Who doesn’t like a good “dad joke?” Okay, fine, a lot of people, but still…. Dad jokes are universal, mainstream, groan-inducing, good fun. What could make them better? How about an entire volume of paternal wit from a galaxy far, far away? Because that’s exactly what we’re getting from the whimsical mind of author Kelly Knox and illustrator Johnny Sampson. Just in time for Father’s Day, Chronicle Books brings us Star Wars: Dad Jokes.
Q: What did the Mandalorian say when he showed Grogu how to dance?
A: “This is the sway”
I can practically hear the forehead-slapping and under-the-breath chuckling already. You’ll get humor like this and more among the one hundred twenty-eight pages of Knox’s witty tome when it hits bookstores in early April.
