Today is my nephew’s eighth birthday. Due to the Vegas trip (and I’m pulling an all-nighter since I can never sleep before I fly, I just can’t due to my nerves), I lucked out on getting my phone call to him early (over the Thanksgiving weekend). Maybe I can score him something nice while we’re out in Sin City.
Meanwhile, his dad said Nick is really into Star Wars so he had a string of questions for me because Brian was never that interested in science fiction, fantasy or superheroes. I answered his inquiries the best I could for someone who’s that young and he hasn’t actually seen any of the six movies. Thankfully he didn’t ask any stumpers I couldn’t handle, I knew those Timothy Zahn novels would come to my rescue one day! Nick said he’s also read all six of the Harry Potter books so if he can comprehend those, I think he can handle the novelizations of the six films and novels covering all the events after the Battle of Endor. Star Wars has never had an R-rated streak in it.
