We’ve known since at least November that Jaina would be on the cover of the final book of the Legacy of the Force series.
Now the first images of the actual book cover are available and it looks to us that she’s going to have a showdown with her brother Jacen – Darth Caedus.
That is a confrontation that is – Inevitable – maybe that should’ve been the name of the book. Then again maybe Invincible refers to Jacen/Caedus….
Invincible’s release date is set for May 13, 2008. Amazon is already taking pre-orders on this the final installment of the Legacy of the Force – it’s a hardcover so it’s more dough than the paperbacks. Amazon currently has a neat offer though, they’re starting at 34% off list price and if you pre-order now they’ll give you an extra 5% discount. Sure beat paying full price the day it comes out..but i wonder if they’ll actually ship it to arrive on May 13th..
Show Me SciFi 
I don’t think so. By this book I see Caedus with more help and strength along with the ability to better control himself. After all he has to lead the galaxy…
I preordered the 6th Harry Potter book from Amazon, and got it the day it came out. It’s a pretty good service.
After I read the last book (revelations) I think that the question is nolonger will jacen win but how many jedi he kills before he goes and will they kill him or put him in a padded room
jacen cant die hes too cool
im hoping they pull a ulic qel droma and strip him of the force. that leaves things open for the future.
If caedus does die it cant be jaina by herself that is for sure.
You know what, I thought turning Jacen into a bad guy was a bad idea since the first book. Though I sort of had hope when it seemed like Jacen was doing this because he had to for balance in the force that has since been shattered. Jaina will kill Jacen, everyone will be fine with it, and the books will make lots of money. I’m just sad that it will be at the sacrifice of the best character to come out of the books since Thrawn…
The only (slight) hope is that Troy Denning will get his head out his A$$ and make the final fight a draw with the Empire entrenched on one side of the Galaxy and the UGA and Jedi entrenched on the other. There you have BALANCE and no ‘Anakin Chosen Darth whatever or Luke too good to be more then superficial’ character will have to be created to wipe the slate once again.
I see three options for the Jedi if they capture Jacen alive which I think likely if Luke pins him to his chair again. They can imprison him in some way, either in a cell or maybe in carbonite. Stripping him of the force would be interesting as it would leave an opening for future plots. Marooning on a distant planet that would be extremely out of the way would be even more interesting. I think also that Tahiri isn’t going to be Jacens apprentice but more of a “pet” and that Jaina will be the apprentice. Of course it could be the other way around as I can not think of anything more demented than imprisoning your twin sister and keeping her as a pet.
I think that Jaina might fail to kill Jacen and that it will be a final showdown with Luke, because in Revelation Luke literally almost destroyed Jacen in his stealthX so I think Luke is gonna try and bring Jacen back to the light side of the force like he did with Vader
You are right admiral wilhem. The NJO series started it all when it came to unpredictability. That was why I liked that series the best out of all of them. But thrawn’s trilogy was really good too. Chewbacca’s and anakin’s death made the series believable and gave you the scope of destruction and death that the vong brought to the galaxy. Death’s to main characters make the series’ rememberable. That is why some important character will die or do something stunning in Invincible.
