The real reason we have kids is so we can introduce them to the things we love and then buy things from it and claim it's "for the kid".
Love your obscure profile pic
scud is reeeaaaal
Religious indoctrination anyone?
More loving is when you show your kid the title and you give the kid your old toys of the title.
He’s being a helicopter parent.
I made my kid watch Star Wars and he said it was dumb. I put him up for adoption the next day.
I AM NOT HIS FATHER!
I showed my daughter A New Hope and she had no interest...she was also 3 at the time, so that's on me. However...I got her hooked with Jedi. She liked Chewbacca and the Ewoks. Then I showed her Empire and it is now her favorite...she likes the snow and the Yoda scenes.
I took her to see TFA when she was almost 4 and she sat through the whole thing and loved it. She requested a Star Wars birthday party (May the forth be with you) and it was awesome. Did the Jedi training in Disney World...it's great.

I am the only one out of my family who loves Star Wars. My brother hates it. He cries when I watch any Star Wars movie because he hates the so much. He can only name Darth Vader and Kylo Ren.
hahahahhahahahha..... roflmao!
FACE She is going to be a Jedi.
Helbore you did good
"it's complicated" parents universal excuse to explain nothing.
But why is it complicated? "Because I said so"
@@Yamigata Proceeds to explain the Shakespearean and Kurosawa inspired imagery and puts the kid to sleep.
When you burned his book that was hilarious! I'm now subscribed
MiguelJ 0727 right omg !
Dad, where's my book?
Dad: *shrugs*
It’s complicated.
It went away to where Obi-Wan Kenobi are.
he have the hair like Anakin Skywalker 😂
I like how you said it's not possible that he doesn't know what Yoda looks like.
Man, my 24 year old roommate got through his life not only never having seen Star Wars, but also completely and totally avoiding all spoilers for it.
you would think that after 8 movies and a clone wars and rebels series, he would know...But nope lol
"Did he use the force?"
YES MY CHILD. YES HE DID.
I'm really afraid that my future kids would not like Star Wars...
You can always kill them and try again.
D:
Same! 😂😂😂
Then they will experience the full power of the Dark Side...
In all seriousness, show them the originals, rogue one, if you feel lucky, try 7. When they get older than 10 or so, show them the Clone Wars TV show. (Reason I say that is because the Clone Wars does handle some more mature topics. Slavery, government corruption, terrorism.) Unless you want to, don't show the prequels unless they want to watch them. (I personally don't view the prequels as horribly as some fans but I do admit they're not the best lol) Give Rebels a skip too. Thats just me though. You parent the way you want to! Have a good one and may the Force be with you. Always.
Brian Boardwell true, better safe than sorry🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude, this is both hilarious and emotional. I hope I can get my kids to watch it like this when I'm older.
This is probably the only reason I really wanna have kids, to share stuff like Star Wars with them (The original trilogy of course)
gutz1981 by share you mean force upon them
Hey, if I as a parent cant take advantage of my position of power and make my kids watch things they don't want to watch, then am I not part of the problem and not the solution? Ha ha
literally lold
Give the prequels a chance.
EP3 is excellent.
dramatic zoom was hilarious
your kid looks like luke lol
I think he looks like Anakin
yea he does look like anakin
Wish they did an Obi Wan spin off western style on Tatooine during the lost years in hiding overseeing Luke's growth. I could honestly see your son portraying Luke as a child in some scenes, so its cool how He's a huge Luke fan/SW fan.
There's Rebels.
Well 2 years later, it’s your lucky day!!! Well everyone lucky day but still. Haha
One wish down, two to go
This comment aged well!!!
actually happening, isn't it?
Congratulations on raising him right! My nephew is proceeding nicely.
When I have a son or a daughter, I will introduce them to Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Jaws, and Toy Story.
The first lion king movie as well, my son want's to watch it every day. It was my favorite Disney movie as a kid as well. It is a must see for a child.
I'll wait until my kid is 4 or 5 to show him/her Jaws, and nightmare on elm street, then star wars and jurrasic park (only the fisrt one, the others are crap)
Gabriel26963 Five is the best of the saga, I wouldn't not show it to them. 6 was admittedly the weakest of the originals.
