Synopsis
What if
Darth Vader took an active role in raising his son? What if Luke, I am your
father was just a stern admonishment from an annoyed dad? In this hilarious and
sweet comic reimagining, Darth Vader is a dad like any other except with all
the baggage of being the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Celebrated
artist Jeffrey Brown's delightful illustrations give classic Star Wars moments
a fresh twist, presenting the trials and joys of parenting through the lens of
a galaxy far, far away. Life lessons include lightsaber batting practice, using
the Force to raid the cookie jar, Take Your Child to Work Day on the Death Star
(Er, he looks just like you, Lord Vader!), and the special bond shared between
any father and son.
Review
Darth
Vader and Son is a wonderful and adorable picture book.
Jeffrey
Brown did a great job doing a show and tell of the “what if’s” between Darth
Vader and Luke, there is a real sense of parent-child love in realistic scenarios
with the perfect Star Wars twist.
Even if
the dialog is done to a minimum the messages or little adventures that our
character go through are not lost. I feel that it enhances the experience
letting the reader add a little of his/her self into the mix.
If you
are a fan of the Star Wars movies Darth Vader and Son is the perfect choice for
you! It doesn’t matter if you have or don’t have kids, and it is specially
recommended for those that would like a tad of cuteness from Star Wars.
