angel?

We have now introduced William to all three original Star Wars movies. He got to see Return of the Jedi for the first time Friday night. During the beginning when they are trying to rescue Han Solo and Luke sends c-3PO and R2-D2 to Jaba the Hutt, William looked at the video projection of Luke Skywalker and said, "Angel." Daddy and I looked at each other and then asked William about it again. He repeated it was an angel. We haven't really talked about angels with William, so our first thought is which angels has William seen? Has he been visited by an angel?

Yesterday during Sunday School, we studied Jesus going up on the mountain with Peter, James, and John when Jesus' face starts glowing like the sun and his clothes become a dazzling, glowing white. Moses and Elijah also appear. At the end of the lesson, we had coloring sheets of Jesus on the mountain for the children to color. William colored Jesus with his yellow crayon to make him glow. Then he asked Mommy to help him draw wings on Jesus--again invoking an image of an angel. Hmmm...
