May 4th is Star Wars day, and so of course there's some promotion for
Darth Vader and son happening. On
starwars.com, you can download a wallpaper designed from the above drawing of Luke making Vader play with him, and over at
threadless.com, you can watch a short interview about making the book.
This book strikes a chord with my son and I. He's only 2 and he think's that Darth Vader is really me. I was Darth Vader for his first dress up Halloween in the neighborhood. He went as Yoda, and his mom was sporting the Leia buns. I got the costume a few days before and was trying it on around the house to get a feel for it, to make adjustments, etc. I even had the little electronic Vader breath soundbox you could stick inside the helmet. If you asked him today, while pointing at a picture of Darth Vader and ask, "Who is that?" The answer at the moment is "Papa!" This is one of our favorite books!
