“Dear Luke, We Need to Talk, Darth is proof that a funny book on pop culture doesn't have to be snide and nasty. I loved everything about it.” —Jim Gaffigan
We all know how Darth Vader shared his big secret with Luke Skywalker, but what if he had delivered the news in a handwritten note instead? And what if someone found that letter, as well as all of the drafts that landed in the Dark Lord’s trash can? In the riotously funny collection Dear Luke, We Need to Talk. Darth, John Moe finally reveals these lost notes alongside all the imagined letters, e-mails, text messages, and other correspondences your favorite pop culture icons never meant for you to see.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first picked this up but I have to admit I was completely entertained. I feel bad for my family because I was constantly calling them over to read different section. It was funny in parts because of it’s ridiculousness, like one of Jay-z’s 99 problems being the direction Doctor Who is taking. And others because it’s something we’ve always thought about, like how Popeye’s spinach was actually drug.
There were parts I had to skip, for example I’ve never seen The Walking Dead and therefore reading about their I.M’s and emails I wouldn’t make me laugh, or make much sense. I did like how after most sections there were super bowl ideas for the half time compared to what actually happened.
Overall it was such a fun and imaginative read that goes by pretty quickly. Recommended for anyone who likes to laugh and is all caught up in pop culture. Since this is such a short review, I’m making up for it by having a giveaway!
