This weekend Xavier, Liz and I attended a Star Wars themed birthday party for one of our friends. Today Xavier was wearing a LEGO Star Wars T-shirt that Liz got cheap at a consignment store. I figured it was about time he watched Star Wars IV. Not being a big fan of Star Wars I've been watching Star Trek with him. Its kind of a thing we do when Liz is gone and we have pizza for dinner. We watch an episode or two of The Original Series and eat pizza on the couch.
Anyway, I decided to Tweet some of the stuff Xavier was saying. Many of my friends on Twitter enjoyed it so I figured I'd post them here for others to see. Enjoy!
Watching Star Wars IV with Xavier. "Does it have doggies?" "No." "Kitties?" "No." "Then what it have?" "... Robots!" "Robots?!" "Yeah."

"What do you think of that guy? [Darth Vader]" "He's a bad guy."

Life pod holding the droids headed for the planet. "They're going to get lost."

About Vader "He has scary eyes." *makes glasses with fingers*

Droids walking though the desert, he keeps saying "What are they up to?" Avoiding the bad scriptwriting?

The little guys that capture R2 are bad guys because they have "little scary eyes." And now you know.

I can't type fast enough. This is awesome. Show your 3 year old Star Wars.

"Is he a good guy [Luke]?" "Yeah." "How do you know?" "Well... he's not a bad guy." LOGIC!!!

He's actually following the basics pretty well. he's sucked right into it.
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
I should point out this is the CGI version. He loved the storm troopers riding "dinosaurs". :-P

Obi Wan gives Luke the lightsaber. "Xavier, what is that?" "A light fixture." Fortunately not.
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
Death Star comes on screen. "Xavier, what's that?" "I don't know." "Is it a moon?" "No." Hehehe

I'll be damned. Xavier said the cantina band was playing saxophones. Way to go dude!
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
Xavier is insisting I only eat one piece of popcorn at a time. I'm not on a diet.

At first Xavier thought Jabba was a Gronkel (How to Train your Dragon) but then he realised Jabba didn't have wings, so he's a dinosaur.A "Gronckle" if you're not familiar with it. Its his favorite from How to Train Your Dragon. He has Gronckle PJs.

Jabba and Han are friends because they talked and walked a lot. Can't fault him for that logic.^^^ Extra scene in the CGI version. I know, I'm a bastard for showing him this version. Don't flame me about it. I don't care.

The walls are closing in the garbage crusher. "We have to stop that!" "How?" "There's only 1 thing to do! We have to drive fast!" "???"
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
"What's that gonna do?" "It will stop the closing." "I don't think that's going to do anything." "It has to stop!"
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
After it stops closing. "They're okay! I like this movie."
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
That must be it! Sometimes toddler logic still eludes me. :-)"@badmalifauxer: @doktorandy Gotta get there!"
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
Obi Wan vs Vader: "They have 2 [lightsabers)]! They're fighting like monsters!
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
"They're acting like gophers!" I had him repeat the gopher thing 3 times. I don't know.
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
Storm Troopers fall down the pit after Obi Wan dies. "They went down. He tipped over."
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
Sees Chewie for the 50th time: "Actually, he's like a lion!" #FAVORITE.
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
This is the most fun I've had watching Star Wars in my entire life. That honestly doesn't say much, but I'm having a lot of fun.
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
Death Star blows up. "Xavier, what happened?" *shrugs shoulders* "I don't know." Yeah, its questionable engineering.
— Doktor Andy (@DoktorAndy) November 22, 2012
Credits start, Xavier waves his hands "All done!" "Did you like it?" "Yeah. Can I watch 1 more?" 2 hours past your bedtime? No. :-P

During the climactic final battle, this is what he was doing:
I think that was about my reaction as a kid, too.
