So, I had another precious conversation with my now 6 year old son last week. We were driving in the car, and he asked me:
Him: Dad?
Me: Yeah?
Him: How did Darth Vader fall to the Dark Side?
Me: Um.... Nobody knows. They never made a movie about it, so nobody knows...
Him: NOBODY KNOWS?!?!?!
Me: Nope. You just have to use your own imagination.
Him: Oh....
Me: So, how do you think Darth Vader fell to the Dark Side?
Him: Hmmm.... I bet someone- a bad buy! told him that if he fell to the Dark Side that he could have everything he ever wanted.
Me: Mmmm... that's pretty good. So, if a bad guy came to you and told you that, would you fall to the Dark Side?
Him: Noooo.... If it was a bad guy, I wouldn't believe him if he told me that.
Me: But what if he made you think he was a good guy?
Him: Hmmmm.....
Me: Would you believe a good guy if he told you that?
Him: I guess so...?
Ah, the innocence of youth untainted by the Prequels or Special Editions.
