So-we have now seen all the Star Wars movies except the new one; Revenge of the Sith. Noah has become quite taken with it all and I think it has pulled some 'aggressive' tendacies out in him (more so than before). I think he is a normal little kid who has lots of 'boy' energy but when you introduce these movies and scenes with light sabors and action packed fight scenes what more can you expect?
We have decided and he has agreed, he will not see the Sith movie. He tells me he won't see it till he's 13. I think that is funny in a way. He accepts it pretty readily that it might be too violent and we think it will scare him but he's still full of wonder about it. Should we? Shouldn't we? We won't. Ivan wants to see it so we will but without Noah. One of the kids in Noah's class was taken to it with his parents and the little boy asked his mom to leave the movie halfway through. Not surprised. AND this is the kid who gets to see and do anything he wants; gets to watch anything pretty much no restrictions and has the video games etc etc.... so I KNOW Noah should not see it.
Can't believe all the hype about this movie. It's everywhere and it's hard for a little kid to not want to see it I suppose. They even have light sabor spoons that light up in a box of Apple Jacks for goodness sake. Crazy.
Parent's have the power to do or not do what they think is best for thier kids. Either we can worry about being mocked by peers/other parents or we can do what we think is best for our kids. We won't know till later if it was right or not but as Yoda might say, "Follow our instincts we must!"
Sorry buddy---no Sith movie for you. ;0)
