One 7-year-old boy has succeeded where legions of fans have failed: he has persuaded George Lucas to change his vision for Star Wars.
Colin, a young Star Wars fan, hopes to become a Jedi Knight when he’s older, but he also wants to get married and start a family—something forbidden by the Jedi Order, according to Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith.

If Lucasfilm says no, at least Colin will get more free stuff.
