Nauvoo the Planet?

My church does a worldwide General Conference twice a year where our leaders speak to us about the issues they feel we could be encouraged by. It's always very, very uplifting for me and I'm glad they do it.


However, it's always a challenge to get my young kids to settle down and listen to any of it. This time it went better than usual. They all picked up on a few things here and there, giving me hope. During one of the talks, the speaker mentioned Nauvoo, a city in Illinois our pioneers started; a very important place in our history. Apparently we don't discuss historical landmarks enough at the dinner table, because here's what happened: (my formatting isn't working, sorry)

Son: Did he just say Nauvoo? Me: Yes, we'll take you there someday honey. Son: Like in Star Wars? Me: (what is he talking about?) Paul: No, Amidala's planet was called Naboo, not Nauvoo
