OK I'M BACK
I…don’t think I’ve ever read this one before, actually? I distinctly remember reading books 1-3 and books 5 and 6, but zero memory of this one. Our school library was missing one, and this must have been it.
I probably could have been quite content to never read this one, but I’m glad I did, I guess.
This one took me a while, both because I was doing other things, and because I just do not give a shit about Ken. I know he’s supposed to be the reader surrogate/reader insert character*, but ugh. He just feels so pander-y, you know? Like that one time they let a child be a Power Ranger. He’s the Littlest Rebel, and ugh.
Anyway. Bullet points.
• It’s 1993 now! There is probably another Thrawn book at this point, but I’m thinking that had zero impact on this runaway train of a book series.
• The Bad Takes are still here, if you were wondering.
• Needs more Leia
• Chewie is described as a “hairy alien Wookiee.” (??????)
• We still love our acronyms
• Han insists a vegetarian aquatic creature tried to eat him one time and Leia calls bullshit, and so does the glossary
• “[Han] had a bad habit of turning every conversation with Leia into an argument.” UH MAYBE THAT’S TOXIC, BRO. I should add that he is thinking of proposing at this point. I have long been a Han/Leia shipper, but the red flags are waving themselves.
• Ken knows everything about everything except to not take candy from strangers. He even knows the latest gossip about the Empire? How???? How did his droid family get ahold of this info????
• Ken thought he was escaping from doing schoolwork when he started hanging out with Luke, but Luke is making him stay in school (BINCH YOU THOUGHT). WHY DID HE LEAVE YAVIN 4 THEN
• SO the Rebel Alliance has established a SCHOOL on Dagobah (Dagobah Tech lmaooo) as well as a research facility. Listen, I’m not an expert on any of this, but, like…isn’t it just a BIG FUCKIN SWAMP??? Wasn’t it just Yoda and a bunch of snakes and bugs and shit?? Is the ground even able to physically support all these buildings?? WHY IS THERE A MOUNTAIN
• That mountain, incidentally, used to be called “MOUNT DAGGER” but the Rebels decided to rename it after Yoda, because why not
• I would wear a Dagobah Tech sweatshirt tho, ngl
• Zorba decides that he should make a business out of, like, feeding criminals to the sarlacc pit
• No Trioculus in this one, unfortunately. Unless you count his cameo appearances as a giant decorative ice cube.
• How do u bite your nails without taking off a finger when you have sharpass shark teeth tho
• “’Moisture farms are hot and lonely,’ Luke insisted.” hsgasgkd
• Duro just has a bad time in every timeline, huh?
• We get a Lesson of the Week twofer in this one: the ecological message in this one concerns toxic waste dumping, plus we get a bonus “Colonizers Bad” message, which is great! The Empire gets up to some imperialist (of course) bullshit and steals culturally significant artifacts from Duro to add to their own private collections and also to subjugate the native population by robbing them of their culture. That’s…pretty good for 1993, actually.
• “Ken tried…one more time, then gave up, collapsing on the floor in despair.” OH MOOD??
• “If fortune is with us, then Solo will have some important passengers aboard.” Is…is Han NOT important?
• “Chzootch Gneek!” Artoo buzzed.” (????)
• “’Master Luke are you alright?’ ‘Quiet, Threepio,’ Luke explained. ‘Can’t you see I’m concentrating on the Force?’” YEAH THREEPIO, how dare you wonder why the FUCK Luke’s sitting on the floor doing nothing during a crisis
• Luke is just…really quick to start waving his laser sword around in this series. Just whippin it out at the slightest sign of trouble
• IF YOU WERE CONCENTRATING ON THE FORCE SO HARD THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU KNOW THAT THAT WAS KEN
• “’Success!’ Threepio shouted, unaware of Artoo and his troubles.” Lmaoooo
• “But Han had spoken too soon.” LMAOOOO
• This Duro shipyard offers a warranty that covers Imperial attacks for six months lol
• UH Leia stays behind with the ship so KEN can go on the mission, this is BULLSHIT. She helps fly it later, but WHATEVER.
• “’I did it, Luke! I saved you!’” SHUT UP KEN
• TEENAGE MUTANT FEFZE BEETLES
• “’I once knew a woman who lived by the ways of the Force. Her name was Kendalina.’” SMELLS LIKE FORESHADOWING. Also, she’s dead. George said no moms allowed in the Star War
• “’I see everything and everyone, whether in front or behind. It’s why the call me Triclops – for I have three eyes.’” ughhhhhh
• Triclops is pretty chill tho
• So there was no werewolf, just a wolf-ish humanoid interrogator man. I wanted a fuckin SPACE WEREWOLF
• HE STABBED SOME DUDE RIGHT IN THE BRAIN WITH SOME SYRINGES FULL OF TRUTH SERUM, FUCKIN YIKES, Y’ALL
• So there’s a big ol earthquake that registers as a “77.88 on the Imperial quake scale.” I grew up in earthquake country aND I HAVE QUESTIONS. How does this translate to our Richter scale? 77.88 out of WHAT?? How can you use the same scale on different planets that might vary wildly in terms of structure???
• “’Now prepare to join your master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, in the world beyond!’” damn, dude
• “It was all too troublesome for a boy of twelve to dwell on.” It’s too troublesome for ME
• Leia’s outfit is good tho??
• Yoda is described in the glossary as a “small creature.” Just……….. a litle creacher. Thatse It . He Canot change this.
• Can I offer you a meme in this trying time?
I am 500% going on to book 5, because it’s absolutely buckwild, from what I remember. Maybe only the odd-numbered books are good??
*There were just….too many dudes for me to be able to relate to strongly to anyone as a child. Leia gets to do stuff sometimes and Mon Mothma shows up every so often to be a Stately Leader, but that is IT. Two whole ladies, unless you count KATE, and I don’t. She’s just Alice from The Brady Bunch, but made of pink metal. Also she shows up for like ten minutes.

