    About this ebook

    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.

      Read this to the girls tonight for our bedtime story. Really funny though some of the Leia as a teenager jokes went over their heads (though my nine year old got most of them). Fun Star Wars jokes/parodies that had the girls laughing.

      A few to many cliches about little girls, but little Leia with Darth is always funny.

      Amusing but a little less surprising and fun than the first book of the series.

      Love this series!Only fans of Star Wars will find this book entertaining.

      In this tale, we visit upon one author's thoughts of what it might have been like if Darth Vader had raised Princess Leia. The story is told primarily in pictures through the teen years.The pictures are very detailed and enhance and/or explain the limited text . Both create a humorous and fun narrative for multiple ages.There are multiple references to the Star Wars movies, as well as, as co-starring role from Luke.Overall, a fun read.

      I actually enjoyed this a little more than the first one, maybe because I'm a girl and could relate more to having had some of these experiences myself at one time. Anyway, as opposed to the "Son" book, I actually thought a couple of these were funny and certainly "got" more of the humour. Still, I have to say I don't think it is anything special though I do love the art, especially Vader's awkwardness at being a "Dad". Again as the first book, I think the best audience for this book is Dads, and it would make a good Father's Day present for the Star Wars fan Dad of a daughter.

      This is a great collection of illustrations of Darth Vader, spending quality time with his little girl, Princess Leia. It follows Leia as a small girl to Leia as an attitude and angst ridden teen, Vader has to deal with the complexities of being her father.I liked the illustrations of Vader holding back his first reaction to keep from hurting his daughter's feelings, or where he is patient with her when he really doesn't want to be. But the ones where Leia introduces her boyfriend, an adolescent Han Solo are hilarious.This is an excellent book for any nerd dad. Even Lord Vader finds parenthood challenging.

      A Christmas gift from my daughter who knows me well. Nicely illustrated; made me laugh.
    • 5/5
      All of these Star Wars books by Jeffrey Brown are super cute and well drawn. They aren't super funny but they did make me smile a lot.

      Probably best given as gifts for the Star Wars fan that has everything!

      So, you guys are going to get sick of me calling Brown's artwork and storytelling style charming, but it is. And charming isn't usually my thing, but it's so well done, and so funny, that I keep coming back. And like with Vader and Son, this takes completely normal situations between a father and daughter, and turns them on their head by using Vader and Leia, which just adds to the, well, charm of this book. Library book. It's a quick, easy read, but again, I probably won't be buying this one. I like the Change-bots much more, and will invest in those instead.

      Just as funny as the earlier "Darth Vader and Son". I am so going to have to add them to my collection.

      Personal favorite: In the first half of the page, Darth Vader is speaking to IG-808 (the bounty hunting robot, "You are free to use any means necessary, but I want them alive. No disintegrations!" The second half of the page then shows Luke and Leia bouncing on their beds giggling as a disgruntled IG-808 tries to get them to calm down, "Luke, Leia it is bedtime---" "Stop." "Children you need to go to sleep..." "%*%$&*"

      Hilarious!

      At times, raising his daughter Leia is more trouble than being a leader of the evil Galactic Empire. Fun parody.
    • 4/5
      Pretty funny, especially since I am a father too! You really have to know the original trilogy to get all the jokes, both the words and the illustrations! My favorite by far is on the back cover (and inside too!) - "You are not going out dressed like that!". Crack up
    • 4/5
      Very funny, but confusingly structured -- would've preferred it follow their relationship chronologically. But cute!
    • 4/5
      Great read. Much better than Vader & Son, to be honest.
    • 4/5
      Awesome children's book!
    • 4/5
      Cute and familiar to parents. Uses some characters, situations, and quotes from the movies, but does not attempt any coherent congruency.

      My Review: 6 - Worth Reading, with ReservationsSo 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 were a boy or a girl. With Vader's Little Princess, I couldn't help but feel the author was having to reach for daughter stereotypes: the dad hating the boyfriend, the daughter listening to loud music and wearing clothes that are too revealing. Like the daughter looking at a closet full of clothes and complaining of having nothing to wear, or dragging her father to the ballet. Some of it was cute, mind, and there's a reason it's a stereotype, but it just wasn't really Leia. Leia, who's tough as nails. That bothered me a bit, but I could be overreacting. However, one thing I noted: in Vader's Little Princess, Leia has to share 8 panels with Luke. In Darth Vader & Son, Luke shares a grand total of one single panel with Leia. Erm….I'm sure I'm overreacting. I just wish THIS book was as clever as the previous one. For those of you who've "read" both, thoughts?
