''[[The Glove of Darth Vader]]'' is the first installment of a series of [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] novellas for younger readers written by Paul and Hollace Davids and published in the early 1990s. They are most remembered nowadays for their [[So Bad ItsIt's Good|questionable quality]], but occasional references to them still crop up in the modern EU, and they've been neatly fitted into the official EU timeline (with a little bit of retconning to make them fit better). The title of the first book has been adopted for the (untitled) cycle as a whole, which is also known by the names of ''Jedi Prince'' and ''Son of Palpatine''.
 
Books in the series include:
Line 21:
** At one point it was pretty much treated as completely non-canon (some gaming sourcebooks aside), but current Lucasfilm policy seems to be that nothing is so contradictory to the rest of the EU that it can't be fixed with a big enough [[Retcon]].
*** In particular, according to an article in issue 103 (October 1994) of the ''Polyhedron'' [[Tabletop RPG]] magazine (albeit unlicensed), the series was actually a youngling-friendly retelling of those events by Leia Organa Solo to her children.
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: The baddies in these books take this to the level of [[Narm]] - see that entry below as well as [[And That's Terrible]], above.
* [[Cruella to Animals]]: Trioculus takes a break from pursuing our heroes to hunt animals.
* [[Green Aesop]]: [[Once an Episode|One in each book]], invariably [[Anvilicious]].
