The Glove of Darth Vader (1992) is the first book of the Jedi Prince series by Paul and Hollace Davids. THE DEATH STAR HAS BEEN DESTROYED. THE EMPIRE IS IN RUINS. BUT THE DARK SIDE LIVES ON.

The Glove of Darth Vader (1992) is the first book of the Jedi Prince series by Paul and Hollace Davids. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and the Rebel Alliance have fought valiantly against the evil Galactic Empire. Together they have kept alive the hopes for freedom, and helped restore the ways of the Old Republic with its wise Senate and noble line of Jedi Knights. But now a new threat awaits the Alliance.

This book takes place a few years after the events of "Return of the Jedi," in a galaxy where the Emperor and Darth Vader are dead but the Empire is still struggling to maintain its hold on the galaxy. The conspiracy remains unresolved by the end of the book (though this being the first in a series, perhaps it's resolved in future books), and the "evil" medical droid never does anything evil except help his Imperial master - we have to take the author's word for it that he's evil, I guess. Also, despite the use of Star Wars characters, worlds, and concepts, this book doesn't feel like a Star Wars book.

Book in the Star Wars: Jedi Prince Series). by Paul Davids and Hollace Davids. Published by Thriftbooks. com User, 20 years ago. I LOVE "THE GLOVE OF DARTH VADER" People who have been badmouthing it are idiots. At the end of the movie trilogy, the Empire was in bad shape. This shows how they re-organized. There's a race to get to be the new Emperor, like King Arthur and the sword - whoever finds Darth Vader's glove (which Luke cut off along with Vader's hand) is the new Emperor. According to a prophecy by a cool new group of Imperials, the Prophets of the Dark Side. R2 and C3PO start out the incredible adventure.

Although the forces of the Rebel Alliance have broken the Galactic Empire, the surviving Imperial warlords continue to fight among themselves while awaiting the appearance of a new Emperor.

I loved this book! The first time I read it it took me about 5 days but it was good. A lot of stuff that happened would never be in a Timothy Zahn type EU. The book is more aimed for ages 7 to 11 with the simple vocabulary and the pictures. It also isn't very graphic when someone gets killed. A typical killing part would be "Luke swung his lightsaber at the stormtrooper and he fell to the ground." But, even though it is old, I love it anyways. I especially love the fight scenes and the characters. There is also a part where they harbor whales and like take their blubber. 'Zorba the Hutt's Revenge' , the sequel would have to be my favorite but I have always loved this one.

My 11 year old son loves it.

great for kids, ages 6-8

A great book to read for any Star Wars fan about the further adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Chewbacca. Plus, along the way with new characters. Two thumbs up!

Okay, I am going to try to review this book for what it is -- a Star Wars book geared toward elementary-school kids. I'm fully aware that as an adult, whose reading tastes lean more toward authors like Anne McCaffrey and Ray Bradbury, I'm going to find this book juvenile, and I need to keep in mind that this is not aimed specifically at me. That, and given that this is a book based on an already existing franchise, I need to lower my expectations -- Timothy Zahn notwithstanding, most Star Wars books are not great literature, though they can be fun to read.

Given all this, however, I think this book still lacks something. It's... okay. It's not terrible, but it's not particularly good either. And it feels rather jarring and out of place in the Star Wars universe.

This book takes place a few years after the events of "Return of the Jedi," in a galaxy where the Emperor and Darth Vader are dead but the Empire is still struggling to maintain its hold on the galaxy. On an espionage mission on the mining planet of Kessel, beloved droids R2D2 and C3P0 stumble upon two disturbing developments -- a three-eyed slavemaster named Trioculus who claims to be Emperor Palpatine's son and the rightful ruler of the Empire, and rumors that Darth Vader's glove not only survived the explosion of the Death Star but can give whoever wears it the same powers and abilities as the infamous Sith Lord. Luke Skywalker sets off to investigate... and uncovers not only a conspiracy between the Moffs and Trioculus, but a plot to exploit the native creatures of the planet Calamari.

