The hour was late, she had school the next morning, but it didn’t matter. And Luke Skywalker.Īfter the movie Analei and I talked for awhile, about her favorite parts, about who Rey’s parents might be, that sort of thing. Han Solo on the big screen, cracking wise. Through the movie I was transported back to my childhood. But as we watched the movie and laughed and cheered along with The Force Awakens, there was something more.
Simple things, like learning to ride a bike, or jumping on a trampoline, or swimming across the pool for the first time.
One of the best parts of being a parent is watching your kid do some of the same things you remember doing when you were of a similar age.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will likely cross a record-smashing $245 million threshold for opening weekend numbers-meaning, many of you have likely seen the film.
