Is it normal for an 11 year old girl to be obsessed with Star Wars?

why wouldnt it be?

Answer 3

no im 12 and thats just dumb.....everyone probley makes fun of here and stuff.......trust me thats nothing what kids in my class like....atleast she isnt obsessed with p**n and c**p like my friends are

Answer 4

Of course. What girl doesn't obsess over Han Solo? The Star Wars movies are awesome...well at least the olds ones are. If she likes the movies tell her about the book series.Wouldn't you rather be obsessed with a classic like Star Wars, than Hannah Montanna?

Answer 5

I was 15 when the whole Star Wars thing started and that's all I thought about.  I'm a productive, stable adult now.  (I still like the movies.)  

Your daughter is 11 years old and the movies have a lot to look at and think about.  Good versus evil, it shows women and young girls in power ( Queen Amidala / Natalie Portman was 14 at the time ) not to mention the costumes she wears.  There's lots of action, creatures to catalog and remember, characters to love or hate.  The movies are a feast for eyes and ears, especially the music.  

There are some good messages while not Biblical, are good such as telling the truth, never giving up, redemption, standing by your friends, and going against insurmountable odds.

If she's obsessed to the point of it interfering with the rest of her life then there's the potential for a problem.  But if she's just gah gah over it, let it go.  She might tire of it and get into something else.  There's worse things a child could do in this day and age.

Answer 6

it weird.lol

ily :)

Answer 7

That depends on why the interest and on what exactly - such as the characters or specific one, the story, the violence, the fictial locations or a specific one, the concept of "the force" or just a specific one of the two or both, or maybe all together and the wish to exist in such a "universe".

If unsure, the one that is chosen - if given the choice of being allowed to select only one - is then to be pondered upon if it is something good or bad to be a part of.

Further questions and their answers might be needed to arrive at a final conclusion.

Please rate my answer and have a blessed day!

Answer 8

Well, not exactly 'normal.'

If by normal you mean, out of the ordinary of what every one else does. I can't say I know an 11 year old girl who likes Star Wars nowadays.

Answer 9

Theres nothing wrong with it everybodys obsessed with something

Answer 10

If she likes science fiction, yes.

Answer 11

Of course; it's just like how lots of kids (and even adults) are seemingly "obsessed" with things like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, superheroes, anime, or whatever other fandom they're into. As long as it doesn't totally control her life, it's perfectly fine and can do a lot to spark her imagination (for example, it may lead her to write original stories about the characters, do fanart, make Star Wars-inspired crafts etc.). If you're just concerned about the fact that a girl likes Star Wars, you may need to get over your predefined gender roles; lots of people of all ages and genders enjoy Star Wars (in fact, my sister's college roommate just loved it and her half of the dorm was covered in Star Wars stuff), so it's not an indication of any issues in that department.

Answer 12

Its perfectly normal. People of all ages obsess over Star Wars. If they didn't Lucas Arts would lose its butt. They produce the most video games per year of any character, movie, or cartoon. They sell more merchandise than most others, and they have had  steady sales of the both trilogies. Ask anyone over age 8 who Yoda is or what an Ewok is. 9 times out of 10 they can tell you. Most cant name the vice president. So yeah I would say is extremely normal for an 11 girl to be interested in Star Wars.

Answer 13

As far as I am concerned, it is completely normal.  I was obsessed with star wars then, now, and always will be in the future.  There is nothing wrong with having something that you can open your imagination to and get away from reality for a little while.  Some people may disagree with that but for me, it is what keeps me going.  I focus on other things too of course, but star wars is a great thing to think about if you're going through a rough time and would rather just lose your self in that galaxy far, far away.  It may not be the most popular thing to obsess about, but it is guaranteed to be the funnest! (and i know that's not a word...)

Answer 14

Normal? No

Pathetic? Yes

Answer 15

yes, why not? both my brothers love star wars, one began at 5 and the other at.... 10 (?) they aren't socially awkward or anything like that either, they are both very bright people. star wars is a better obsession than some of the racy stuff they give to young girls nowadays.

i loved star wars too, i had a HUGE crush on little anakin when i was 9.

Answer 16

hey, if she likes it......so be it. she is at an age where she will go through phases of what she really likes  ...it will pass on to something else!!  .....my 5 year old son is into star wars right now.....three weeks ago it was spiderman and before that batman...it goes on and on!!!

Answer 17

Hey, coming from the girl whose avatar is star wars, i think it is a ok. And to anyone who think it is pathetic, it's a lot better than these 11 year olds on here who are afraid they are pregnant, and getting into a lot worse things. Oh, and answerer a couple above me: no one really cares what kids in YOUR class like.

Answer 18

Why not? I could certainly  think of worse things to be obsessed with!

Answer 19

Nothing wrong with it at all.

Answer 20

NO IT IS NOT!

sorry

Answer 21

An 11-year old GIRL obsessing over Star Wars? That's a first!! How Cool!! ^__^   I think it's okay for anyone to love something a lot but nothing is good to an extreme.

Answer 22

Sure  good for her. Star Wars rocks.

Answer 23

Depends on "how" obsessed.

Will she name her first kid R2-D2?  :P

Answer 24

everybody is different, ppl that r 30 still like star wars, watever fits ur likings is wat u shood stick to, not wat everybody else wants u to do or be

Answer 25

of course! she can be obsessed with w/e she wants

Answer 26

hey, why not, i'm 14, always hated anything girly (princesses, make up, etc. and if you ask me, dresses should be illegal) i never quite got into star wars, i'm more of a lord of the rings fan, somewhat, my sis and dad are too

Answer 27

Yep. I was when I was 8, 9, 10... it's normal. I turned out just fine. She's still a little kid, let her enjoy her fictional heros. It's okay for girls to look up to more powerful/manly characters... wouldn't you rather her be obsessed with characters that are strong, as opposed to... say... "Bratz"?

What's wrong with Star Wars? Don't worry, she's perfectly alright.

Answer 28

Not really, but don't discourage it.