The writing in this book is mediocre, even for a children's book. It's flat and unengaging, failing to draw the reader in even during action scenes. The authors (I can't believe it took two people to write this book) don't seem to have a grasp on the world or the characters, so none of the established characters act in ways we expect them to. There are some promising elements in this book -- the Moff conspiracies, the Emperor having an illegitimate son, and the concept of an evil medical droid -- but none of them are executed very well. The conspiracy remains unresolved by the end of the book (though this being the first in a series, perhaps it's resolved in future books), and the "evil" medical droid never does anything evil except help his Imperial master -- we have to take the author's word for it that he's evil, I guess.

Also, despite the use of Star Wars characters, worlds, and concepts, this book doesn't feel like a Star Wars book. The characters are all so bland that one can easily swap their names out for other names and have an original story out of the deal. There are concepts in this book that just don't fit into the Star Wars universe as a whole -- warps and buckles in space (which feel more at home in Star Trek, actually), a glove giving its wearer dark powers (feels more Lord-of-the-Rings-ish), and Darth Vader being able to disintegrate brains with the Force (I thought strangulation was his Force-execution of choice). Trioculus having hypnotic powers despite it being clearly stated that he's not a Force-user doesn't help, either.

And while it was nice to get a look at Calamari, home of Admiral Ackbar's people, I found the plotline with the Empire hunting the Whaladons ham-fisted and silly. A "save the whales" message in a Star Wars book? Really? And the white Whaladon Leviathor... might as well have called him Moby Dick and called it a day. I think the introduction of the Whaladons was the "jumping the shark" point for me in this book, and when I realized the authors weren't even trying.

On a final note, the illustrations in this book don't add much. The established characters, Luke Skywalker especially, look off-model, and the other characters seem to be capable only of two facial expressions -- a dull lifeless look and an evil grin. This book could have done without the pictures, even if it ended up shorter without them.

If your child wants to read a Star Wars book, I'd recommend the "Jedi Apprentice" or "Boba Fett" series over this. This one is bland, unengaging, and edges close to being a Star Wars book in name only, and the blatant Author Tract with the "save the Whaladons" plot doesn't help the book's case at all. Even completists who want to read every book in the Star Wars "Expanded Universe" probably won't get much out of this book or its accompanying series, as it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the universe very well. Probably best only for die-hard collectors.

It was a quick and a rather enjoyable read. I read it within a day, it's only 82 pages long. I find many of these books that take place after Return of the Jedi pretty interesting even if some of them are aimed at kids. It you grew up on Star Wars and if you still have that childish sparkle in your eye this might give you some enjoyment. The black and white sketches that depicts characters, ships and locations are fun to look at. They are on almost every other page.
Not sure why Luke is holding a Blue Lightsaber on the cover, it should be Green. Also Han and Leia are barley in it. So not sure why they are on the cover. Admiral Ackbar had a bigger role in the story than they did.
There is also an anti-whaling subplot to the story along with with a save the endangered species message. They also link the killing of these Whale like species to increasing the threat of global climate change. Apparently the Whales are very intelligent and can sing songs. So if you have a liberal kick to your step you may appreciate this subplots. :)

I think these books take place after Truce at Bakura So I have placed themon the timeline at year 5 and 6 ANH. Are these 12 year old books worth reading? Who should read them?
I came across 3 of these, books 1, 4 and 6 of 6 written b the Davids. They are simple stories and come illustrated in simple pen and ink. They are not relavent to the EU, but they are nice little stories about the star wars characters for younf listeners and readers. When reading to the young you need help holding their attention especially my ADHD son. Pictures help. That is also why I have turned to buying and reading the dark horse comics about star wars.
Which is better? I like the comics better, but sometimes, with all those beautifully colored and inked pictures and the varying panels, it is hard for the kids to follow. But these simple little bantam Skylark books are sometimes perfect. Amazon actually had 73 new and used of the 1st book in the series when I wrote this in 2003.

Well.... This book would be good if you happen to be ten years old. For me, even at age ten it didn't quite have the Star Wars feel, though I did find it interesting enough to want to read the rest of the series. Continuity though is important to me, and this book had none of it. However I will say that this series would be good for kids too young to read say, Heir to the Empire, but would still like to know what happened next. I personally thought that the characters did not act like they should, and the writing was somewhat cheesy. Older fans would definitly do better with Young Jedi Knights or some of the adult novels.
