I love Jean seeing right through them ("You don't know how to run a school"), and the way she influences the development of the school and the X-Men. Young Hank was great, too -- of *course* he's seen Star Wars 39 times.
So do you think Charles will ever see it? Oddly enough I had to make a decision on that for "Nameless."

Hank is dear. It's fun to get a chance to write him. And I promised I'd get back to Ilene after Smoking on the Bus!

I think Charles will eventually, probably on video. I had to stop and remind myself that nobody has a VCR in 1978. I also had to go back and remove the PC from the desktop! It's a TR 80, the kind my dad got for his complicated drawdown plotting for work in 1979. I was the only kid I'd ever heard of with a computer at home, and it was just for heavy scientific number crunching. The next model played Space Invaders. (Ok, my age is totally showing!)

I came to more or less the same conclusion -- that if he didn't happen to see it while chaperoning students to a showing, he'd probably see it on video later. Now that I've read this, I'll always think that he makes a Star Wars reference in "Nameless" because it's something Jean would have understood.

What do you think about Charles and Star Wars?

It's such a common frame of reference for people our age -- we understand the Star Wars analogies and how they describe fairly complicated things.
So is Scott her Luke?
