Evan started talking about Star Wars this morning, and so I introduced him to it’s glories via selected highlights on YouTube. I still can’t believe that I’ve only just realised that I no longer own a copy of the original trilogy. And I call myself a geek!
Anyhow, watching it reminded me of a video that I shot with Amy back when she was about two years old:
See, I had too much time on my hands even back then. Perhaps it’s time for a sequel.
My boys are obsessed with Star Wars, we had to get the video machine and video’s out of the loft for the original trilogy!!
But beware of light sabers and boys, things and people get “deaded” and broke!!

@TheMadHouse, I’m not sure we even own a VHS any more – hence the lack of Star Wars in our house. someone told me the trilogy is only £14 at the supermarkets now, so might have to pick it up.
Mini Amy with a lightsaber, awesome.
I figure you have now rectified your Star Wars trilogy stock level? Which reminds me, you must send me your link to the bargain of the year Tom & Jerry box set ;-)

@SingleParentDad, errr…. I’ve forgotten where that £5 box set came from. they all seem to be going for £25 these days
Hey, at least you didn’t cut off her arm!

@People in the Sun, I did that in Episode V
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!

@Martin, well, let me tell you all about it.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….
It’s the dart board I like

Did you get her? Did you get her good?

@MrsW, well, lets just say she still has a lightsaber shaped scar on the top of her head.

You no longer own a copy of the original trilogy? For shame sir, what kind of bloke are you? Wait, I don’t own it either actually.

@Kevin Spencer, perhaps we should set up some sort of charity to provide aging geeks with DVD copies of classic sci-fi

Oh dear I read that as Ewan started….
…thought you were celeb stalking
.-= Nota Bene´s last blog ..Losing my shirt =-.
@Nota Bene, better than “Ewok” i suppose.
.-= Dan´s last blog ..Star Wars: A Small Hope =-.
Now I’m convinced. You and Noah are bound to be best friends for life.
Also, I may have a photo of Noah wielding a sword and Ethan brandishing a battle ax on our vacation this summer.
.-= Erin´s last blog ..No, Aunt Bethany, those are Christmas lights =-.
@Erin, I hope Ethan’s dressed as Conan
.-= Dan´s last blog ..Star Wars: A Small Hope =-.
That was bloody brilliant. Am I allowed to use ‘bloody’?
.-= Seattledad´s last blog ..Loser Dad =-.
@Seattledad, no. No you are not.

How did you get the “clash” sound effects to line up with the video when you and Amy clashed swords? Was that just coincidence or did you just get lucky? Either way, the whole thing is fabulous.
@Jeff, I actually put the sound effect in myself. along with putting the light saber effect in it took me an entire afternoon.
It was a freeware program on the PC – LSmaker I think. Can’t do it now as I’ve converted to mac.
.-= Dan´s last blog ..Hurrah, its Lee and Dan’s Midnight Movie Club! =-.
Actually, now that I reread that, it appears that coincidence and luck would be the same thing now wouldn’t they. What I meant to say was, did you painstakingly insert the audio effects into the video or did you just get lucky?
She actually looks so much more competent that you with her light-saver-whatever-its-called-thingy, until the end when she has her back to you and you leapt in sensing the poor child’s vulnerability.

@Rosie Scribble, “light saver</strong"??
For shame on you, for shame.

I like her willy-nilly fighting style. haha
