Reviews

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorites in the set are “Darth Vader and Son” and “Vader’s Little Princess.” I think it’s hilarious how the author takes lines from the films and incorporates them into a different story line as Vader raises Luke and Leia. These are really fun books that can appeal to young kids and adults can also enjoy.

Cute series of illustrations featuring everyone's favorite people from a galaxy far, far away. These cartoons don't really follow a plot so much as they all revolve around a theme. Goodnight Darth Vader was my favorite.

[Cris · Rating 3 out of 5]

E-books. Not great literature but funny enough for the kid who isn’t ready for chapter books.

Very fun illustrations and funny! Purchased them after borrowing from library. So good for any star war fans collection.

“Vader's Little Princess” (Star Wars) by Jeffrey Brown
Comical twist.
My favourite is:
Leia: “... and then I said, 'I love you'..”
“... and all he said back was, 'I know.'”
“'I know' … what does that mean?!”
Vader: “Uh, well … that he knows you love him?”
Leia: (sob)

“Darth Vader and Son” (Star Wars) by Jeffrey Brown
My favourites are:
Vader: “When I was your age, we didn't even have star destroyers...”
(and)
Playing hide-and-seek: “Eight … Nine … Ten! You cannot hide forever, Luke. Your thoughts betray you.”

“Goodnight Darth Vader” (Star Wars) by Jeffrey Brown
My favourites are:
“Yawning is the path to bedtime. Yawning leads to weariness. Weariness leads to lying down. Lying down leads to sleep...”

“It's too hard to sleep for Han Solo and Chewie,
In this wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

“Goodnight Falcon, sleep tight.
Don't let the space slug bite.”

“The suns of Tatooine have set in the west,
It's time for the Sarlac to sleep and digest.”

“Darth Vader and Friends”

Another fun series of Star Wars spoof cartoons.

“These aren't the droids you're looking for.”
“These aren't the droids you're looking for.”
“Move along.”
“Move along.”
“Stop repeating everything I say”
“Stop repeating everything I say”