In that order?
RogueDragon05 I don't think it matters in what order I show them the franchises
That dramatic zoom in and his face on the reveal is priceless. Lol
The spoiler blasting... I'm dying! Well done
First video of yours I have seen and it just melted my insides so amazing, my girlfriend has a 5 year old daughter and she loves star wars we have to see Empire still. I am meow subscribed.
+Mike Buck Thanks, man!
Mike Buck the original trilogy is so timeless that I find myself less angry at Lucas for enhancing and adding some special effects after the fact. Kids can watch no without rolling their eyes at the primitive effects. They don't even notice.
Derek Roche They would notice the fake Emperor in The Empire Strikes Back. Many of the changes are for the better.
No, it wasn't for the better.
They should change nothing or at least offer the original untouched versions to the people who would want it that way like me. That way both are happy.
Matt Reed
I do have them via torrents.
Hell I got Team Negative 1's 1977 Star Wars that they upscaled from 35mm film reels they obtained. But it would be nice for them to be officially released on Blu Ray where I can get them in a nice package and remastered better (Team Negative 1 did a very good job but that was using fan made tools to do it, imagine what Disney could do??)
I love it, I used to call Darth Vader "Dark Vader" when I was a kid too, always my favorite character....
I thought he was dark vader too, and I find it ridiculous
Now this is real parenting! Most kids would've gotten bored and gone on their iPads but he stayed til the end!
"Are they gonna kiss?" (Han nods on screen)
PS. this whole thing's adorable. Good job.
Can't remember when I first showed Star Wars to my son... He must have been 4 or 5 maybe. It has created a special bond between us, something we share and that I treasure. When the movies were rereleased in 1997, he was 8 and we finally got to see them together in a theater. Then we went the whole prequels route together too. In 2013 we went to a special two-nights Saga screening, and that was awesome, seeing these 6 movies, 1-2-3 the first night, 4-5-6 the 2nd, and talking about them. He was 23 at the time. SInce then we have shared Episode 7 and 8, and found new grounds for discussions. He will be 30 when we will go see Episode 9, and I expect any grandchildren I may one day have will also be Star Wars fan. That's the beauty of Star Wars. I am a first generation fan, made my son into a 2nd generation fan, and I hope his children will be the 3rd generation.
I love the editing of you putting the coloring book in the barbecue and lighting it and all the sudden showing the death star explode
"No, I am your father" must be one of the biggest surprises in movie history. Now everybody knows it, but imagine the audiences reactions in the cinemas in 1980.
I just love the fact that you burned that book.
When I have kids I'm going to proof read every star wars book I give them before they watch the OS.
That's boring. In this case, movie came before the book. Movies are way better.
After seeing this video, I went and watched about about 15 Empire reaction videos and none of the kids were into it like your son. Maybe 6 is a bit too young, 7/8 seems to ideal, but your kid must be pretty smart.
Not so smart asking all those damn questions. Kid needs to learn some movie etiquette.
I learned how to use VHS to watch the originals when I was only a few months old about 6 or 7.
There's one with a girl named Sophia. She got so sad on Vader's reveal that it got me sad :'(
I love how all the questions stopped during the Father reveal. he was shocked.
@@abstractdaddy1384 Asking a ton of questions is a sign of intelegence. It shows that you want to understand something fully and won't just accept what's put in front of you...
Vader: I am your father
Dad: stares intensely
Son: continues watching like nothing happened
That was 9 year old me in 1980. I never get the over the top hype about the reveal.
I don't normally comment on RUclips videos, but I think it's wonderful that you are able to bond with your son over Star Wars.
oh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn I would have kids just so I could do this one day
this is awesome, THANK YOU for raising him right
lovely if a father is so hooked to Star Wars it becomes part of his DNA
Righteous absolutely righteous. This is it. When people ask what is it about Star Wars? It is this pure and simple. Beautiful.
Watched this as a kid too on VHS. Kept watching it several times over the years. The adventure, characters, world, and the music was so engrossing as a kid. Wanna thank my dad for buying the collection box for me even though he didn’t know what it was. Haha I thought it was a video game.
