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.”

luke will kill or seriously injure jacen.i can see luke taking his arms off at the shoulders and his legs off above the knees. he knows how much that limited vader and probably wont kill his sisters son
as for krayt he is the skywalker who reunifies the jedi.
nah guys i really think that krayt is Ben. i mean krayt even says he’s used some kinda of ……i dunno freezing device?….to keep his body young. so im guessing its ben and he does it when he’s grown…oh and i think ben will kill luke too.
I highly doubt that Ben will kill Luke. PS Don’t disrespect Traviss, it wasn’t her decision to kill Mara. If you knew anything about the way this writing process works, all three of the authors of this series come together in a room, discuss where they want the series to go, where LucasArts wants the series to go, and then they get Sue Rostonni to tell them exactly what they can or cannot do, in this case, the characters that they can and cannot kill off.
I love Traviss, because she brings everything I love about Star Wars into play. Mandalorians. Lots and lots of freakin’ Mandalorians. That, with bonus Clone Troopers= pure Awesome.
I’m really glad that the whole Boba’s Dying thing is back to normal though, it would have really sucked if the most kickass Bounty Hunter ever died…
His wife IS alive, though. It says at the end of Sacrifice. She’s encased, perfectly, in carbonite, and his granddaughter is going to unfreeze her.
I hate saying this but Luke might have to be killed if they ever want to make alot more books in the future. All I wonder that they make a new hero we can all agree on. Ben will probly learn from the ship things that Jacen couldn’t learn with any teacher and talk to force ghost Anakin Solo why he shouldn’t go dark etc.
anybody know when sacrifice is coming out in singapore i know it came out in the states a few days ago but down here i don’t it has come out yet anyone can elighgten me and by the way jacen solo sucks
Argh! Why does everybody keep insisting that Anakin Solo is going to come back? Either as a ghost, or a clone, or somehow returning from the dead. I am a writer and a Star Wars fan, and the sheer level of cheese that this would put into StarWars would be enough to make me lactose intolerant.. I’d stop reading. Seriously. Anakin is dead… he hasn’t come back for years, he wont and shouldnt come back. Let the living deal with their own problems.
I totally think that thw whole solo children should join the dark side. Even though Anakin solo dies, it would still be cool! and why would they name the child Anikin anyway i mena then you get confused which one it is
caedus means in latin i think means to kill, murder to sacrifice
lucas added the bring people back from death thing. he didnt use it but im sure the books will be allowed. also the author said that revelations will bring back a character thought long dead.
anakin solo is the perfect candidate with jacen being a lunatic now.
anakin just cannot come back he is just long dead and he will never come back
