Help! Trying to Explain Star Wars Stuff to a Five Year Old...

May 18, 2007 16:01


Okay, so my five year old kid wants to know why when Obi-Wan is fighting Darth Vader in Episode IV, he puts his light saber away and "disappears". I've tried to explain that he was helping Luke get away, but he isn't really buying that.

"Why didn't he just fight Darth Vader?"
"Why didn't he kill Darth Vader?"
"Why did he put his light saber away?"
"Why did he disappear when Darth Vader tried to hit him? Where did his body go?"

Clearly I'm not giving him a satisfactory answer to these questions. Little help? He is a smart kid, and my pat little answers aren't cutting the mustard.

:-) Thanks!
