A week or two ago my wife decided she no longer wanted to be the odd man out when my two boys & I are talking about Star Wars, so she suggested we have a Six Weeks of Star Wars. Basically, every Friday we will watch one of the six Star Wars live action feature films in chronological order. Kind of a crash coarse for her and just fun for us.
This Friday we watched:
“Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace”
Danielle has actually seen this one, in fact she was with me opening night in line for hours at a theater in Connecticut with my pregnant step-sister and her lame boyfriend. (by lame I mean his knee was messed up, but take it however you want to) Due to the events of that evening the movie was very late and Danielle does not remember a good portion of it. So, even this one will be educational for her.
For food this week Danielle & I turned to; “Wookie Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook” to make some snacks to fit our theme. We made R2-D2 Treats from bananas dipped in white chocolate and crushed peanuts with Kit-Kat legs & Hoth Chocolate.
Overall, the night went very well, & we learned some things to different next time; like take the kids to the park before the movie and wear them out playing, and maybe split the movie up over two days or before & after dinner. Although the boys LOVE anything Star Wars and used to sit riveted all the way through a film, they now have seen them all a few times and are way to full of wonderful energy to just sit and watch for almost two hours.
See you next time when we watch; “Star Wars Episode II: The Attack of the Clones”
