However, it was never anything I intended to push on Colin. He has a few Star Wars t-shirts, a couple books and stuffed characters&#8230;um, okay maybe I was hoping for him to be a fan. But, I didn&#8217;t dare think it could compete with the likes of Batman, Mickey Mouse and the Hive.<\/p>\n<p>But one evening, Colin was being cranky and I was, quite frankly, exhausted. So I pulled up a clip of Darth Vader battling Luke Skywalker from Episode VI (#parentoftheyear). Colin&#8217;s eyes became as wide as saucers. I explained to him who Luke Skywalker was, what that crazy sword was in his hands, and who that menacing man in the black hooded robe was. He was hooked. Since then, he insists on reading at least one Star Wars book each night and listening to John Williams&#8217; &#8220;Imperial March&#8221; during meals. His Star Wars fever shows no signs of leaving, and I have to admit, I&#8217;m okay with that!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6869 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/the-force-is-strong-in-this-one\/2014-09-09-19-42-38\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-09-19.42.38-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6870\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-09-19.42.38-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-09-19.42.38-144x144.jpg 144w, http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-09-19.42.38-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6870'>\n\t\t\t\tReading through the character encyclopedia has become a nightly ritual\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/the-force-is-strong-in-this-one\/2014-09-19-07-42-45-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-19-07.42.45-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6871\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-19-07.42.45-2-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-19-07.42.45-2-144x144.jpg 144w, http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-19-07.42.45-2-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6871'>\n\t\t\t\tBringing pals Vader and Boba Fett along for a ride\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/the-force-is-strong-in-this-one\/2014-09-28-19-05-49\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-28-19.05.49-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6872\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-28-19.05.49-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-28-19.05.49-144x144.jpg 144w, http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-09-28-19.05.49-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6872'>\n\t\t\t\tHis turn towards the dark side is complete!\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Star-Wars-Fan-v2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tuckers.cc\/brian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Star-Wars-Fan-v2.gif\" alt=\"Star Wars Fan v2\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6914\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T5-KVlfxqa8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mz0mKMWHnDg?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is no secret that I am a geek for all things Star Wars.
