I think I remember that book being about some kind of prophecy that whoever had the glove could rule the Empire. Holy shit, they were some terrible books.timdiggerm said:

I'm sure that the book is all about someone finding his discarded original gloves and using the DNA on them to clone the Imperial slaves who hand-stitched his gloves.

After some Wookieepedia browsing, I can confirm this is true. Also, it's the book with Trioculus, Palpatine's three-eyed son.
Actually, Trioculus was a pretender. Triclops was Palpatine's real three-eyed mutant son.
But yes -- the Jedi Prince series is crap, Zorba the Hutt's awesome dreads notwithstanding. Still, I continue to love Karl Kesel's interior artwork.
Wow, I remember those books. They sure were pretty terrible . . .
Even as a kid, I automatically rejected them as being a legitimate part of the Star Wars story, since they contradicted other things so much and just didn't fit in terms of tone or style.
This picture is perfectly ludicrous:
^ Who is "I"? I can't find that character on Wookieepedia.

LOL.
Amazing this hasn't been done before.

They weren't terrible. I'll take ball-to-the-wall insanity over "Let's parse the Mardalorian language" or "Lets make fictional debates about the meaning of the Force" or "Lets explain the change in uniform on clones between AOTC and ROTS" any day of the week.

There are Buddha statues of other characters too, but Yoda seems to work best.

That's not "Mint-Green", that's olive green. I'm complaining to eBay.

Now, now. I'm sure in some stages of decay, mint is that shade of green.
Though I'm disappointed David Lynch never got to direct ROTJ, in the end I think it was for the best. Lucas would have still gone ahead and made his SEs, and, to be quite frank, the very idea of Lucas desecrating a Lynch film verges on the profane for me.

Never even knew there was an option for that to happen (Lynch directing ROTJ).
Much as I like Lynch's work, I'm not sure if he would have been a good fit for the SW main series though... there's an essential feeling of 'campiness' running through it all (heresy!) that I'm not sure Lynch would have been able to support.
George took Lynch up to the ranch and offered him the job.
Lynch says, even though he was offered the job, there was never a moment when him directing a Star Wars movie was a possibility.
Dune more than proves he could have pulled it off.
Has Lynch ever taken a directing gig on someone else's baby though?
Where were you in '77?
Lynch has stuck with his own projects ever since Dune was made. He's a guy who likes making movies his own way without any studio interference.
Hey, go start a Lynch SW thread instead of mucking up mine.
I'm altering the thread. Pray I don't alert it any further.
