My mum used to love doing "Star Wars days" in the school holidays when we were kids.
We'd get all the star wars toys out that we'd bought at car boot sales for a pound and play with them, while watching all three films back-to-back.
Now I get to write (and write about) Scifi.

My mum also used Star Wars AND Doctor Who to get me reading early.
I remember we had to do a reading test at school with an external assessor in (now) Year 6.
ASSESSOR: Want to pick a book off the shelf?
ME: Can I read my own? <pulls out Target novelisation of The Dæmons> 😆

My mum and dad also made me go to Cubs and Scouts every Friday, which eventually I came to enjoy a lot and taught me to be more confident and build up practical skills.
So I'm with @S_Mittermeier. Accept that kids can enjoy varied things and they can ALL develop them, with care.

I still haven't forgiven my dad for taping over our copy of Empire Strikes Back with an episode of Wogan though.
We used to have to go down the video shop and rent that one for Star Wars days.
