Well I'll bring this back on topic for abit about her thoughts. Let me just summarize.

- Had to reinforce the relationship (thus far) of Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader....and that Vader had killed Luke's father. She understood that Vader was evil and that someone had to fight him but just need to get the "why" of it all. She enjoyed the duel and liked the lightsabers (ohhh flashy) and I told her they get abit faster with each movie to follow.

- Really liked the finale of the film with the fighters running the trench, she was kind of confused by "Ben's Voice" but I told her I would tell her more when we watched the next film. I believe she understand that he's dead but can obviously still continue communicating with the "living".

- She also commented on how her favourite character is Han Solo....I mean Ford was quite the stud but....anyways she liked that Han came back and helped Luke out in the end. She also liked Chewie and thought he had some funny bits.

- Didn't seem all that impressed with the opening sequences with C-3P0 and R2-D2 or appreciate any comedy they lent to the film. Oh well....I guess they aren't that rip roaringly hilarious really.

- Like the "Ghostly Voice" failed to understand why Ben would commit suicide. I explained it was more of a deversionary tactic....if she agrees remains to be seen.



Besides that and the few distractions she just seemed to take everything in. I don't know how many of you would consider Star Wars one of those "have to watch several times to take it all in expierences" but I think this may be the case for her. Who knows, I guess I can help her along when it comes to the next movie.
