Juliette's Commentary on Return of the Jedi


In Jabba's palace as the monster things make noises:

Juliette: He's crying. He's crying, Mom.

On the battle on Jabba the Hut's barge:

Juliette's: Wootie's come back in the bed.
Me: The Wookie's in a bed?
Juliette: Yeah. It's a Wootie, Mom. Wootie, Wootie, Wootie.

*starts humming along with the theme music*

When Darth Vader comes back on the scene:

J (pointing): MOM it's Dart Bayder. It's Dart Bayder, Mom. It's Dart Bayder.


When Luke returns to Degobah:

Charlie: There's Yoda, Juliette.
Juliette: Yeah, Yoda!
C: Yeah, Yoda is in Star Wars.
J: Star Wars? Star Wars!

J: Mommy, a get my Yoda? A get my Yoda, Mom!

(I got it, and then she returns to watching the movie.)

J: That's Yoda, Mom.



As Yoda turns to rest when Luke asks if Darth Vader is really his father:

J (whispering to herself): He's seeping (sleeping). He's seeping. He's try to seep.

*feeds her Yoda some of her cup of milk*

J: Driiiink! Driiiink!

(Gracie and Charlie converse about Yoda: Charlie wants to know, "Is he really dying? Why?" Gracie's answer: "That's just part of life." #deepthoughts)

Juliette: It's noisy, Mom. It's noisy.
Me: What's noisy?
J: Ahhh... a car. And that's See-P-Oh.
Gracie: That is NOT C3PO, Juliette, that's R2D2.
J: Yeah. See-P-Oh.

While Ghost-Obi-Wan and Luke are talking:

J: *starts singing the Weird Al Yankovic Yoda song*

As we transition between scenes with a fleet of starships:

J: No no no! Shoom shoom! (those are laser sounds)



Back with the Rebels and Mon Mothma, discussing the Endor moon:

J (who has priorities, and Han isn't one): Wootie Wootie Wootie, Mom! A Wootie! A Wootie, Mom.

*Gives toy-Yoda (haha) another drink of milk and makes some more laser sounds*

And then when Luke arrives at the meeting:

J (with a cup stuck to her face): Yute! (which means Luke) Yute! Yute! Yute!

"Luke! Luke! Luke!"

(Meanwhile Gracie is just SO annoyed that the smaller two are talking and "being noisy" and "being so lou-lou-lou-loud" while she's trying to watch.)

When she sees R2D2:

J: *makes R2D2 noises*

And some more fleets of starships:

J: Fly fly fly fly fly.

*Toy-Yoda spends some time being slid down her sloped pillow and blanket*

J: Down the slide.


And then when Darth discusses his new plans:

J: Look! A Dart Bayder, Mom. A Dart Bayder Mom.
Me: What's Darth Vader doing?
J: Uh, running back. Dart Bayder running back. (He's totally not.)

As Han, Chewie, and the troops hide in the bushes on the Endor moon:

J: Wootie. And See-P-Oh. Mlahhhhhhh mlahhhhh mlahhhhh. Wootie, Wootie, Mom!

*walks around breathing heavily dragging a large bubble wand as a walking stick*

J: I found a bubbles, Mom. I found a bubbles... A YIGHTSABER! A Yightsaber. Tsnnn! Tsnnn! (lightsaber sounds)


When everybody is partying on their speeders (or trucks, I guess) in the woods:

J : Mommy, I need a truck. I need a truck, Mom. Truck det mat deet doors. (not sure what that means) Yod-ee Yod-ee Yodaaaaaaaah.

When R2 and C3PO get back in touch with the troops after their speeder chase:

J: Yook its See-P-Oh. Holding my hand. There's See-P-Oh, Mom.

When Chewbacca gets stuck in the Ewok net-trap:

J: Wootie's need help. Wootie's need help, Mom. Wootie's need help. See-P-Oh needs help.

And then the Ewoks show up:

Juliette: A keety-cat. A keety cat, mom. Keety cat and Wootie.

*sings part of a Daniel Tiger song "I Love My Sister"*

*starts sucking her thumb really intensely*

Charlie stands stock still in the middle of the room, gazing up at the television:

Charlie: I have these feelings about Star Wars.
Me: What feelings do you have, bud?
C: Oh... Any kind of feelings.

When I turn it off for the evening (promising to finish later) and tell the kids its time for scriptures upstairs before bed:

Juliette (gathering her blanket and toy-Yoda): Time for scriptures. Time for scriptures and get my Yoda.
