After Jawsh's birthday brunch, we had a big decision to make... to see Star Wars Episode 1 Phantom Menace or to not see Star Wars Episode 1 Phantom Menace. Jawsh, being the big Star Wars fan he is, declared years ago that the boys would only watch the original trilogy and not be exposed to the likings of Jar Jar Binks. But George Lucas' Star Wars machine had already exposed the boys to characters like Darth Maul and Queen Amidala. This was a toss up for Jawsh because now that Episode 1 was being re-released onto the big screen, he was wavering on his previous declaration and it doesn't help when every other billboard we pass has Star Wars 3D displayed across it. After some soul and internet searching, we found a theater that was showing this movie in 2D (we did not want to bother with the 3D) and the boys eager with anticipation and excitement got to watch Episode 1 in their very own theater (there were only 2 other people there so it felt like we were alone). Never under estimate the power of the Dark Side (capitalism)... when will Episode 2 come out???