It took me until book four of this series to realize it, but "Jedi Prince" makes no sense. The Jedi aren't royalty.
Also, these authors LOVE them some acronyms. They're all over the place in these books.

I once owned a copy of this book. In fact, I remember the day my grandma took me to the local Walden Books at the mall and let me pick out any book I wanted. Being like 8, and having just seen the first 3 Star Wars movies and having no frame of reference for these books, other than the title had the words “Star Wars” and “Yoda” emblazoned on the front cover, it’s no wonder this was the book I picked out. I’m sure I was super excited and pumped to read this as soon as I got home. However, I don’t think I ever finished it....and now, 24 years later, I can totally understand why.
I’ve written about this series before in my other reviews. Talked about how truly horrible it is, and just how bad the Davids’ storytelling ability is, even for a group of books geared towards 8 and 9 year olds.
Mission From Mount Yoda, surprisingly breaks the trajectory of the first 3 books, in that, unlike the crapfest that was Zorba the Hutt’s Revenge, this one tells a somewhat decent story and, aside from one throwaway reference to possible genetic mutation from radioactive waste, seems to steer away from the tree-hugging messages that are quite obvious. And while things still just happen for reasons, at least there’s a bit more explanation.
Of course, this book is still a mess. The Davids’ over reliance on onomatopoeia is still ridiculously prevalent. Their love of acronyms also appears on almost every page. SPIN, DARPAC, SSS, CAV. The way thins happen in this story is pretty juvenile and almost insulting. The conclusion is pretty tame. Hell, this entire series, if summarized into one word would be “tame”.
These books suck, no question, but I’m too far in to stop now.

If I had kids, I'd totally be reading these with them. They're just so strange, these stories, and I know they'd be even more fun as a family read.
So in this one, it was fun finally meeting Triclops. He's such a curious character, one who's been built up as a dangerous psychotic mutant throughout the series -- and then he appears, at first anyway, to be a victim of political violence and psychological torture through being institutionalized. I'm legitimately curious to see where things go at this point.
The visit to the planet Duro is fun. Not so many head-scratching moments in this one, though there's one time where Luke has a pissing contest with Ken about how much worse growing up on a moisture farm was compared to attending school. Which...given what happens to Luke in the films, a lack of patience and ability to connect with the youth is rather on point...

For whatever reason, my local library growing up only had the final three books of this series, so this is the first one that was vaguely familiar, although I think most of the details had been misplaced over the years.
Having checked Dagobah off the list, we've now visited or mentioned every location from the original series. I do have to commend this book for filling in details of the Duros home planet, which is a location and species that are never mentioned by name in the movies (although we do get them in the background of some scenes, of course).
The environmental subplot is back at the forefront and concerns pollution of Duros, so you can check that off your scorecard if you're playing some kind of drinking game.
In fairness to my review of the second book, this book establishes that Ken studies things other than Star Wars trivia, so I retract my previous snarky statement.

It's taken me some time to come back to this series, because the first three books were just so stupid, and I really mean they were dumb. But my desire to read Star Wars tie-in fiction from the beginning is forcing me to continue, and I suppose at least these are short. I will say, though, that this one is the best of the bunch. That's not saying much - the first three were all one star reads - and much of the same idiocy is repeated regarding names, but it's marginally less idiotic than the others. Though I shake my head at the hidden "good" son of the Emperor saying how if he takes his father's throne he'll start fixing things, because how about he starts fixing things by not taking the throne and returning to the basic democracy of the Senate before his dad started screwing things up in the name of power. No one calls him on it, though, that would require thought.
Honestly, these books would improve at least ten percent if the authors were forbidden from using the word "dark" because the dark prophets having dark visions and giving dark blessings is ridiculous. Might as well tattoo "we are evil" on their foreheads...

