I used Star Wars to teach my sons about consent

I used Star Wars to teach my sons about consent When my sons asked me a question about date rape, I turned to movies like Bladerunner, Star Wars and 10 Things I Hate About You to help explain. My son is nine years old: I expected to have an uncomfortable conversation this holiday season, but I thought it was going to be one about a guy in a red suit. I misjudged which uncomfortable conversation was coming. It all began when the song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” came on the radio and my thirteen-year-old immediately said, “Isn’t this the date rape song?” Then the third-grader chimed in: “What’s date rape?”

Star Wars Day: The Millennium Falcon was built in Pembroke

During production of the film, the only full-scale model of the classic spaceship, the Millennium Falcon, was built in Pembroke Dock s flying boat hangers. The Millennium Falcon is one of the most recognisable icons in cinematic history, piloted by legendary characters Han Solo and Chewbacca, but very few from outside west Wales realise it was built locally. John Clark was the foreman for the firm that built the spaceship, and his pictures of the design are now in Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre s archives. The prop was built with CIA-level secrecy before travelling to Pinewood Studios in London for filming the second movie in the franchise.

The winter of 1978-79 will be remembered by most movie fans as the time people first saw Christopher Reeve as Superman or watched Dame Maggie Smith s Oscar-winning performance in California Suite. However, the world still had Star Wars fever from the release of the first film in 1977, and a sequel, the Empire Strikes Back, was hugely anticipated. During production of the film, the only full-scale model of the classic spaceship, the Millennium Falcon, was built in Pembroke Dock s flying boat hangers.
