Little Man is OBSESSED...I mean COMPLETELY OBSESSED with Star Wars!
It all started with one Star Wars shirt:
He was 2 and really didn't know what Star Wars was.
Then 3 more t-shirts, underwear, a mini Lego set, The Clone Wars animated movie, the Star Wars IV, V & VI DVD's (gifts from Uncle E), the Darth Vader costume for his Build-A-Bear, a big History of Star Wars & Legos book and the kid is officially OBSESSED. Hmmmm. Maybe I went overboard.
NOW, he wants a light saber but I know we have reached our limit and The Husband and I REALLY don't want to get whacked with it.
I can see it now...the kid is going to grow up to seem like a normal person, good job, family but every year when Comi-con rolls around, he'll sneak off, put on his Star Wars costume of choice and join thousands of fans who meet every year to celebrate their love of Star Wars, comic book characters, etc. Here's an explanation of Comi-Con that I found online.
**Every July, Comic-Con turns San Diego into a frenzied fanboy orgy. Alpha Nerds descend upon the city’s seaside convention center in costumed droves. They come to quench their thirst for collectible blood, waiting hours in lines for sneak peaks, giveaways, and valuable face time with the creators of their favorite alternate television/film/comic universes. Hollywood, knowing full well to kiss the hand that feeds it, proffers sacrificial celebrities and exclusive footage in hopes of reaping the benefits during the next summer’s blockbuster season.**
Even now, when he's "in character", he'll get mad if you call him by name. He'll yell, I'm not Little Man! I'm Boba Fett! (mommy rolling eyes and thinking, Oh Lord help me). Then he'll march around the house humming Darth Vader's theme song!
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's got such a vivid imagination. We could just do without the shooting of blasters and fighting with imaginary light sabers.
This will be Little Man (Boba Fett on the right) and his buddy Earl from accounting, greeting the Comi-con visitors exiting the bus. :D

nice...my husband is a star wars dork. I am sure your future daughter in law will be as thrilled about it as I am. Have stood in lines at midnight to watch premiers...sit through the movie that he has seen 4,000 times....and even have a trip planned to Boston to go see John Williams in concert. Thank goodness the morning sickness kept me from going to that one. ;)
You have created a star wars monster. ;) too funny...
I feel for you! Luckily The Husband isn't fanatical about anything. :) I'm going to attempt to "de-program" him a little bit...at least to the point where he'll wear something other than Star Wars t-shirts and underwear. :D