That is a very curious boy. Very good of you to indulge his curiosity. Fun to witness too so thanks for that.
The hardest part of raising a child is to shield him/her/them from spoilers for about of 7-10 years.
IT'S OVER ANAKIN, I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND
I saw TESB in 1980 about a week after it opened when I was 6 with no idea what yo expect. I remember leaving the theater shell shocked. This movie threw some major curve balls to the audience. The good guys loose, but with a hopeful yet uncertain future.
Love that kiddo!!! And BURN THE SPOILERS!!!!!!
That's the first time I've ever seen somebody actually react to that plot twist.
That was probably the same look I had in 1980 except I was a bit younger at 4. Very similar hair though lol
I wanted to see when would he figure out who yoda was!! lol but you told him. Great video, man!!
I like the way Dad glances over to his son for a reaction when Darth Vader tells Luke he’s his father.
Being a dad is awesome! Best thing that ever happened to me hands down.
My kids absolutely love Star Wars. I put it on for my daughter all the time while she was about 2. It made me so happy when her first word was Luke. They’re also big fans of The Walking Dead, and I never introduced them to it. They noticed I was watching and they wanted to get in on the action.
He sounded like someone baked out of their mind watching Star Wars. Like he just turns to the people he's watching with like "I... I got the answer guys. I know what it is. It's the Death Star."
I don't have plans to have kids, but I think it's sweet that Dads are showing their kids the stuff they loved as kids. Also let's just say the plot twist in Empire Strikes Back is one that will always be stuck in our brains forever.
ROFLMAO at 2:23 - "Poops pants a bit"!!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Your captions are CLASSIC! LOVE!!!
These videos are wonderful. It gives me happy memories of seeing Star Wars when I was a kid.
Holy shit that's look on his face on "I AM YOUR FATHER" is priceless!!
WTF man!? he didn't know who yoda was and you soiled it ahead of time, couldn't you wait?
Well I guess you were really excited for your son to experience Star Wars
Dante Barcenas I didn’t spoil anything. Obi Wan tells Luke at the beginning of the movie to go to Yoda. Right before this scene he asked what Yoda looked like and I was just surprised that it hadn’t been spoiled by a picture or action figure.
@@HowToBeADad yes but Yoda tells Luke that he is just leading him to Yoda and it's a surprise that Yoda, a once powerful knight is just a tiny frog guy all along.
Love this. My boy is 2. I can't wait until he's a little older.
It's going to be amazing.
I saw the original Star Wars(A New Hope) in the theater when I was 5 1/2. You're raising your son right! Loved his mimicking of Vader.
Very well edited man. Cant wait to show my kids these moments.
These are the BEST! Tried to get my son who's 3 to watch Star Wars. He's still too young. :,(
Once theyre old enough to go to kindergarten theyre old enough to watch star wars imo
I love his reaction so much at the I am your father part! LOL
No questions asked when Vader says it. He just takes it in so quietly! I love it.
That was soooooo funny. Great editing.
Lol your kid is adorable and seriously you're one dad of a kind!! Way to go
Aw thanks, man!
That was my exact reaction when I saw The Empire strikes back for the first time and heard for the first time “I am your father”. My eyes were widening and I said not TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! It still shocks me today!🤣🤣🤣
1:16 - I just love the lighting in your living room, very relaxing - Your little boy is just adorable. Cool and funny montage ;)
Everyone getting pissed off when he spoiled the Yoda twist, because that's totally the reason why Ep.V is so memorable. Great video btw! You ever plan on having him watch any of the animated series like Rebels? I'd include Clone Wars but I wouldn't recommend it for his age, maybe when he's a bit older.
Thanks! Yeah, he's playing the game Star Wars: Galaxy of Heros so he's become interested in Rebels because it has the main characters from it. We'll introduce him to it soon.
How To Be A Dad Awesome! Should we be expecting any more reaction videos?
Definitely. The Force Awakens and Rogue One. Then probably a mashup edit of all three prequels. They don't really deserve their own videos, I think. Unless my son's hysterical for each or something.
