Some of it is dark/scary but she's not bothered by much.<br /> She likes Vader and R2D2. She didn't get the big reveal and tuned in and out while it was on. I like that she recognizes the score and characters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2644109 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 22:41:20 +0000 hummusgirl 2644109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I'm pretty sure LO will not have the attention span! He couldn't handle Finding Dory in the theater. </p> <p>@Mrs. Pickle: I was reading him the Yoda book today and had to catch myself before I read some of the spoilers! "Yoda warned Luke of going to the dark side like his fa..." Um, moving on... </p> <p>@MrsKoala: My LO is pretty into bad guys too, even before the Star Wars stuff. I guess it's normal? </p> <p>Thanks everyone. Sounds like showing (attempting to show) the movies at 4 won't scar him for life. We'll see how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2644053 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 20:51:12 +0000 caterw 2644053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 3 and is also super obsessed with Star Wars too- we put on the movies for her and she was totally bored. I think she just likes light sabers and costumes. We have some Golden books with the original trilogy that we read pretty often and she has a Darth Vader toothbrush. I think I would try again in a year or two when she is more likely to get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2644049 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 20:47:47 +0000 BeachMama 2644049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 year old saw the newest one and became hooked. I think she's seen most of them by now, and knows more about them than I do </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2644037 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 20:33:49 +0000 youboots 2644037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4/5 I think is pretty standard. We have a tradition of watching them all the first week in January </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2644031 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 20:25:48 +0000 fancyfunction 2644031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is almost 4 and has started getting interested in the books - she thinks Princess Leia is really cool (her new word for everything!) Don't know when she'll show an interest in watching one of the movies though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2644015 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 20:07:10 +0000 MrsKoala 2644015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it too early at 2.5. He saw our DVDs and asked for it. Now he's obsessed with lightsabers and bad guys. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2644001 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 19:39:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2644001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I know. It probably won't happen, especially because I just remembered she has a book called Good Night Darth Vader and it's about Vader trying to put his kids to bed. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2643977 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 19:11:10 +0000 mrbee 2643977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: If she's too old though, then she might overhear a spoiler about Vader's revelation!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2643962 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 18:31:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2643962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait to show DD Star Wars! I'm obsessed. I'd like for her to be old enough to be surprised by Vader's revelation. I'm thinking 6ish. I was in 1st grade when I started watching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2643949 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 17:56:34 +0000 yoursilverlining 2643949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Star Wars must be a 4 year old thing because everyone in LO's class, including Lo is into Star Wars and a survey of friends found 4 to be the magical SW age. </p> <p>Most of our friends showed the first movie to their kids at 4 or 5. My husband and lo watched the first one together a few weekends ago, but lo got bored midway through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-youwill-you-let-your-kid-watch-star-wars#post-2643913 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 17:03:38 +0000 hummusgirl 2643913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4-year-old has somehow developed an interest in Star Wars - wants to check out books from the library (currently reading about Yoda) and talk about BB8 and R2D2 and lightsabers. </p> <p>I'll admit I've never seen the movies except the first of the original trilogy as an adult (I fell asleep) and the first of the new ones (Jar Jar Binks...ugh). But I'm open and a little excited at the prospect of getting into it even though it passed me by the first time. </p> <p>My husband is itching to show at least the first movie of the original trilogy to our just-turned-4-year-old. It seems a little dark/violent but I'm not all that familiar with it. Common Sense Media says to wait until age 7. What do you think? </p>
