His love for the series, which takes place in a location far away, has not changed as he became a father for the second time. In fact, he has shared his love of the series with his elder daughter, Olympia. The six-year-old has developed a love for the series herself, and her father couldn’t be happier.

 He shared a picture on his social media showing how Olympia created an iconic item from the series. As he showed how Olympia slowly turned into a Star Wars geek, his wife was not far behind as he shared the process by which one can make the iconic weapon from the series.

Like her entrepreneurial father, Olympia has also developed a love for the Sci-fi series created by George Lucas. However, she is getting to enjoy the series in a way her father never did. Recently, the Olympia-Williams household got to visit Savi’s Workshop at Disney World in Florida. There, Olympia got to build her very own lightsaber.

Ohanian shared his pride with his followers on his ‘X’ page as he shared two pictures of Olympia working on the lightsaber. He also wrote the caption, “My beautiful little Jedi didn’t want/need my help building her first lightsaber. 😊 I’ve been looking forward to this moment for years.”
