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.
