Thnx to jwash24 who posted as a comment. ShowMeSciFi has now been able to independently verify that indeed Darth Caedus is Jacen Solo’s Sith name.
Jacen’s Sith name was chosen by a contest and follows his long descent into the dark side in the Legacy of the Force series (which is the most awesome Star Wars series in years if not of ALL TIME).
He takes his Sith name in Sacrifice set to come out in just a few weeks, but early copies are all already being leaked by the publisher.
So who does Jacen have to Sacrifice to get his Sith name…i could hardly believe it myself (and if you really want to know just look at the cover of the book and it’s quite obvious)..and i’m actually going to suspend dis-belief if you don’t mind until i get my hands on a copy of Sacrifice on May 29th.
*UPDATE* Got a copy of this on May 28th
Here’s the line you have to wait 367 pages to get too..
“Now was the time for a man who’d once been Jacen Solo to shoulder that responsibility for the galaxy’s sake.
Jacen took off the helmet, looked into his own eyes and didn’t flinch.
“Caedus,” he said. “My name is Darth Caedus.”
Show Me SciFi 
who in the hell is thalia? a mexican singer from fanta commercials. also anyone who types sections for wookiepedia is part of the problem. read death star folks. its a little slow but a good book.
FRAK WOOKIEPEDIA
Yeah that’s true what Darth Who said. Maybe JAcen should go through some memory wipe or something xD something goes wrong in his facility and then he gets lack of oxygen or something…and then slowly he gets all of his memories back and then he picks what he wants to do…
I don’t have a clue why people like Jacen. He is a terrible character. He is no way similar to Anakin. Anakin Skywalker went to dark side to save his wife simple as that. Unfortunately, he was the cause of it by believing she betrayed him to Obi-wan. He was fooled by Sidious.
Jacen did turn bad to save anyone. He seeked out the death of a loved one. Anakin did not seek out the death of any of his loved ones. He wanted to get them to rule with him.
Luke won’t be killed. He is too powerful and the main character after Anakin. If you don’t like Luke than don’t like Star Wars. Luke won’t die by anyone’s hands. The death of Mara Jade was stupid. I would be mad if I were Timothy Zahn.
Jacen is a wimp. I hope Anakin Skywalker helps Luke or Ben in his destruction.
No…I use to like Jacen back in the YJK series….there he was a really great character. But thease NJO and LotF series they killed him! Hes not the little animal loving guy i use to know 😦
Well, I’d like to see Anakin Solo come back. He was my most favorite guy:( But anyways….They should make a book where Allana’s like 12 or something and tells Jacen off. I’d like to see his face at that! >:]
LONG LIVE THE DARK SIDE!
I want Ben to kill jacen out of rage, vengence, but mostly out of hatred. This would Create a new sith and kill Ben int he procces. It would make luke hold back against him so that ben could kill him easily.
BTW as for the guy who come sback…it should be nither anakin solo, skywalker, nom anor, chewie, or anyone else suggested.
IT SHOULD BE DARTH VADER he never really died, anakin did on the death star, what became of him? was he expelled from his body after anakin took over and threw papa palpatine into the reactor? and then becom and evil spirit liek exar kun was? Vader could school everone in the NJO b/c he schooled luke at cloud city. he only lost to luke on the death star b/c he was trying to keep him alive to turn to the darkside plus he had internal battles against anakin at the same time.
BTW krayt is a disgrace to the sith, he didnt follow the rule of two. the darkside is doomed to destroy itself if it doesnt follow it.
As Grand Admiril Thrawn said “all men want power, and the more they have the more they want”, which woudl mean jacen’s followers and krayt’s will kill eachother. the only flaw witht he rule of two is the fact that one of two can be redeemed (like anakin).
I hope all of the jedi die.
LONG LIVE THE DARK SIDE, LONG LIVE THE SITH!!! 🙂
hmm im guessing everyone hasnt read infrno where mara jades body became one with the force after jacen solo showed up to the funeral
To Evil Never Dies:
Though you do have a point, Krayt was NOT a disgrace to sith. Just because he didn’t take up an apprentice, doesn’t mean he’s a disgrace. Yes, they would kill eachother off, but then there would have to be one left, wouldn’t there? Maybe he was just waiting for that to happen. Look at Malak. He didn’t have an offical apprentice. He just took all the ones that Revan had converted and kept training them. If Revan hadn’t come back, Malak would have conquered the whole galaxy even without following the rule of two.
[…] this series from beginning till end was about Jacen Solo – his decent into the dark side, becoming Darth Caedus, becoming the Chief of State, taking out his rival Admiral Niathal, killing his Aunt Mara Jade, and […]
I think Jacen is going to return to the light side and sacrifice himself to save someone he loves.
im with the witch on this one. its the most likely outcome because its the one none of you thought of. besides we all know most main character sith aren’t really evil, or at least don’t stay that way.
