Here is a good example. I have a 3 year old son who is very energetic but he will sit still through A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and if my hand is within a foot of the remote he tells me not to touch it and will smack my hand while his eyes are still fixed on the TV.
I put on Phantom Menace and he wants off the couch and plays with his cars. Then the podrace comes on and he watches that while making noises when its over he asks to see the racing again. I say no and he goes off to play his cars.
He hasn't seen Return of the Jedi yet.
So from a very early age they can what is crap and what is not.
The fact my son is called Luke has nothing and I mean nothing to do with Star Wars.
I tried to call him Boba but the wife wouldn't allow it.
