Anyone that knows Jason and I know that we enjoy us some Star Wars. We even bought the complete set on BluRay the first weekend it came out! Our interest in Star Wars has evidently worn off on Hayden. Every time a commercial comes on TV or we see an advertisement for anything Star Wars he gets real excited and shouts "Star Wars!" or "Look at that! Star Wars!"
For Christmas last year and his birthday this year, we've picked up a few action figures for Hayden but they've been mainly Storm Troopers and a Luke Skywalker figure. But here lately Hayden's been obsessed with Darth Vader (probably thanks to the advertising group at Volkswagon). At one point Jason and I thought it was a good idea to dress up the entire family (dogs included) as characters from Star Wars; but we had always planned on Hayden being Luke. Nope. Hayden has decided he wants to be Darth Vader. Except he says he wants Darth Vader to come to his "birthday". Not really sure what he means by that but if it makes him happy....
Our friend Chris Shaw is also a fan of Star Wars. He also has a theater set up in his basement complete with movie posters. One of these posters is from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The poster shows a young Anakin Skywalker with his shadow being cast upon a building. His shadow is the form of Darth Vader. Friday night we happened to be hanging out at the Shaw's house and Hayden saw the poster. First, he got real excited (like always) and shouted "Star Wars! That Star Wars!". Then Jason asked if he knew who the shadow was. And in the same excited voice he shouted "Darth Vader! Darth Vader up there!"
I think we've created a monster!
