Josh writes: My wife and I watched the original “Star Wars” movies early in our relationship. She now insists that she has never seen them. I specifically remember her reaction to them! It makes me feel crazy. Who’s right? What will Judge Hodgman rule? A: The real question is: has she seen the movie “Gaslight”? Because she’s clearly playing some weird trick on you: You don’t forget seeing “Star Wars” for the first time. Is she Sith?B: The truth is that memory is tricky. I have a distinct recollection of seeing “Star Wars” in the theater with my dad. I also remember him falling asleep (and snoring loudly) during the Death Star trench run. But could that have actually happened? Could I have been raised by a monster?C: Have you considered that you were watching “Star Wars,” but she was thinking about other things, such as, “I love Josh and I know he loves this movie, but when will this be over? Oh wait: black helmet asthma guy just revealed something about that little guy’s parentage. Seems like I ought to pretend to be surprised or something now.” Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Like this:Like Loading…Tags:admit (tag)force (tag)Shes (tag)Star (tag)Wars (tag)wife (tag) Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
