Last summer, I was sitting on the couch with my laptop hanging my head as I watched the trailer for the theatrical Clone Wars cartoon. My 5 year old son asked me what I was doing, so he jumped up on the couch with me.

Him: "Wow! Star Wars! COooooollll!"

Me: "Yeah..."

Him: "Dad?"

Me: "Yeah?"

Him: "Who's that?" (pointing at Obiwan)

Me: "That's Obiwan Kenobi." (Confused look on his face)

Him: Who's that? (pointing at Anakin)

Me: "That's Anakin Skywalker." (He gets even more confused.)

And then it dawns on me.

Me: I'VE DONE IT! I'VE RAISED A SON WHO LOVES STAR WARS but HAS NO IDEA THAT THE PREQUELS EXIST!

And then I did a little jig in the family room.

2 weeks later, his idiot cousin invites him to go see the movie for his birthday party. And his idiot cousin procedes to explain to him how much better the prequels are than the old movies. I don't think my son fully believed him, but his innocence is gone. :(
