Took my family again today - but first time for my wife and my 4 year old.
Wasn't sure the 4 year old would sit through the entire thing. She's bolted from a few matinees so far in her life. My wife is not a fan of the original series and my 4 year old has never made it through ANH, ESB, or ROTJ because Darth Vader is too scary.
But.....
she loves Chewbacca (or "Chewie, as she suddenly started calling him) and all 3 of my daughters LOVE Rey. My 4 year old ran down our row to jump in my lap during the light sabre battle between Rey and Kylo Ren to ask whether Rey wins or not. She was really invested in the outcome.
Afterwards the kids were pretty excited and talking about it. My 6 year old started giving me her theories of who Rey's mom is. Jeeze, that took me back to when I was her age and was theorizing with my friends about the characters.
Great time. Theatre packed again. If this was any indication, this is going to be the #1 movie for another few weeks.
