SuitabookStar Wars - Jedi Prince - Glove of Darth Vader
Paul Davids, Hollace Davids
- Reading
- Before reading, mention that the book contains political rivalry, threats and revenge. Afterwards, ask which character seems to use power responsibly and whether the ending changes the reader’s view of the prophecy or the glove.
- Themes
- Power and prophecy: Imperial warlords compete for control, while the Prophets of the Dark Side foretell a new Emperor and Trioculus seeks to secure his reign. The plot clearly centres on the pursuit and prediction of power, but it is unclear whether prophecy is trusted, challenged or exposed as manipulative.
- Threat and protection: A young Jedi grows up hidden beneath Yavin’s fourth moon after Trioculus learns that a Jedi prince could threaten his rule. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Revenge and relationships: Trioculus seeks to take Princess Leia from Han Solo, while Zorba returns after learning that his son died at Leia’s hand and prepares a response. The plot introduces possessive political and personal aims alongside revenge, but it is unclear how the book judges these motives or their effects.
- Worth knowing
- The central conflict involves threats, destruction, evil power and revenge.
