"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" absolutely brilliant. I never saw this before.Thanks for sharing it and "The Battle of the Trees"

Oh, my pleasure! I'm so tickled you liked them!

I think I'm going to learn it for when the new movie comes out and I go to see it. I always go with my friend Judy to these sorts of movies as she's the only one I know who 'gets it.' (her daughter is the successful author Holly Black and was a tremenous influence on her daughter)

Perfect! You couldn't ask for a better song - or a more appropriate movie companion! (I think it's brilliant that you know her. It's good to hear that Holly Black inherited her awesomeness from her mom!)

Holly had a very ecclectic upbringing, surrounded by ghosts (as their house was haunted) and her mother's tales of the world of faeirie. Her mom is amazing and quite a talented artist. She's always a joy to be around as she 'gets' me with my love of fantasy etc.
