Star Wars: 10 Expanded Universe Characters We Hope To Never See Again

5. Ken €“ The Jedi Prince Books

url-33 Mission Vao is an exasperating teenage twerp but she€™s great company when you compare her to this little runt. A Jedi Prince (which luckily is a concept that was never picked up on again in the entire Star Wars canon), Ken was brought up in an underground city on Yavin IV by droids so that the Empire wouldn€™t find him and he could one day become a Jedi. After a chance meeting with Luke Skywalker, he joins the Rebel Alliance and goes on to annoy the living daylights out of any reader above the age of ten. Ken is supposed to be the hero of the Jedi Prince series but he is mind-meltingly irritating. Possibly because he€™s twelve but definitely because he€™s an idiot, doing things like accidentally taking Han Solo€™s airspeeder for a joyride and then getting arrested for it. But the worst thing about Ken is the truth about his parentage: he is the child of a Jedi Princess named Kendalina and Emperor Palpatine€™s mutant three-eyed son Triclops. That€™s right, apparently as well as plotting the downfall of the Jedi, Palpatine was also going out on the pull at the same time. It was just a cheap attempt to mimic the impact of that infamous €œI am your father€ moment and it didn€™t work. Ken€™s story never really ended properly and has been all but wiped from Star Wars history. Thank God.
