Star Wars + My Wife = ???

I've been a fan of Star Wars since I was 12. My wife, however, didn't even know who Yoda was. We decided to watch all 6 episodes in chronological order, over a period of one week. We succeeded :) Most people said that we should have watched 4-6, then 1-3, but I assured them that it would be better if we watched them 1-6. Trust me. You'll understand why in a minute.

Each episode took about 3 1/2 hours watch because I had to constantly pause the movie to explain what was going on. She actually loved all of them and now considers herself a fan! She's a very cute girly-girl, so here are some of my favorite quotes/conversations while watching Star Wars:

1. (While watching a battle in space)

Hollie: "Oh! That's so pretty! They should all have different colored lasers so it will look like a rainbow!"

2. (Attack on Hoth, referencing the AT-AT Walkers)

Hollie: "Those look like elephants without noses!"

Me: "They actually studied elephants to get the motion correct."

Hollie: "Baby elephants are so cute!"

3. (Mace Windu's light saber)

Hollie: "Why is his sword purple?"

Me: "Because Samuel L. Jackson said he wanted that color."

Hollie: "I thought his name was Mase Wodu?"

Me: "It's Mace Windu and the actor's name is Samuel L. Jackson."

Hollie: "Purple's a girl color."

4. (When we first meet Lando)

Me: "Did you know that he was the first African American to play a major role in a sci-fi movie?"

Hollie: "What about Mase Wodu?"

Me: "It's Mace Windu and he was in Episodes 1-3 which were filmed later."

Hollie: "But I thought that Mase knew Darth Vader when he was a kid."

Me: "Never-mind."

5. (When we first see the Death Star)

Hollie: "Is that the Death Star?"

Me: "Yes."

Hollie: "They did a good job."

She wasn't talking about the special effects department. She was talking about the actual Empire construction crew.

6. (Episodes 1-3)

Hollie: "I don't like Anakin. He's too whiny."

7. (Episodes 4-6)

Hollie: "I don't like Luke. He's too whiny."

8. (When Palpatine tells Anakin to kill Dooku)

Hollie: "Wait! I thought they were the same guy?"

Me: "Who? Palpatine and Dooku?"

Hollie: "Yeah, don't they work for the Sith Lord guy?"

Me: "Palpatine is the Sith Lord."

Hollie: "But he just got his head cut off?"

Me: "That was Dooku!"

Hollie: "Oh... who's the Sith Lord then?"

9. (I'm trying to remind her who Darth Maul was, literally the day after watching Episode I)

Me: "He's the guy with the double bladed light saber."

Hollie: "I don't remember him or that light saber."

Me: "He was red and black with horns on his head."

Hollie: "There was a red and black guy with horns?"

Me: "He was the main bad guy who killed Qui Gon Jinn."

Hollie: "Qui Gon who?"

Me: "Never-mind."

10. (She knew Luke and Leia were twins because of E3)

Hollie: "Right there! They just kissed!"

Hollie: "There! Rewind that! They totally kissed! Gross!"

Hollie: "Does he know that she's his sister?"

Hollie: "What's wrong with the director?"

Hollie: "Did you see that! He just gave her a look!"

Hollie: "Please tell me they find out before it's too late!"

Hollie: "Why can't she just get with the Indiana Jones guy?"

Me: "I saw. I know. Not yet. Don't know. No he didn't. They do. She does."

I love my wife :)
