None of my own but I indoctrinate my sisters' kids like they're mine.
A few times while babysitting one niece when she was around 6 or 7, she would get my Millenium Falcon, raise it over her head, and fly it around the living room, with her own sound effects and all. Wish I took pictures.
When my nephews were around 1, I showed them the rancor. Scared the crap out of one. The second thought it was a chew toy and started gnawing on the claws.
About the same time, I brought out the naboo fighter. One of them lifted it with both hands as best as he could, made a whirring sound, and moved it back and forth. This surprised me since he had never seen TPM but he knew it was meant to fly.
When the boys were around 3-4, I let them borrow my lightsabers. They took it to my mom's, who babysat them while their parents were at work. I stopped by and my mom was immediately on my case. Something about her displays getting attacked by the boys. But hearing her rant about it paled in comparison to seeing it.
I wasn't there long before one of the boys grabbed a saber, extended it, raced to the cabinets, and just slashed away, left and right. Busted curio pieces were just flying. The sight of this little boy trying to control the saber that was longer than he was tall, and laughing hysterically, still makes me laugh.
