Star Wars 101
My son Parker is a Star Wars fanatic.
For what it's worth, seeing the first Star Wars movie as a seven year-old is one of my defining moments. It was the most unforgettable movie memory I'll ever have. Nothing can rival it.
So before bed, Parker handed me a two-page quiz on Star Wars that he made up tonight :) Then I tucked him into bed after promising to take the quiz.
About fifteen minutes later he came downstairs and said, "Dad, Star Wars is like the Bible. Darth Sidious is like the Devil. He disguises himself as Lord Palpatine. Yoda is like Jesus. And there are twelve Jedi masters in the Jedi council. And Anakin is like Judas. He goes over to the dark side."
Then he said, "I think about Star Wars too much." He smiled :) And went back to bed.
I might just have Parker preach one of the God @ the Box Office messages this year :)
Footnote.
Here's a little Star Wars trivia of my own. One of my favorite songs is set to the Star Wars anthem. Here are the lyrics:
Star Wars
Nothing But Star Wars
If they Should Bar Wars
Let Star Wars Stay
It's an SNL classic! I sing it all the time!

Love it! When Parker preaches, can I bring my light saber?
I say go for it! The church will love it. My boys helped me write a sermon from the video game "Empire Earth" and it was a huge success. I paid them $10 each for their creative ideas and now they volunteer to help me all the time!
This just shows that Parker is maturing and quickly growing from a boy to a man.
Hilarious. I've heard of churches doing "Harley" Sundays. We could do a "light saber" Sunday. Everyone bring your light sabers to church. The mental picture is beautiful.
By the way, one of Parker's questions on his "Star Wars Quiz" was: What color was Darth Vadar's original light saber?
May the Force be with you!
FYI.
Parker corrected my quiz today.
I got 5 out of 13. Ouch! But most of them we're fill in the blank and essay :) I would have done better with T/F.
