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 
George Lucas is not in command of the EU. He rejected the entire series of books and comics as not part of the actual Star Wars Universe. As far as I can tell it works both ways and the novel authors are free to kill anyone they want whenever they want. Chewbacca could have been considered a “Main Character” and look what happened to him in NJO. George Lucas Forfeited his right to order the authors around when he rejected their work as not part of his work. This statement though could be true FOR THIS SERIES are the Key Words It could happen in the next series.
Okay, thanks for telling me that i just had heard it somewhere and wasn’t really sure what it meant, so thanks for clarifying on it, and I like you guys’ ideas on what could happen to Jacen Solo. Carbonite is a very good idea, but I am thinking Troy Denning will probably pull a “Darth Vader” and redeem Jacen, but is to late to save him.
Save him physically is what I mean above at the end.
Oh and I must congratulate you Lord Maloch on becoming a Sith Lord since I wasn’t here when you became one,
I said this before, it is to late to redeem Caedus. That story was already written with vader/anakin, so denning should not write it again. Lets read something new. I wouldn’t mind if Caedus was on the losing side in Invincible, but escapes and lives to fight another day. But to write that kind of ending will be a tricky one. Still thinking the one sith on korriban will play a role with caedus, either help him win or help with his demise. Lets hope the sith stick with their own kind and help him.
You know Gen. mliscky, I was just thinking about that point about the Sith on Korriban. By ” the one sith ” I’m sure we both mean, the one that followed the meditation sphere..uhmm, remember that Lymina told the sphere to protect the Sith Lord to be? So, if the sith there do decide to assist our new Dark Lord, maybe it will be because of the sphere carring out Lyumina’s order or last request. Even if, the Sith on Korriban could possible have a greater influence over the sphere, than Lyumina, they still may decide to assist, thinking that it may be advantageous to them…but that in my opinion would be quite foolish…two reasons: 1. cause there can only be two and 2. because there old ways are finish and proven to be unstable to say the least..” to be united by hate, is a fragile alliance at best ” , Darth Traya. The Sith philosophy by design makes a sect of any sort impossible…impossible. They have little to no choice but to join Caedus and, first fight them selves to deside who will challange Lord Caedus, and then, ultimatly take there place by his side. Tahari, I don’t feel will be a match for these Sith on Korriban. I like her, to me it’s just….I just don’t think she’s stronge enough.
You know, I’ve just considered……why would that sith even tell the others about the sphere? Probably won’t. And if not, then, it the sphere goes along with my hypothesis, then maybe the fool may prove useful, just as long as there influence isn’t greaters that Lymina’s.
Thank you Cosal. If I may say, we look forward to reading you thoughts in the future.
Yes Lord Maloch, I mean the meditation sphere. And I swear, Denning better have a little part for them in the book or it was irrelevant to even mention them AT ALL. Lord Maloch, the thing about the one sith in the comics is that they do not follow the rule of two. From my readings on the internet, they seem to be a better version of the brotherhood that we read and heard about in Darth Bane’s time. But the “one” sith in the comics have one leader who makes all the decisions and has the respect that a master would have with a apprentice. The brotherhood in Bane’s time had a leader but it was almost like a democracy cuz the leader, Kaan?, always asked for other opinions when dealing with situations because they were all equals, but nobody is equal with the “one” sith leader. But what happen to the idea that the sith can’t share power because they all want the power to themselves? I have know idea. Maybe it is just a legion of dark jedi with a few sith lords.
We only have 1 more month left till the book comes out. OUTSTANDING. I am going to be so tempted to scan through the last pages of the book when I get just to see what is going to happen. I usually read a couple words here and there in the back of the books when I get them, but for this one I probable won’t because it will ruin the whole book for me. For Instance, if i scanned the Caedus died I probable wouldn’t read the book. So I am going to let the story come to me, Not “cheat”, and root for Caedus and the dark side. I am not going to even read the spoilers that are on the internet for a change. I basically found out all the spoilers in Revelation on the spoiler sites. Time for Caedus to be unforgivably relentless and evil if he is going to come out on top.
Just read a new blurb for a Invincible summary for the book. It hasn’t been confirmed so this could be wrong. And I don’t think that book summaries are spoilers. Everyone reads them before they read a book anyway. Here it goes: “Luke Skywalker is stuck on the horns of a dilemma. He is convinced that Darth Caedus, the Sith Lord who began life as Luke’s own peace-loving nephew, Jacen Solo, must be destroyed. Yet he worries that his vision is tainted by his own anger, pain, and desire for revenge. Jaina Solo, Jacen’s twin sister, has completed her training under the galaxy’s most fierce anti-jedi warrior, and now it falls to her to fulfill her destiny as “sword of the Jedi.” And so while the forces of the shattered GA struggle to end the civil war that has sent planet against planet, Jaina, along with her parents, Han and Leia, fellow Jedi Knight Zekk, and old friend Jag, heads right into the lion’s den to confront the horrific tyrant who was once her twin brother…”
