My son — who is six — and I were watching TWiT 266 tonight while I was making dinner. Leo came to the ad for TWiT network sponsor Carbonite Pro, and my son's eyes lit up.

Child: Mom! They're talking about Carbonite!

Parent: Yes, they're a cool company that's a sponsor on our network. We use them to back up our computers and keep our stuff safe.

Child: [pauses] ...Do they have a license from George Lucas??

Parent: Good question!

(Turns out they don't need one. But you never know.)

Child: Nope. I'm using The Force.

Child:  That would be deLIGHTful.

Visiting Parent of Girl Children:  Great!  We can decorate them with hearts, stars...

Child:  I'll take Star Wars, please.

A Galaxy Not So Far Away

I love these paintings by Xander Laytin (more), found via Don Shump on Geek Dad, in their Star Wars category.  I'm also thinking you add a black circle to a big Chinese lantern and you're talking Death Star.
