Now we know a bit of what Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are up to during their respective paternity and maternity leaves: Obsessing on "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" like the rest of the world.

"The force is strong with this one," he wrote on Facebook, captioning a picture of daughter Max that shows the baby girl swaddled in a Jedi brown robe with Chewbacca, Darth Vader, BB-8 and a lightsaber in toy form arranged around her.

You look great, kid. Don't get cocky.

With his wife, the founder of the social-media giant revealed Max's arrival on Dec. 1, then the two promptly announced they were setting up a foundation tasked with giving away, over time, multiple billions from his offspring's Facebook-based inheritance.

"We will give 99% of our Facebook shares — currently about $45 billion — during our lives to advance this mission," they wrote after calling out their over-arching focus: advancing human potential and promoting equality. "We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues. But we want to do what we can, working alongside many others."

Hardly the Dark Side.
