Our hero is young Roan Novachez, a young boy from the desert planet of Tatooine (where all the most popular Star Wars protagonists seem to come from), who has just finished primary school and is ready to fulfill his life-long dream to follow his father and older brother into Pilot School, only to find he’s been rejected. Think Dork Diaries, Dear Dumb Diary, and the like, only set in the Star Wars universe. His new Star Wars: Jedi Academy blends those two types of his work into one, a Star-Wars-and-Jeffrey-Brown version of a Diary of a Wimpy Kid-style book.

Looking back, then, his latest work seems almost inevitable. More recently, Brown has made many more fans with his Darth Vader & Son and Vader’s Little Princess cartoon books, which presented one-panel gags riffing on the idea of Darth Vader raising his kids Luke and Leia, a sort of Star Wars version of The Family Circus (only funnier than either of those), drawn in Brown’s own inimitable deceptively simple, sketchbook style.

Cartoonist Jeffrey Brown made a name for himself in the 2000s with a series of self-published black-and-white, highly confessional autobiographical graphic novels, like Clumsy, Unlikely and AEIOU.
