Darth Vader in dad mode

Jeffrey Brown recasts familiar Star Wars imagery as scenes from everyday fatherhood, with Darth Vader taking an active role in raising Luke. The humor comes from the collision between the Dark Lord’s imposing identity and ordinary parenting moments: a trip to work on the Death Star, lightsaber practice, or an attempt to reach the cookie jar with the Force. Comic-strip illustrations carry the conceit, turning the galaxy far, far away into a setting for father-son routines and the bond between them. The book’s appeal lies in that playful crossover of space-opera references and family life, rather than in a retelling of the larger Star Wars storyline.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Star Wars fans who enjoy humorous reinterpretations of familiar characters and settings
  • Parents or expectant fathers looking for a Star Wars-themed gift
  • Families interested in a comic-format read-aloud about father-son moments

Book overview

The Star Wars comedy gem that launched the bestselling series! In this comic reimagining, the Dark Lord of the Sith is just like any other dad.From Jeffrey Brown, New York Times bestselling author of the beloved Darth Vader and Family books, including Goodnight Darth Vader, Vader's Little Princess, Darth Vader and Friends, and A Vader Family Sithmas, this must-have for Star Wars fans considers 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 Star Wars reimagining, Darth Vader is a dad like any other--except with all the baggage of being the Dark Lord of the Sith. Brown's delightful illustrations give classic Star Wars moments a fresh parenting books 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. A perfect birthday or Father's Day gift for Star Wars-loving dads and expectant fathers.
