Imagine the world's biggest Star Wars fan is also an artist and then becomes a dad. Aside from naming his two boys Luke and Hans (not really), he decides to write a couple of books where he imagines Darth Vader parenting his twins.

The real-life result are two books, Darth Vader and Son, which is already a best seller and now the follow-up Vader's Little Princess. The new book shows how author Jeffrey Brown sees the Dark Lord of the Sith as a father to his daughter Leia.

Here are some of our favourite illustrations from both books. Darth Vader takes an active role in raising his son and daughter, tackling such issues as using The Force to raid the cookie jar, what would happen on Take Your Child to Work Day and plenty of other typical parental scenarios.

Read on and may The Force be with you.
