Luke, I am your ...

L's been on a Star Wars Marathon lately and, as fate would have it, as she reached Star Wars: Return of the Sith(?), we had ... nothing. Ours turned out to be an animation. Theirs was a scratched DVD. And so it was only until today that she got to watch it - well it's still playing in the background.

I am slightly concerned about the effect this may be having on little Wombie. 17 weeks seems a bit young to be exposed to light-sabers, bad grammar by Yoda and the transformation of Anakin Skywalker into infamous Darth Vader (for years considered to be Dark Vaser by me, so who am I to comment on misunderstandings). If I'm confused, what will the little mite make of all this. Here's what I (don't) understand so far:

The "chosen" one becomes a traitor;

Luke falls in love with his sister (what the heck?);

Nobody ever seems to need an education;

Everyone has really cool names;

the baddies just keep attacking;

And you are so cool if you have a light-saber and an Obi-Wan Kanobi / Yoda.

I don't know, it's all just too much for me. Concerned L's going to start considering names like Jabba Desilijic Tiure, Vima-Da-Boda, Darth Nihilus and so on. Already she's hinting at Leia (?)

On the up side, I'm so excited I could almost pee myself. We're going for a scan this week and (hold-thumbs) may be able to see whether he's a she, she's a he, or what ever it may be. Great excitement fills the house. Ouma has decided that Wombie's a girl. L's parents think it's a girl. We seem about the only ones who really don't know. And that's just fine. I just hope once we know, names will begin to become more settled in our minds.

If not, who knows, we may just have a young Yoda-Obi-Wan-Anakin-Leia in our house.

What I've learnt do far: Either he has it, or she hasn't that's all I know.
