baby darth maulThe force is strong with this one. Seriously! I mean, come on -- Darth Maul is a badass! He took out Qui-Gon Jinn! (Liam Neeson, ladies.)

But apparently the Sith lord is no match for a baby in feet pajamas.

Full disclosure: I knew next to nothing about Star Wars until my son developed a full-blown obsession with the series a few years ago. At the time, he wasn't much bigger than the cutie in this video -- and the ferocious-looking Darth Maul was his favorite "guy" from the start.

Young padawan, I see many trips to the Star Wars aisle of "Toys R'Us" in your parents' future ...

If you've got a little Luke Skywalker wannabe in your house, you know just what I'm talking about. How many light sabers do we have? I've lost count. Never mind how many Star Wars "guys" total -- I don't even know how many Darth Vader action figures we're up to now. (In all fairness, his arms and legs fall off way too easily. Out of the 10 or so Darth Vaders in my son's toy box, only 1 of them has both arms AND both legs.)

And after watching this video?


I'm going to go out on a limb and say this family will go through their fair share of plastic Darth Maul banks.

Do you have a kid who loves Star Wars?
