Product Description
Soon after Luke, Princess Leia, and Han help restore the ways of the Old Republic, they must face the machinations of the surviving Imperial warlords who have been fighting among themselves for power.

From the Publisher
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.

Within the evil Empire, the surviving Imperial warlords have been fighting among themselves for power. No one knows who will seize control, but the Prophets of the Dark Side have foretold that soon a new Emperor will arise, and on his right hand he shall wear an indestructible symbol of evil. ®, (TM) and © 1995 Lucasfilm Ltd.

5.0 out of 5 stars People, these were wrote for children! Not adults!, March 5, 1999

By	[e-mail] (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Glove of Darth Vader (Hardcover)

These books were meant for children NOT ADULTS! Therefore they need not be constant with the other books that were made for big boys and girls! I really don't think a child will care weather or not Luke flies a Y-wing or X-wing or if it doesn't correspond with the Thrawn trilogy! Children most likely wouldn't be found reading a novel like Heir to the Empire anyway! I bought this book for my friend's younger brother and I skimmed through it. No, TARKIN WAS NOT THE ONLY GRAND MOFF! IN THE MOVIES YES, BUT IN THE GALAXY, NO! DARTH VADER WAS THE ONLY DARK LORD OF THE SITH IN THE MOVIES BUT THERE WERE OBVIOUSLY MORE OF THEM BEFORE HIM! If you're mad at this author for it then also be mad at Zhan because in the Hand of Thrawn saga one of his bad guys is (suprise suprise) a Grand Moff! These stories entertained my friend's little brother greatly. He felt like he was like his big brother and me who were always talking about all the Star Wars novels. These are excellent books for the younger generation that they were meant for. Face it. Star Wars isn't just for the 20+ year old age group it once was. The Special Edition changed that, therefor it was a success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! The Empire is REALLY striking back now!, June 2, 1999

By A Customer

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. A MUST READ! If adults don't like it, they should go back to HEIR TO THE EMPIRE and stop insulting books that work for us. A 5th grader. P.S. The whole series by Paul and Hollace Davids is great. Pam
