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.

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.

The second book in this series is better - so keep reading. --Andrew As a mom, I really liked these books - they are clean, entertaining and true to the original movies. --Mom

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

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.

This is a book for young adults. Not for Grown men and Women. It has a great story line. Every Star Wars fan should have it.

The book has adventure in it. I like some of the new characters, especially Trioculus because he is the new emperor and I didn't know there would be a new one. When I read this book, it made me feel like I was there with the action.

This book grabs you from the beginning with an incredible introduction to the new characters and a great plot. (The search for the glove of vader) Young Star Wars fans will LOVE this book!

This book, and all of the series, was porly writen , and made me think that the author didn't do any research at all. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, or the rest of the series.

This book in my opinion is for kids 6-10,no older. When the evil self-proclaimed son of the emperor Trioculus takes hold of the throne (with the help of Grand Moff Hissa & the Commitee of Grand Moffs),only Luke and his friends can stop him. Now Trioculus must find the indestructible right-hand Glove of Darth Vader. Supreme Prophet of the Dark Side Kaddan predicted that the next ruler will wear the Glove of Darth Vader! Then Trioculus gets a message from a imperiel named Captain Dunwell saying that he perhaps has found the Glove of Darth Vader!!! Dunwell runs a factory which butchers Waladones. The whale-like Waladones are intelligent sea creatures that live in the oceans of Mon Calamari. Luke and Acbar go to Mon Calamari to save the Waladons. But the leader Waladon Leviathor (the last great white waladon) is captured by Dunwell. But I won't spoil the suprising conclusions. May I note that the only characters that act like themsalves are C-3PO and R2-D2. The pictures of Luke are highly distorted and Acbar is a wimp. But this is good for kids who are not able to read bigger Star Wars books.
