watching short episodes of creepy underwater cartoons, and mind-numbing educational stuff for now.

Maybe for her 4th birthday I'll get her a copy of Resevoir Dogs and watch it with her. XD

jc2k

Don't talk back to Darth Vader. He WILL get you.

I can only hope my kids will have the same level of knowledge.

dsween

They should have this as a special feature on the disk. The shiny guy always worries.

Hyruu

I'd like to hear her take on the cantena dismemberment scene.

What's her opinion on the 'Han shot first' debacle?

Mondoz

I'm a child psychologist AND a developmental specialist, and I can say with some degree of confidence that Star Wars (A New Hope), when viewed with parents, and when viewed by the right child (as this child might be, given her loquaciousness), is entirely appropriate.

It's children like this that make me love what I do.

Moewron

She is just adorable!!! The things we have to look forward to when the girls are 2!

MommyMoments

@se7a7n7:

That's a good point. That's exactly why I think 3 year olds shouldn't be able to be court reporters or detectives.

Moewron

Long Live Obi-Kenobi!!!

jcrockerman

Now have her explain Rashomon.
