I would love to go! Yes, we are Star Wars freaks! If we lived a little closer I would consider a weekend trip just for this. (Live in Louisiana)

Hey, you know we plan our trips to coincide with them. You would never guess we like Star Wars right?

I never would have guessed it!!! (My kids have the same Jedi rob and a full Vader costume as well).

When Revenge of the Sith came out on DVD I went to the video store the first day it was out to rent it. (We did not bring the kids to see it at the theather.) My little one was with me in the video store (2 years old) and kept pointing at the picture of Vader!! He wanted to rent it and knew who he was (from the first triology).

I know what you mean about not seeing ROS. I haven't let our children watch it either. That is until my dad watched them while we went to Disney in January. Of course the children didn't tell him they weren't allowed to watch it.
