About this episode
What should parents do if their six-year-old son wants to dress up like one of the most murderous bad guys, Darth Vader? It's fine -- and the key lies in a weakness in the story itself: Luke is a vanilla protagonist (at least until he gets his own robot hand). 2D good guys aren't inspiring to your kids? Why should they be? That's most often a problem with the story itself...because, after all, stories are soul food. The bigger issue would be if you had a son who wasn't at all interested in swinging a light saber and saying "koooh-prrrrh." Of course, there are some checks and balances to this process, especially as your kids get older. You'll hear plenty more on this topic as the guys spend a pleasant hour not discussing Les Mis.
