We hear so much today about kids not getting the same Star Wars experience previous generations have. With the prequels, Jar Jar Binks, and the Clone Wars TV show all floating around there it can be hard to get a small kid to pay attention to the older, less flashy Star Wars films.

And then there is this video. It shows a son and daughter watching Empire Strikes Back just about the time when Vader reveals his huge secret to Luke. Now a part of me tells me this could be fake but then the rest of me yells that part down because of how adorable this video is.

@skidd: Its when the boy looks straight at the camera and then back to SW. Maybe he's just so shocked right? He can't believe it right? ....right?

I'd like to know what household you come from to think that a kid wouldn't be curious as to why a camera is shoved in their face while they're watching a movie. I don't think the kid knew that was coming, but he definitely knew something was up.

Search your feelings.

There has to be more stuff like this on YouTube. Having been raised in a time when "Luke I am your father" was fucking everywhere, I can at least experience the surprise vicariously through others.
