review 1: This is a cute picture book about Darth Vader and a young Luke Skywalker in an everyday parent-child setting. Rather than a story the book is full of amusing snapshots of their life where Vader deals with awkward questions and does unexpectedly caring things for little Luke. I'm sure kids would enjoy the art and familiar moments, both from their lives and from the Star Wars movies. It'd probably be even more appreciated by parents that are Star Wars fans.
review 2: Almost a four star rating. This book was actually hard to rate, as I’d never read anything like it in style or content before. Overall I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of Jeffrey Brown’s work in the future.Darth Vader And Son is a quirky and humours graphic novel of sor... morets based upon the concept of Darth Vader raising his son in every day situations. And it is just that; Darth Vader pouring Luke’s cereal, complaining about his kid not being ready for school on time etc.. but the everyday normality of it is what makes the images themselves so damn funny. It’s a series of images of Luke Sky walker as small child and the mischief he could get up to. It was especially great to be able to pick up prompts and cues from the moves and place Father Vader and son in that scenario. Although a fan of the movies, I’m sure I missed a lot of the cameos and references the book made, but I loved the ones I picked up on.I was a bit disappointed that Brown limited himself to just Luke’s younger years as I would have liked to see things explored beyond what was shown here. I did however love Brown’s illustrations. I’m going on on a limb and saying they were drawn and filled/coloured by pencil, which adds a beautiful essence and shading to the images.This book and its companion Vader’s Little Princess are the perfect book for someone with a sense of humour or a Star Wars fanatic. less

I thought that Vader's Little Princess was hilarious, but this book is even more so! Maybe it's because the child in question is younger (4 years old instead of a teen), and younger children are more prone to highjinx, but I didn't stop laughing the whole way through this book. Brown's comedic timing is perfect and there are some absolutely endearing illustrations. I especially liked the one where Vader forbids Luke to play with Han Solo (the bad influence friend - we all have one), since little Han is so adorable! Can't wait to read Jedi Academy!

It's not everyday you see Darth Vader doing fatherly things, but this adorably charming illustrated picture-book is something special, I can tell you that. I HATE Star Wars, but even non-enthusiasts will get a kick out of seeing such a infamous pop culture icon(who's also known as the Dark Lord and has an impressive array of evil armies) just do average day-to-day things with his young son Luke. It's also hugely witty and even adults can chuckle at the many drawings Jeffrey Brown illustrates.

A fun little light read. Great as a novelty gift.
