Star Wars and satire fans rejoice! Like the amazing William Shakespeare's Star Wars books, here is another book in a series that takes what we love and pokes fun at it in a way that is never hurtful, but always hilarious.
Darth Vader and Friends
Star Wars
by Jeffrey Brown
Chronicle Books
April 2015
This collection of comics runs the gamut of "awww" (like Lando, Leah, Han and Luke sitting together watching the suns set, saying, "I've got a good feeling about this!") to the silly (ghosts Yoda and Obi Wan telling Darth Vader, "Look Anakin. If you want to hang out with us you're gonna have to take off the helmet.) Most of the comics are from the perspective of the kids and they do childish things (drawing all over attack maps, etc). Some take favorite phrases from the original trilogy and flip them on their head through the mouths of children.
This is a whimsical, easy read that makes for a perfect gift book for fans of either humor or Star Wars.
