It ’s hard enough invoke a child to be a responsible for geek . It ’s a bunch like curating a museum — gathering the right materials , arrange them properly , creating a narration flow that will softly unfold their eyes to the resplendence of the imaginary . And , for oddball like me — geeks for whom Star Wars is a primal influence — George Lucas ’ saga is a waypoint in that flow of unparalleled grandness .
So conceive of my surprise while reading a book visit Star Wars : Luke Skywalker ’s Amazing Story to my six - year - sometime son — who has yet to make it past A New Hope — and I amount upon the following the moment :
Luke ’s father is call Anakin Skywalker . Anakin Skywalker was once a Jedi , like Obi - Wan Kenobi . But Anakin turned to the Dark Side of the Force . Then he became known as Darth Vader .

Just like that , this book throw away off the most virile revelation in the entire Star Wars saga . A revelation that , as a Builder of Young Geeks , I hoped would hold the same uncorrupted kick that detonated my genius when I was his age . Now , the most I can hope for is that he ’ll bury when we get around to watch Empire .
I ’m all for simplify a story so that beginning readers can make it through without too many hurdles to sympathy . But , sweet jeebus , a little upkeep to protect but the inherent value of the franchise — as well as the eventual enjoyment of said franchise — would be nice .
