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..
Show Me SciFi 
Does anyone wonder if Timothy Zahn knew what a Pandora’s Box he was opening when he wrote Jaina and Jacen’s birth in The Last Command?
Don’t remember that vision from Anakin. Can someone tell me exactly what he saw? I am just excited for this last book. Here are some things that i think are going to happen. First of all, I don’t think the war is going to just end. So in saying that, Either the Jedi and new GA, along with Boba and company beat Caedus and set up peace talks with Confederation. Or Caedus wins the “last” battle aginst Luke, gets a devastating, crippling blow against federation, and sets up a new series where Caedus is cleaning up the last remnant of the confederation and tightening his rule over the galaxy. Along with the exert I saw with Invincible on-line, I also saw the list of people involved in the novel. And of course, that couldn’t be concrete. But there where no other Jedi involved beside Luke, Jaina, Ben, Leia, and Zekk. There was no kyp, Corran, or any other Jedi. So this last book will be dealing with just a close knit of people. Tahiri, hope she gets a darth name, finds the location of the hidden Jedi base. I foresee either Ben or Leia fighting her. Remember that vision Luke had of Han stabbing someone with a viroblade in the back saying you were family to me or something like that? Maybe that someone is going to be Tahiri. So if that happens, maybe Caedus wins and gets a new apprentice. Jaina or Zekk? And Luke’s force illusions. Is any one else sick of those? Don’t know why Caedus can’t figure them out. Luke gives jaina a force illusion of himself so Caedus thinks he is fighting Luke. Don’t like that at all. Better if Caedus knows its twin vs. twin. But that battle of course will determine the future of the series. Like someone said above, I hope Caedus looks deep within the darkside and becomes so powerful that he cannot be beat, hence Invincible. But with the book being short with only like 320 pages, its going to be action packed with a lot happening. Hope this book has many lightsaber batlles. Didn’t have many of those at all in the previous books. Hope at the end of the novel—once more the Sith shall rule the galaxy! And he shall have peace.
One thing I forgot to mention. Everything the tassels read in Betrayal came true except the making of the pet and he will know brotherhood. The pet could mean tahiri, either as a apprentice or someone that does the dirty work for Caedus. Thought earlier in series that the pet could have meant Alema. And he will know brotherhood. The only thing that I can think of is the Sith on Korriban. Believe they called themselves a brotherhood, so maybe they make themselves known to only Caedus and help him some way. The only reason why they would have been written in the series is to either help him or help secretly to defeat him.
the book in which Anakin has the vision of a dark tattoed vong like tahiri was in NJO-Edge of Victory -Rebirth…i believe
I’m all about Caedus and his becoming our new Dark Lord make no mistake, though, Luke Skywalker son of Anakin Skywalker, is the most powerful Jedi in the know galaxy. I didn’t like the fact that in Revelation, Caedus came to think that Luke just showed him all that he was capable of when our Lord was attacked out side of Fondar. It will be a grave mistake to think that Luke gave him his all and that it was all he had to offer. Caedus still has many years to grow to his full potential, which he may never reach. He may just go stronger, smarter, with new enlightenments. I may be going to far with that but, still and without a doubt Luke is still the most powerful in regards to power and experience. His only weakness is that he fears the dark side. And off the subject…does anyone writing here, live in L.A. ? I’m all about getting a group together for Aug. 15th. Check movie and talk Star Wars all muthakriffing day.
Just to touch on Sithspawns questions about the Vader prophecy: I believe that because Eps. 1 through 6, are about the rise and fall of Vader that he was the one. He just brought balance in a round about way, the hard way. The Republic was doing well for a long time before Lord Sidious, so the balance brought was the Dark side as the Light side was in power for such a long time. The balance: Light side rule for a while and then the Dark side gets it’s turn in the spotlight. And then with Vaders redemtion by Luke was the end of the Sith rule and now the Light side has it’s turn again. Just like the natural community of life: A population grows untill the food available deminishes and that feeder populations decreaces and as the feeder population deminishes the food population rises and as the food population rises so does the feeder population: balance. The same can be said about the Dark and Light side. Dark gets a turn and then Light get a turn. So in our series it’s the dark sides turn.
noone buy invincible or any other star wars stuff. boycott the movie and watch a different show when the new one comes out. i say if lucas says there is no expanded universe then we should stop giving the old prick our money. fuck u lucas.
also luke never had a vision of han stabbing someone. i think milshky makes shit up. anakins vision of tahiri was in the book before rebith. its the one where hes on yavin. he saved tahiri thus keeping the vision from coming to pass.
Hey darth who. Why would I make shit up for? Everything that I said on these sights I either heard about or read. I’m not one of these idiot fans who just make shit up out of the blue or say things that could never happen. I guess I was reading incorrectly in Betrayal, pages 332 and 333, when it said, Han, regret on his face, a vibroblade in his hand, lunged forward and slammed the blade between the ribs of a pretty young woman with dark hair. I loved you in my own way, I would have repaired the harm I did you. I DON’T make shit up. It was a vision of Luke’s. Will it happen? probably not. There were many dreams and visions in this series that will probably never come to pass. But thanks for the Anakin vision. I remember now.
Wow, it got all Democratic party in here. With folks bickering back and forth and not sticking to the topics that matter. lol. I think the old man was just talking about the extra movies i.e. 7, 8, and 9. Lucas was just saying, from my point or view, that he never intended to write a story after Lord Vader, cause the story he wrote had only to do with this great Sith Lord. I imagine the though of 7,8, 9 came from, possibly thinking that this story could be only be told with nine films and that probably got it’s momentum from a series that started with 4, 5, 6. We only thought go forward instead of going back to tell the begining of Anikan. Possibly. Never the less, I’m very greatful for a story that brought us the force and lightsaber and Jedi. Long live Lord Caedus!!!!
