Yesterday, I checked the mail and was happily surprised to see this:
I put it back in the mailbox for Ryley to find after school.
Absolutely thrilled!
The form letter was from George Lucas’ “personal secretary” and thanked Ryley for being a fan, apologized for a less-than-personal response to his letter, and pointed him toward two books about George Lucas (Ryley has read one of them already). Folded inside the letter was a package of Revenge of the Sith tattoos.
Of course there was nothing regarding R2-D2 and Ryley’s dream of meeting him. I think he was slightly disappointed, but still happy that his efforts were acknowleged.
(the “backstory” is here)
I LOVE the picture of him jumping for joy with the letter in hand! So cute!
Oh my goodness- those pictures. He is the sweetest thing.

Sweet boy!
Oh, I’m so glad he heard back (even if it was just a form letter) – those pictures are priceless!
Yeah, that expression on his face is priceless. Pure glee and anticipation of what’s inside!
Hey, you have tulips! Maybe spring has sprung in your neck of the woods after all. 🙂
Oh, I’m SO glad he got a response, even if it was just a form letter. Plus, it was a timely response!
Yay for Lucasfilm.
PS – Your tulips are beautiful.
I love our tulips, too. Definately worth the wait!
Oh thank goodness he at least got something. And that was prompt! And go you for being ready with the camera. That picture is priceless.
Oh thank goodness – that one with him and the letter – oh the excitement. I’m so glad they at least wrote back – that was nice!
Wow, that was quick! I’m so glad he got an acknowledgement of some sort, even it was a “less-than-personal” letter. He looks overjoyed!
Too cool! Kudos to Lucas Film for a quick response. What positive reinforcement for writing. 🙂 Now he can write David Haselhoff to how he fit into the R2D2 costume.
BTW, my mom-in-law calls R2D2 “RD-Doody” most of the time. I think it’s a throwback to Howdy Doody.
Oh I’m so happy that he at least got a response. I know it wasn’t what he was hoping for, but when your whole world revolves around checking the mail everyday….I’d hate to think he would become bitter at such a tender age or quit reaching for the sky.
How wonderful that he received a response so SOON, even if it was just a form letter.
I’m going to blame it on my pregnant hormones, but that picture of him jumping for joy got me all teary eyed. What a precious photo.
Wow, that was a speedy reply! Great pics!
Ahhhwww..glad he got a reponse
