Hopper Guy



Well, I have been forcing Lyndsay to watch the original Star Wars trilogy in its entirety for the second time in our relationship, since the first attempt was marred by her falling asleep through the majority of the viewing. Needless to say this continues to be the outcome of our veiwing attempts. However, this recent advent of the trilogy viewing finds me seated next to Xander who is completely captivated by the Hopper Guy.

See, awhile ago I taught Xander to "say" what Darth Vader says, which if you know anything about Star Wars, you know that his breathing sounds a lot like "hauuu perrrr." Well, to my delight he is actually able to imitate the breathing sound quite well when asked to perform, but when he sees Lord Vader on the screen he quickly says, "Daddy, look Hopper Guy." This unexpected referring to the sinister sith lord of course fills us with much laughter and joy and I hope has provided you with a small measure of glee.

What a cool little kid. What is his reaction to the ewoks?

I thought he would go crazy when he saw the ewoks, but he is strangely indifferent to the little fur balls. Chewbacca though...that's another story. Chewie!! Chewie!! Chewie help em!! is what he says. He says that because the first time he saw Chewbacca was when he was holding Han Solo's feet as he is dangling off of the skiff trying to save Lando from the Sarlacc pit.

If you called Darth "Mr. Hopper guy" it would make him seem like Mr. Rogers or something. Did I ever tell you that I think that little boy is brilliant. He is, his memaw said so.
