It's really hard to anticipate what kids will take away from a PG film at that age, as he might develop nightmares from the smallest of things. Of course, I thought 6 was too young too, but here we are. ;) Does it help that Darth Vader redeems himself at least a little at the end? If only to save his own son that is...

My four-year-old son got sucked into the Star Wars universe by a well-meaning friend who bought him a small Lego set that had Darth Vader and some Stormtroopers in it. It took quite a while before he understood that Vader is the baddest of bad guys. He loved that Lego set so much (never put the set together, mind you .. just played with the little men) that we're buying him some of the Galactic Heroes action figures that are meant for the younger kids. I find it ironic that the age limit on those toys is three and up, when there's no way you should show these movies to a three year old. I would love for my boy to fully understand what he's playing with, but he's just too young. I guess we'll just need to wait a bit. This is one with which I’ve been struggling myself.
