Didsbury Festival

Just paraded through the village in the pouring rain dressed as a Jedi knight, accompanied by daughter №2 (an Ewok).

Most of daughter №2's classmates were Rey. There was much fan theorising over Rey's parentage.

Daughter №2's friends summarised the theories for me. There was a big division between camp 1: Rey is Leia's daughter, and camp 2: Rey is Luke's daughter. (They can't both be true, because eww.)

Rebuttal to camp 2: Jedi (i.e. Luke) had to remain celibate.

Rebuttal to the rebuttal: Luke changed the rules (... or broke them?) when he founded the new Jedi order!

Alternative rebuttal to the rebuttal: Luke gave up being a Jedi to become a father!

I think I've got that right. I don't know. When I say summarised you have to imagine half a dozen 8-year-olds all talking at once.
