I am a Jedi loser

November 13, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Being, Learning 5 Comments

Yesterday we celebrated my son’s sixth birthday with a small gathering of five of his friends based on Star Wars. We did nothing but open a space in the middle of our small house and let them bang away at each other for two hours with light sabers. For a six year old boy, this constitutes a great gift (as it does I am sure for the parents of the other boys who came!).

Of course, being the Jedi master, I was obliged to fight them all at some point, and sometimes even two at a time. It was all going so well until I turned and got stabbed right in the eye by a boy less than half my size. My vision went blurry and my eye started to weep. I was fine in the end, but I had to retire, knowing the humlity of what it must feel like to be slain by Yoda.

    There is no emotion; there is peace.
    There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
    There is no passion; there is serenity.
    There is no chaos there is harmony
    There is no death; there is the Force.
    – The Jedi Code

    I want a light saber for my next birthday! Do they make the noise too or do you supply your own?

    These ones light up and make all kinds of noise. For instance, when you stick them in the Jedi Master’s eye they go “WhooooSH BZZZZZ” and the Jedi Master goes “Shit!” much to the amusement of the six younglings.

    And as for the Jedi Code, add this one:

    There is no blindness, there is temporary blurring and lots of weeping.

    I laughed out loud picturing this action scene, and can hear those short swordplayers giggling with glee. ZZZRRRRRRZZ

    I also laughed out loud at this one. It’s always fun until someone loses an eye…or until the Jedi Master gets a light saber in the eye. The younglings must have thought that was hilarious.
