Attie’s been playing a lot of the Star Wars Jedi Reading game on Lucas’ Leapster 2 lately. It’s helping him work on spelling and reading and learn new vocabulary, yes, but it’s also taught him a whole lot about Star Wars.

In the midst of his off-game playing and drawing, you can hear him reciting the instructions and comments from different games. Just now, for example, he came downstairs and sat at the table with me, saying, “We need your help to rescue ships for the Rebel Alliance. Press the ‘home’ button to play another game.”

Yeah, a little weird. And a lot amazing. What a memory!

I took this video of him reciting the introduction to the game this morning. He’d already gone through it a few times when it hit me to record. (Slow on the uptake…too much grading to do.)

When he watched the video, he said, “Fast.” Then he was all giggles. 😀

“It’s a dark time in the galaxy…”
