Rating: 19/20 (Dylan: 20/20; Abbey: 20/20; Buster: dnf)
Plot: The plot hasn't changed since the last time I watched and wrote about this.
I thought, "Geez, three is the perfect age to enjoy a little Star Wars with your dad for the first time!" and showed this to Buster. Turns out that a three-year-old, even a genius like Buster, won't understand most of this and be slightly amused a lot of the time but bored the rest of the time. Oh, well, It was an excuse to watch Star Wars, as if anybody actually needs an excuse to watch Star Wars. Despite the disappointment in Buster's lack of interest, I did get to see the Stormtrooper bonking his head on the top of the door for the first time. I'd heard about it, but I'd never actually seen it. It's loud and fairly obvious, so I'm not sure how it slipped past me the forty thousand times I saw this movie. Here's what Buster had to say while we watched:
"That's a big airplane!"
First appearance of Darth Vader: "Oh, he's black."
Buster: What's the bad guys' name again?
Me: Darth Vader.
Buster: No, the white guys.
Me: Stormtroopers.
Buster: Oh. Do they talk?
Me: Yeah, they talk sometimes.
Buster. What about?
Buster: He's funny!
Me: Who?
Buster: The gold guy.
Buster, after C3PO and R2D2 land on Tatooine: Oh, that's a forest.
Me: A desert.
Buster. Right. A desert.
Buster: I didn't fart.
Me: Huh?
Buster: I didn't fart.
Buster, seeing Jawas: Are they green?
Me: No, they're brown.
Buster: They were the bad guys in Lego Star Wars.
Buster, when R2D2 gets zapped: Uh oh!
Buster: What's that guy?
Me: He's just a random robot.
Buster: I want him to be the gold guy.
Buster: [laughs] Box robot!
Me: Do you like that guy?
Buster: Yeah, what's under there? Is that a robot?
Buster: There's a lizard. Wait. I think this is a kangaroo.
Buster, seeing Luke for the first time: Is that the girl?
Buster, mimicking Luke: It's not fair!
Buster: He's nice.
Me: Who?
Buster: The blue guy.
Buster, getting a little bored: I'm going to play and watch the movie.
Buster: Is that a dress?
Me: Yeah.
Buster: I think it's a white dress, like a wedding. Like Rapunzel's.
Buster: What's his name again?
Me: Who?
Buster: The blue guy.
Me: R2D2.
Buster: [laughs] He was lost!
Buster: What's that thing?
Me: Sand people.
Buster: He's a good guy.
Me: The sand people?
Buster: No, the blue guy. [R2D2 starts beeping.] See? He's saying he's cute.
Buster: Where's Luke?
Me: Right there.
Buster: Is he dead?
Me: No.
Buster: Is he sleeping?
Me: Yes.
Buster: Wake up!
Buster, when C3PO loses his arm: Him's arm broke!
Buster, talking incoherently: He changed. His beard changed, like his beard had a white mouth. Did he have a white mouth?
Buster: I wish I had a sword! Where's the girl at?
Buster: I don't want to watch the bad guys.
Buster: That's a camel. [pauses, reflectively] Or is that goats?
Buster: Is that a girl?
Me: Where?
Buster: In the hat.
Me: No, they're boys.
Buster: What kind of boys?
Buster, during the cantina scene: [dances chaotically]
Buster, seeing Chewbacca for the first time: A bear!
Buster, when Obi-Wan uses his lightsaber in the cantina: Him's hand broke! [laughs] Him's arm fell off.
Buster, really bored with the first dialogue with Han Solo: [singing] Chewbacca is a bear. He's lookin' like a bear. [repeats several times]
Buster: I don't want to watch Star Wars. [wanders away]

i think buster proves her genius in her boredom of this movie. sounds like she made it much more fun.
Humbug!
Adorable stuff. Movie still gets a 20, of course. Why did you give it a 19? It's freakin' STAR WARS!
