The Courtship of Princess Leia/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Mary Suetopia - The Hapans are an incredibly wealthy and powerful matriarchal society of beautiful women (served by beautiful men) who posses an unbeatable navy. The book goes to great lengths to remind us of these facts (later books avert this trope by playing up the unpleasant aspects of Hapan life and downgrading their technology to galactic norms.)
    • This troper begs to differ. Wolverton established Hapan politics as unusually vicious right from the beginning, and drops several hints that Hapan technology is inferior in many respects (such as interstellar navigation) even if it appears superior in others.
  • Squick - If you read this book through McEwok-colored glasses, you will start to think about Jacen and Tenel Ka. Also, the idea of Yoda being a big flirt.
