Darth Vader: ”What is thy bidding, my master?”
The Emperor: “Send the fleet to the far side of Endor. There it will stay until called for.”
Darth Vader: ”What of the reports of the rebel fleet massing near Sollust?”
The Emperor: “It is of no concern. Soon the Rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us. Your work here is finished, my friend. Go out to the command ship and await my orders.”
Darth Vader: ”Yes, my master.”
Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi
After months of waiting and buying (a house and all the baby stuff to fill one), the final hours of rushing, waiting, encouraging, worrying, and encouraging some more, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru have their first baby. Their work on this pregnancy is finished, but the real fun now that they have a child has just begun.
He’s a.dor.a.ble and looks just like his daddy with a thick shock of dark brown hair and that slightly not-quite-sure-about-you look on his face.
If he doesn’t just make you want to rub your nose into the screen to get a whiff of that new baby smell and cover his super-soft baby neck in kisses, I don’t know what will.
Now I just need an appropriate Star Wars tag for him. Any suggestions?






Is there ANYTHING better than a blog post with baby pictures??!! Nope. I didn’t think so. Might have to click back to this one several times today. Thanks for sharing the love!!
Howsabout Jawa? Definitely don’t use the name of that Greedo-kid from episode one…
Oh, I like Jawa! Thanks for the suggestion, Film Chris. Any others, anyone?
Wicket? Or one of the other Ewok names?
He’s sooo precious. Yeah, I want to hold him, babies do that to me.
Baby R-2? I love R2-D2, he’s so cute and reminds me of a baby. The real baby is beautiful too, BTW.
Congrats to all! He is beautiful!
P.S. my vote would go for an Ewok name, too. Maybe Teek?
The Ewok names are an interesting twist. I’ll have to mull it all over this weekend.
Eh, I’m not an Ewok fan. I do like Youngling, though.
What a delightful picture! And yes….I would love to bury my nose in that sweet little baby neck and give him some nuzzles.
No name suggestions though…still brain dead after my long drive!
Hahahahaha…..just saw your updated tagline. Too funny! Thanks for bring a laugh to my day…If things do go belly up, you bring the cookies…I’ll bring the java.
Ummm….do you wanna stick with the movies, or would you go with Jacen, Han and Leia’s child from the novels? Ah no, he goes to the Dark Side.
Or Jango. Or Jabba the Hutt’s kiddo’s name in The Clone Wars. I can’t remember it right this very minute.
Or you could go with Bail, and call him Little Bail, after Leia’s adoptive dad.
Or you could twist it and call him Young Ben, as opposed to Old Ben that Crazy Wizard….
Jen, sewing up an Eowyn costume these past few days…
The Youngling was at our apartment tonight. So sweet, so cute! Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru are so happy!
I can confirm that The Youngling’s hair smells lovely
I guess my poll was for naught, because when the new mom refers to her kid as The Youngling… The Youngling, he is. You don’t mess around with a new mom!
He is beautiful and I think The Youngling is perfect! Love the hair.
Yay Youngling! He does smell great.
