All Reece's previous drawings of people have involved family members, so I assumed this picture depicted each of us holding a light saber. However, he quickly informed me that it represents the major fighters, both good and evil, from Star Wars. Quite a happy bunch, aren't they? Except for the one in the middle, who Reece says is a beheaded Darth Vader. And just in case you can't tell (or aren't up on the minutia of all things Star Wars), the three with heads on the left are Darth Maul (with the red double light saber), Mace Windu (purple) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (the young version). The green one is Luke, but I can't remember who the other evil one is - maybe Count Dukoo or that Palpatine guy who becomes the emperor. I'm really pretty clueless. Which I keep reiterating to Reece whenever he asks me some obscure question from one of the movies. I've only seen 4 of the 6, and I'm not known for my attention to detail in the first place. We have let him see A New Beginning (the first one we all saw in the 70's, now known as #4) and Return of the Jedi, but he's not seeing anymore until he's at least a few years older. And by then, maybe he'll be beyond the fanaticism anyway. Please??
