Since she first gave birth to her, Emily Rose had always hoped her daughter would come to share her love for Star Wars.

Seven years later and it's pretty evident that wish was fulfilled.

When "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" came out and Rose took her to see it on opening weekend, she immediately fell in love with the movie's co-lead character, Rey.

“Here was a young girl learning to use the Force like a Jedi, and flying the Millennium Falcon, and shooting a blaster,” Rose said. “It was amazing, and I was happy she loved Rey, and that she could imagine herself as the hero of the story.”

After spending weeks looking for an action figure of the heroine, Rose realized she needed to do more - namely, paint a mural of the character in her daughter's room.

“Her big brother went on a tirade asking how they could leave Rey out of sets because it made it impossible to act out scenes from the movie,” Rose said. “But when she got that toy, she was just so excited, and that put the plan in motion.”

After the painting was complete, Rose showed it to her daughter, who immediately lost it upon seeing it.

“Her reaction was hysterical,” said Rose of her daughter. “She flattened herself to the wall trying to hug that mural, and cheered with joy, and then flung herself on the floor.”

Suffice it to say she was psyched beyond words.

Any time the shoes inexplicably come off, you know they're excited.

Within minutes, Rose said her daughter had put on her Rey outfit, grabbed her lightsaber, and began reading Star Wars books aloud to the mural and her stuffed BB-8 and R2-D2.

Just way too adorable.

Just another phase in the "evolution of a tiny fangirl," Rose said on Twitter.

“She’s always loved Star Wars, and now she gets to be a Jedi just like her big brother,” she says.

“The Force is strong in our family,” Rose added. “And always has been.”
