Have you seen The Force Awakens yet? (NO SPOILERS HERE!) It shredded all previous movie opening records with a whopping $238 million dollar debut! I ventured out on Friday night to an 11:15 showing with my hubby and kiddos . . . including my 10 week old baby! This was the BEFORE pic, hoping the force would be with my baby! Hah! Luckily, he did great!
Don't worry, I won't spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. I'll just say that the movie exceeded my expectations. So, if you haven't seen yet . . . go! Plus, it's an epic, generational movie, so it will be worth your time even if you haven't been into them in the past.
I grew up watching Star Wars and then saw the new ones when they came out a few years ago. With the opening of The Force Awakens, it's been fun for me to loop my kids into something that's so nostalgic for me. As always with big movies like this, there are tons of new books, toys and memorabilia inspired by it.
Here are some Star Wars inspired books for your kids ranging from babies to teens:
ABC: From Anakin, Boba Fett, and C-3PO to X-Wings, Yoda, and Zam Wesell, no one can do the ABC's like STAR WARS!

123: A numerical exploration of a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: 123 uses Star Wars' most popular heroes, villains, vehicles, droids, and aliens to teach fundamental counting skills.

Summary: What if Darth Vader took an active role in raising his son? What if "Luke, I am your father" was just a stern admonishment from an annoyed dad? In this hilarious and sweet coming reimagine, Darth Vader is a dad like any other--except with all the baggage of being the Dark Lord of the Sith. Life lessons include lightsaber batting practice, using the Force to raid the cookie jar, Take Your Child to Work Day on Death Star and the special bond between any father and son.

Summary: Tommy and his friends think that Dwight is a weirdo who’s “always talking about robots or spiders or something.” In true Dwight fashion, he shows up at school one day brandishing a little origami Yoda finger puppet. The really weird thing is that it doles out very un-Dwight-like bits of wisdom, and the mystery is whether the Yoda is just Dwight talking in a funny voice or if it actually has mystical powers. The book is structured as a collection of stories gathered by Tommy and told by kids who either believe or don’t. See, Tommy has a more vested interest than just idle curiosity—he is dying to know if he can trust Yoda’s advice about asking the cute girl to dance with him at the PTA Fun Night. Origami Yoda—a sort of talking cootie catcher—is the kind of thing that can dominate all those free moments in school for a few weeks. Angleberger’s rendering of such a middle-grade cultural obsession is not only spot-on but also reveals a few resonant surprises hidden in the folds. Naturally, Yoda-making instructions are included.
