Triclops (Star Wars)



The Jedi Prince series is a series of science fiction novels set in the Star Wars expanded universe, written by Paul and Hollace Davids. They were published by Bantam Skylark. The series went from 1992 to 1993. The series takes place between the books The Truce at Bakura and Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor—about two years after Return of the Jedi.

The novels of this series met with a poor critical reception from many fans. Complaints included the relatively small roles played by the characters from the movies, their acting out of character, the simplicity of the plots, and that each novel had a heavy-handed environmentalist message (ranging from saving the whales to the greenhouse effect to air pollution).

The fan attitude toward the series is exemplified by a 2016 strip of the xkcd webcomic. In it, a character is found by others to have never seen any of the films. To get around the resulting social humiliation, he improvises details from the film, unaware that he is not the only one bluffing this way. The strip's mouseover text advises those in a similar situation caught by genuine fans of the franchise to "just say it's from the Jedi Prince book series, which contains so much incongruous stuff that even most Expanded Universe/Legends fans collectively agreed to forget about it decades ago."
