A New Hope

Eleanor susses out the new crow on ma and pa’s front porch

Literally years in the waiting, Desmond finally gets to watch to watch Star Wars on the eve of his fourth birthday. In all of history, there has never been a more well-informed pre-schooler on the primary and more subtle plot points. Beyond general knowledge, Desmond and dad had even been re-reading/studying the stories before bed in preparation. With Eleanor spending the evening with grandma, and having borrowed a subwoofer from pa, it was finally time for the opening score and crawl-

Ok, the first scene or two with Darth Vader may have been a bit intense…

…but there’s comfort and support

After the first intermission, reinforcement stuffies arrive

“The Force will be with you. Always.”
