The Playset

The idea was to turn this run down playset in our backyard into Darth Vader's spaceship. Jake and Max had no idea what Darth Vaders spaceship looked like, so it was off to Planet Google to see what we could find...

It All Started with Darth Vader

Jake and Max (but mostly Jake) became fascinated with Darth Vader a few months ago. He has peppered me with questions about him: Can he fly? Does he have a gun? Is he mean to to the good guys? And if he is, is he good to the bad guys? Does he have a spaceship? Is he a robot?

On and on and on. They havent seen Star Wars yet- but they will soon, I can tell. I told them they can watch the beginning of it (up until the Cantina scene, probably).

Anyway, not too long ago, Jake and me formed an idea...

Now, here it is, 2 years later. Im not in Bucharest - my life as a mild-mannered suburban dad will be covered next...
