trackback
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..

You are probably right wilhelm. But anyway, I’m tired of talking politics. Bores me no matter what. haha.
I believe it’s, Admiral Wilhelm, General….
Yeah Gen. mliscky politics are boring me right, now funny how we got to this when this is supposed to be about the speculation of Jaina and Jacen fighting… oh well.
It is impossible to seperate the two. The fight between Jaina and Ceadus will have far reaching political consequences. Power is the lifeblood of politics and both the Jedi and the Sith have vast quantities of Power. It is for this reason that both the Sith and the Jedi get involved in politics even though they would do better to stay out. When Mon Mothma speaks to Luke about the future of the Jedi order she points out that if you have power you will either be manipulating or manipulated no matter your values or beleifs. So we discuss politics here because, unfortunately, politics decides the future of everything.
Thank you Lord Maloch for insisting on Titles but since General mliscky is of equal rank I beleive this slip of the tounge can be tolerated. However the unranking members here should continue to show proper respect which they have done. All Hail Lord Maloch and I salute You General Mliscky for your dislike of politics though I do not agree with you all the time.
Insofar as main characters are concerned they (the authors) can do whatever they wish with any character that was written into the EU. As far as “no main characters” dying that is in reference to any character that was created by George Lucas himself. Essentially when the NJO was in it’s planning stages Lucas (either personally or through Lucas Licensing) gave them a list of choices for characters they could “sacrifice” and Chewbacca was the one that was chosen.
Luke will have to die eventually unless he is able to learn to use the force in such a way that he is able to halt the aging process. In order to do this he must have a meeting with Dr. DeGray in London (I think that is his name.) who has put together a list of things that cause human beings to die. Using the Force I beleive that it would be possible to conquer these things that cause us to die. But we can assume that Luke dies eventually because the comics have him dead somewhere in the future.
I wonder about this announcement by George Lucas that no more main characters will die off in the EU. Does this mean that he is going to make more films and is worried that the EU killing off his main characters will hurt future movies that no one will go to because they know what happens already.
Cosal do you go to Virginia Tech?
Comics and Book are separate entities. Comics are the what if’s, the books are what’s happening. Don’t take this wrong comic lover as I’m a fan as well and I imagine Comic readers may feel the same way towards the books but, just because Grand Mastere Skywalker is dead in the comic doesn’t account for what may happen in the furture of the books. And as long as we keep it that way so shall it be…
