"You may or may not be nerdy enough to know that today is the unofficial holiday known as Star Wars Day," Blake Bacho says.

So she was a bit shocked to hear me describe the kind of scenes that her then-five-year-old witnessed. My son is a huge Star Wars fan, but mostly because of the merchandise. Even though I saw Episodes IV through VI at his age and turned out perfectly fine(ish), I just can't bring myself to let him watch something that violent yet. Heck, while we're at it, I'd love to show him all the superhero flicks too. My mom is definitely not a Star Wars fan, and she didn't last long before getting bored and ducking out into the theater lobby to make some calls for work. At least Return of the Jedi has those cute Ewoks... several of whom die tragically in an all-out battle with the Empire's Stormtroopers.
