Ryder Waldron, writing over at Coffee With Kenobi, looks at the experience of watching the new Forces of Destiny series with his two sons and their reactions to it.
Before the three of us started watching, Scout told us that he was going to watch one episode and then go do something else. However, he immediately recognized Maz Kanata’s voice at the intro, which gave him an instant connection to The Force Awakens, one of his top two favorite Star Wars movies. Cedar was hooked when he saw BB-8 rolling through the sand on Jakku following Rey. He loves BB-8 and couldn’t take his eyes off the TV screen and told me how much fun he was having.
At the end of Sands of Jakku, Scout said he would watch one more episode and then he was going to be done for now. He was starting to remind me of Han Solo always threatening to leave, but never being able to let go. We made it through BB-8 Bandits and then rolled right into Ewok Escape. At that point there was no way we could stop watching the remaining episodes.