Great video presentation. Ty for sharing this. I was 8yrs old in 1977. I know how this kid feels.
This reminds me on my childhood. I watched with my father and my uncle Empire and Jedi in the 80's on TV and it was so awesome. I was almost in the same age. And i watched Bud Spencer and Terence Hill-Movies with them and Indiana Jones Temple of Doom and the Goonies, i had big fear before Slot. It was an awesome time.
“Does Luke win???”
“….it’s complicated.”
Lol. You’re a wonderful dad ❤️
Yeah... so... I totally just cried a little... Thank you, amazing dad :D
When he set the book on fire :))) such an awesome dad!
Aw thanks. My son watched me do it with a horrified smile on his face that scremed "What are you even DOING, Daddy!" Hahahahahaha!
Awesome bud. I was actually 6 years old when Star wars debuted ... For 6 straight years i went as Luke skywalker for Halloween :)
The Force is strong with you. :)
The dramatic zoom 😂😂 I was crying laughing his little mind was going a million miles a minute lollll
The first time I saw STAR WARS, I was 5.
In that moment I really grow up to a new phase of my life
Man, the first one melted my heart. This one gave me a big ol smile. Can't wait to show my future offspring Star Wars. Definitely subscribed!
Kid: "Dad where is my book?"
Dad: *laughs in sith lord*
I love these videos! I was 10 when Star Wars came out and this brings back memories of me seeing it with my dad all those years ago. Thanks so much! You are a GREAT DAD!
I tear up every time I hear Yoda and the Force and I love it
I'm a Dad to a little girl who's almost 4 and loves Star Wars and I can't wait to show her the movies. These videos are fantastic...subbed with the bell on and excited for the Solo reaction and others
So adorable! Reminded me what I watched Star Wars for the 1st time w/my son (now 23). Well heck, my eyes. Somebody must be chopping onions!
This is an awesome video. I love your editing lol
Even when he’s not watching the movies he still asks questions
what an adorable kid! and an absolute win with the reaction video!! Good going on the book, zero tolerance for spoilers!!!
Awwwww i wanted to see his whole reaction to that moment haha
This made me actually think of the time I may have a kid and we're watching Empire (because we WILL watch it at some point), and right after the shocking reveal, I turn to my kid (whose brain has probably exploded) and say "Hey, guess what...*I* am your father!"
...yeah, I'd totally be one of "those" dads. 😂
Hahaha...this is so great...I'm proud of you man...
Oh how i wish i cud go back to being a kid and experience these movies for the first time again. I hav a 7yr old daughter that I've been trying to turn onto Star Wars, but she tells me it's boring. Naturally I've written her out of my will. My 7 month old girl is now "my only hope"
lol savage
This is absolutely wonderful. I’m watching.
i could not stop laffing when the dad burns his book!
This and the previous video are the best!! I can't wait till I have a son and can share in such a glorious moment too!!
Well, he asks a lot of silly and funny questions. And then he gets so used to asking questions he literally asks questions about everything. I think it's funny. :p
That was amazing. I hope to have the same experience of my own with kids of my own one day.
This is adorable
Amazing that you got this recorded! I thought my son was going to think it was boring but now he is hooked. He asks me everyday when the next Mandalorian episode is coming out 😂😂
I can definitely see myself just asking my future kid "you wanna watch a movie?" Every day of their life.
You're quite a dad! Your son will grow up and be a fine man! Keep up the good work!
[intensity intensifies]
haha perfect!
All this only proves:
Dads & Kids and are THE best.
I REALLLY HOPE this is Real!! PLEASE let this be real!
The Empire Strikes Back is probably my absolute favorite Star Wars movie
Minimeister317 It’s way up there for me too. Possibly the top as well.
This is STAR WARS. An eternal legacy passed down from gen2gen. It is great that your boy began with the classics and wonderful that his mind can wrap around it, enjoy it, and perhaps, thank his father for giving him the great gift. I did this with my children. It was all I could give them.
1:41 I LOLed so hard at this 😂😂
Good moments, thanks for this friend.
Such a good dad
I'm genuinely worried that my daughter won't be a Star Wars fan when she's older...
