My Top 7 “I Am Your Father” Moments {Plus Giveaway!}
Star Wars has provided me with so much joy over the years, with no line being repeated more than the classic Darth Vader shocker, “Luke, I am your father”. To celebrate the upcoming Father’s Day celebrations, I thought I would share my Top 7 “I am your father” moments! Here we go:
7. That time I told the kids to clear their plates after lunch but they forgot and then went to play outside with their friends and then found the same old half-eaten food on their plates for dinner.
6. When the kids were supposed to shower but defiantly avoided it, so I pretended the shower was broken for a week so they could be the smelly kids at school. Lessons learned.
5. When my son threatened to run away because I wouldn’t let him play on his iPad for an extra half hour and then called his bluff by letting him put his shoes on and walking all the way down the street, only to have him realize it was a bad idea and quickly run back home.
4. The day I became the “Worst Dad Ever” for not buying the toy my kid wanted, 5 minutes before their best friend invited them over for a playdate that they needed a ride to.
3. When I told the kids to bring their toys in from outside in case it rained because I wouldn’t replace them, only to have it rain on their not brought in toys, ruining them for good.
2. When my kids found out they loved sports, so my wife and I took on extra jobs to help pay for the costs of competitive sports fees because we want the kids to have the opportunity to explore their full potentials.
1. The day I realized that I get to wake up and experience something new and amazing with these kids every single day and loving every second of it regardless of whether it’s good or bad.
As you can see, for better or worse, there are plenty of “I am your father” moments throughout the days and I absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way. Speaking of that, check out this amazing Happy ‘I Am Your Father’s Day’ video made especially for the Star Wars fans out there!

Disclosure: I was compensated for my participation in this program, but I really am a father…
Star Wars the Force Awakens. That one I went with the whole family, hubby, my children and grandchildren. Everyone enjoyed it.
May the Force Be With You
A New Hope, because you can’t beat the original
I love The Force Awakens! It was the one that got me hooked!
The original Star Wars 1977 was so fascinated since I was only a little girl.
My favourite Star Wars movie is The Empire Strikes back because it introduced great characters like Yoda!
Empire Strikes back 100%. Excellent script and effects for the time.
The Empire Strikes Back!
I’d say one of my favorite “I am your Father” moment came when my toddler and I were walking around a park and he was amazed by the ants walking across the path…. So much so he started to squish all of them. He loves watching the bugs walk for a little bit until he decides it’s time to squish them.
Hope daddy wins!
I really like the Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. I know it will sound strange but, I really like Jar Jar Binks!
The first one is my favorite because it was such a fresh new idea and it got me hooked when I was just a kid.
The original Star Wars. You can’t beat it. That’s where we all got hooked on it.

I am one of those people who think there should be one movie in a series and then move onto something else for the next movie, so I like the first Star Wars Movie. I watched the second one and none of the rest because I did not like it as much as the first.
My fave Starwars movie would be Empire Strikes back because of the ice battle!
My all time favorite is the origenal Star Wars.
My favourite will always be the original movie – the real first one, not the first one that is actually the 4th one and was made after the first three but the real first one, made first ?
Being a huge Star Wars fan, my husband has ensured that both our boys have a huge appreciation for it too! At 8 and 4, they are massively huge Star Wars fans too! Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!

Star Wars (later re-titled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope) because that was so very different from all the other movies I’d seen up to then. Loved it and all the following movies too. 🙂
Definitely the Empire Strikes Back.

My favorite was the Empire Strikes Back. It had the best special effects for the time.

Nothing beats the original one and it will always be my favourite.
The original is my fave followed by Jabba The Hutt.
I must agree with Mr. George “A New Hope, because you can’t beat the original”
My favourite Star Wars movie it Return of the Jedi. The opening act vs Jabba the Hutt is one of the most entertaining moments in any film ever.
Definitely the original Star Wars movie, A New Hope. Little did we know, what would transpire after that initial movie.
I loved Rogue One showing a female hero … so much fun to watch!
Hubby says the first Star Wars is his favorite as he used to watch it at his grandpa’s when he was young and watching it over and over got him hooked!
The Ewok Movie.
The reason is the Ewoks are the best , loved that movie. Yeah Star Wars is awesome but The Ewok Adventure come on lol
The original Star Wars , I was 13 and was even reading sci fi back then as my father liked deep sci fi stuff (Robert A. Heinlein type of sci fi)
All the star wars movies get watched and rewatched in our house. They can’t seem to figure out which is their favourite. I think mine is the first one
I love a new hope – where it all began.
The original the spark that started it all
The original is my favourite as nothing can beat the experience of watching it and sharing it with the next generation!
EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Best story and movie of the series.
