This and Darth Vader and Son were the stars of the Scholastic book sale this week, timed to coincide with parent teacher conferences and each child made a wish list...easy! Convenient! Expensive! Because I already spent a kajillion dollars at the book sale, I put both these books on hold at the library. This quick read was a fun look at Darth Vader dealing with parenting his little girl. Silly fun, which is about all I can handle these days! 3 stars
So cute
”Behave yourself, or my Dad will totally kill you.”I have flashed my sci-fi geek badge once or twice around the GR block, but I don’t believe I’ve gushed about my fascination…love…obsession with Star Wars. :DIt is flat out scary how many times I have seen the movies. My blood now pumps in rhythm to the theme song! And…(view spoiler)[Han Solo was my very first Hollywood crush. *sigh* (hide spoiler)] Over the years, I have developed an additional layer of love to the obsession though—watching the...
Although there is not really much if any continuous storyline depicted in Jeffery Brown's Vader's Little Princess, the short little comic-book episodes of Star War's Darth Vader as a single father to Princess Leia have indeed been a fun and engaging (ten minute or so) reading interlude (with appealing, often wildly hilarious illustrations, with Jefferey Brown also depicting, describing scenarios both funny and relatable and of course, all of the allusions to the Star Wars movies being a pure joy...
Maybe not as good as previous one, but this still was an excellent and hilarious follow-up to first volume.The Force is strong in this book.
Could not help but think of Carrie Fisher as I read this book...so my review is more than likely influenced by how sad I was to hear of her passing. Took me back to the summer of Star Wars - a great summer for me.
My Review: 6 - Worth Reading, with Reservations So I was utterly charmed by Brown's previous Star Wars contribution, Darth Vader and Son, and absolutely had to pre-order Vader's Little Princess as soon as I was able. Because Leia! And the art, yet again, is cute and a lot of fun, but I had one quibble with this book: the author has sons, and his Darth Vader and Son, while obviously showing father & son activities, really felt universal, stuff that you could see doing with your dad whether you
it's so cute.. it really makes me sad that Vader didn't get a chance to be a father
;)I am disgusted by this book. How dare Jeffrey Brown play fast and loose with Star Wars continuity?! Darth Vader was not a "single Dad" just trying to be the best Dad he could be. He was the most vile, most villainous henchman of the Empire. He was responsible for multiple murders, took part in genocides, he was damn near irredeemable, and here Brown is trying to make us think he was somehow kind and playful, just a good Dad in a tough situation.I'll tell you what this is: it is an insult to al...
More of the same and in this case it's good :)
This is a sweet book with charming pictures of Darth Vader raising his little princess. And, it's not easy for the Dark Lord of Sith to get his teenage daughter to do as he wants.Still I prefer Darth Vader and Son to this book. This book was not funny in the same way as the previous book was.
Dart Vader is a single father who struggle to raise her daughter...and until more grows everything gets more complicated. The book about Luke was really good, but this is better!!! Is more cute and funny especially because Vader must "support" Leia's relationship with Solo...Geez, this thing let some jewels like these:Honestly, these situations aren't be funny if Vader wasn't the main character but, Who cares! I really like how Brown breaks the Star Wars continuity, the way he gave a spin to sit...
This was pretty darn cute.I really liked how (for the most part) all Vader's lines were direct quotes from the movies used in new funny ways.I'm looking forward to checking out the other Vader picture books in this series!
It takes about ten minutes to read and is quite funny. This was my favorite page:
I saw this at the bookstore and thought it would be the perfect gift to get my hubby for our daughter's Father's Day present! It being perfect because this family LOVES Star Wars and because we got our daughter's name from Princess Leia. Believe me, when he saw this he definitely got a kick out of it!!Fun to read with comical and creative illustrations!A joy to read for anyone :)
3.5 starsI think Darth Vader and Son was so much better than this one but I still laughed so many times! ^^ARTWORK:
What can I say? I thought the Darth Vader and Son book was a little better, and this was kind of more of the same thing.I DO think it's funny, reading other reviews, that people think it's stereotypical. I mean, yeah, it's stereotypical that a dad would have arguments with his daughter about leaving the house in a belly shirt. But I think that's really the whole point here. Leia is used as a device to put Darth Vader in humorous situations, not the other way around. It's funny to watch Darth Vad...
These books are the best thing. As I sat reading them I was so excited to have kids of my own one day, so I could read these to them.But then I realized they're pretty spoilery, and would I rather have my kids enjoy these when they're kids OR watch their faces as it is revealed that Darth Vader is Luke's father? Thank god I have many years to figure out the answer.
After reading Darth Vader and Son, I had to try this as well! It is just as adorable! Like with Darth Vader and Son, this is geared toward adults, specifically parents. I believe than any parent can relate to these books. They are truthful, draw off of a well known nerdy fandom, and are just plain humorous. This is a must read for any nerdy parents out there. Anyone that adores Star Wars would get a kick out of it as well. Very well played, Mr. Brown.
Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you! :DJust like Darth Vader and Son, this installment is something that would be a cute gift from a girl who had been introduced to Star Wars by her father. Something where in a large percent is likely lost on children, but would be appreciated by adult fans. (Probably especially those who remember when they watched the films with their own precocious little padawans.)Just as cute as the first one, and I might even like it better just because of Leia. <3...
