In this irresistibly funny follow-up to the breakout bestseller Darth Vader and Son, Vader—Sith Lord and leader of the Galactic Empire—now faces the trials, joys, and mood swings of raising his daughter Leia as she grows from a sweet little girl into a rebellious teenager. Smart and funny illustrations by artist Jeffrey Brown give classic Star Wars moments a twist by bringing these iconic family relations together under one roof. From tea parties to teaching Leia how to fly a TIE fighter, regulating the time she spends talking with friends via R2-D2's hologram, and making sure Leia doesn't leave the house wearing only the a skirted metal bikini, Vader's parenting skills are put hilariously to the test.

I liked it. For a book that takes probably ten minutes to read, it's pretty cute. It's more cutesy comedy than anything truly plot related, but I enjoyed it. I feel like it would do better as a weekly webcomic kind of thing. My initial exposure to it was on the internet through someone sharing a picture, probably on facebook or tumblr. You can tell the author really loves Star Wars.

I would recommend this to people who aren't cool with taking a joke. This comic series is obviously not canon to the movies, books, or anything else. They're just cute. And if you're worried it might not be family appropriate, trust me: you're totally fine to read this with your kids. Most of the jokes are more for adult fans, but nothing's inappropriate to share with your toddler who loves the movies.