I know these are kids books, but as I may have mentioned in my review of Zorba's Revenge, all the details from the West End gaming books or wherever some of the minutiae comes from does not make it more of a "Star Wars" book, and certainly doesn't make for good prose, which kids deserve, even at a simpler level. I am so curious how these books, with their amazing covers, were perceived by the intended audience at the time. Also, looking at what was canon at the time, did the "adult" Star Wars novels' authors mostly ignore the content of these books? Did I only learn about some of these characters through the Essential Character Guides and Star Wars Galaxy trading cards before finally encountering them in this series of kids books?
I'd be curious to read some of Paul and Hollace Davids' other works to better understand their credentials, and see if their Star Wars work were flukes among good or great books.

This story was clearly meant for younger fans. With that in mind, the book was okay. It clearly is part of Legends/EU Canon, but how it fits I can't quite make out.
I read the first few books in this series years ago, and you can tell these came out before Lucas did his Prequel Trilogy. It is hard to not want to try to figure out how the Prophets of the Dark Side would fit in with the Sith, and what we know about that Dark Side order.
I would only suggest this book to hard core Star Wars fans, and then only if you have a desire to read everything Lucasfilm officially licensed to be published.

I wish I was inspired in this adventure. I'm just trying to finish it, so I can go on to other Star Wars stories that have real life and stakes, and that I'm into. Ugh. Two more stories, then freedom (hopefully).

I am highly amused by the idea of a school being established on Dagobah. And naturally, it's called Dagobah tech. Brilliant. Unfortunately, I didn't find this book as fun as the previous three, though it certainly had its moments. The overarching plot does seem to be getting somewhere, at least; Triclops meets the Rebels and heads back with them to Dagobah Tech! I mean... their lab/base/school. He misses his beloved Kendalina. Ken, wake up! You know what this means, right?
Another silly, zany adventure from the infamous Jedi Prince series. Not the best instalment, alas, but honestly which instalment isn't wonderfully horrifying?

The environmentalist flavor of the day is hazardous waste dumping with a side of "hey maybe don't steal or destroy other cultures' historical artifacts" Also C3P0 fixes something in the Millennium Falcon, which is the LEAST in character thing he's done thus far. Also Ken thinks that you have the same level of decision-making at 12 as you do 18, and Triclops' third eye doubles as a tractor beam. 🤌💋

Mission from Mount Yoda (Star Wars: Jedi Prince #4) by Paul and Hollace Davids.
Basic storylines: Kadann, the Supreme Prophet of the Dark Side wants to capture and destroy the carbonized body of Trioculus. Meanwhile, the Rebel Alliance is trying to save the archaeologists on the dying planet of Duro.
Ok, this book in the series is more of the same as the previous books. Another 2 star.

I found this book so addictive! I just couldn’t put it down. Seeing all the movies in a space of a few weeks and seeing the latest movie made me want to read the books also. Will definitely read other books in this series in the future. :) ❤️

I remember finding this in the library at my school over twenty years ago now, my first interaction with Star Wars novels.
Definitely a better novel than the first three imo, finally introducing Triclops helping the book up a bit.

Seriously don't know what to say that I haven't said before about these books. But this one in particular seemed especially rushed and lacking in plot.

Man I don’t know why I’m trying these still. It’s even more disappointed because there is honestly some potential in the plot, characters, and art, but it is utterly squandered.

Chewbacca says "uwu" in this book and I love that.

June 24, 2026- yes i'm a grown woman, yes i laughed a little too hard when i accidentally read this book's title as "mission to mount yoda"
- this is from 1991, so the people who wrote and illustrated it were a little bit short on content, i believe. it’s not as bad as the late 70s “star wars” comic book i own that was made before it was revealed luke and leia are twins. that comic book has a completely adorable vintage “juicy fruit” gum ad, though, but i digress.
- okay so there’s like 50 “star wars” original characters from the writers in this, but somehow princess leia and your girl me, the woman reading this, are the only female presence so far??? booooo.
- also why is han solo kind of a dick in this? i mean, he kinda was in the movies, but in a cute, teasing way, and it helped that he was hot (young harrison ford is like the piece of caramel cheesecake that comes in a mini cheesecake sampler, in my opinion.)
- like, han in this book reflects on the fact that he “turns every conversation with princess leia into an argument” but then he’s like “ugh i don’t know why i was considering marrying her”?!?! HAN, PLEASE LOOK INWARD!!!

- like, han in this book reflects on the fact that he “turns every conversation with princess leia into an argument” but then he’s like “ugh i don’t know why i was considering marrying her”?!?! HAN, PLEASE LOOK INWARD!!!
