WHEN IT COMES TO STAR WARS, PASSING ON WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED CAN BE MORE COMPLICATED THAN ONE MIGHT THINK.
“My kids (twin boys) have never really liked Star Wars. They pretty much see it as something dad likes and is boring. They show zero interest in the films or any of the other toys. They just don’t care.” [Editor’s note: all quotes in this article from actual parents dealing with this very issue!]

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve tried and you’ve tried, but despite all of your best efforts, your kids just don’t like Star Wars. Now what?

Let’s get something clear right off the bat: this is far from the most serious issue you’ll have to deal with as a parent. I understand this. Having a kid who won’t watch The Empire Strikes Back is emphatically not the same thing as having to deal with a food allergy, life-threatening illness, bullying, or peer pressure. I get it.

But when you’re a fan, your own child’s refusal to share in the joy of the Star Wars universe can feel like a sucker punch to the gut. For many of us, Star Wars was transformative. It’s what (forgive me) awakened our nerd sensibilities and led us down the geeky path. It expanded our horizons. Many can even point to Star Wars as their professional inspiration for becoming writers, artists, and filmmakers.

My own kids naturally gravitated to Star Wars. I like to say that they became fans without any influence from me, but I have to admit that’s only partially true. I may not have actively pushed the movies and stories on them, but I have a lot of toys, books, and “stuff” around the house that formed a regular part of their landscape and played a role (however minor) in their daily lives. It was always there, sitting on the shelves, hanging on the walls, or adorning my T-shirts.
