As Vader reads, the book looks in on favorite creatures, droids, and characters, such as Yoda, R2-D2, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Maul, Admiral Ackbar, Boba Fett, and many others as they tuck in, yawn, and settle down to dream.Īs ever, Jeffrey Brown's charming illustrations and humor glow throughout, playing on children's book conventions to enchant adults and kids alike. In this Episode, the Sith Lord must soothe his rambunctious twins, Luke and Leia-who are not ready to sleep and who insist on a story. I highly recommend this book.It's time for a Star Wars bedtime story in a galaxy far, far away, and Darth Vader's parenting skills are tested anew in this delightful follow-up to the breakout New York Times bestsellers Darth Vader and Son and Vader's Little Princess.įrom Jeffrey Brown, celebrated artist and author of the beloved and bestselling Darth Vader and Family books, including Darth Vader and Friends and A Vader Family Sithmas, comes a Star Wars story to brighten any dark night. Darth Vader and Friends is a quick read, and perhaps a good introduction to the characters for those too young for the films or novels. If you are a fan of Star Wars, have (or know) any kids, and have a sense of humor, you will enjoy this book. The colors used, how the characters act…it’s all consistent with the extablished characters, but with a cuddly feel. Despite all the characters being softened up, the books still have the feel of being in the Star Wars universe. The illustrations are very cute, and children of all ages will find the book amusing and enjoyable. Brown has a wonderful touch, with just the right amount of humor mixed with just enough reality to strike back at seriousness.

Think of the book as a mix of Star Wars and The Far Side. Anyone with kids will completely understand the absurd but realistic situations in which Lord Vader finds himself. It follows Darth Vader as if he was a normal father, interacting with Luke and Leia and their friends.Īs with the others in the series, Darth Vader and Friends is heavy on the humor.

Darth Vader and Friends is another in the series of Star Wars picture books by Jeffrey Brown. “Darth Vader and Friends” by Jeffrey Brown.
