Darth Vader and Son by Jeffrey BrownMy rating: ★★★☆☆
In Episode 3½: Darth Vader and Son, Jeffrey Brown presents an amusing alternate reality in which Darth Vader is raising his four-year-old twins himself. (While this book focuses on Luke, there is also one for Leia.)
It's definitely worth a chuckle to watch little Luke ask his father where babies come from, try to steal a cookie jar with the Force, pester his dad about whether the Sith are really the good guys, and just generally be a normal kid... who happens to have a Sith Lord for a father.
Fans and others familiar with the Star Wars universe (the original trilogy, at the very least) should find this a cute, rather funny, and super quick read. And I'll definitely be checking out Vader's Little Princess when I get the chance.
