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 
The beginning part of the summary was just like the other one. But the last half is different. I definetly like this one better because it doesn’t have the part where it said that Luke gives her an illusion of himself to fool Caedus. Hate the illusion shit. And it makes more sense for Jaina to go after Caedus with more people than just herself. By herself, how was she even suppose to get to Caedus? There would be people every where. Now, the other people with her can distract the people around Caedus so she can fight him one-on-one. And the people that are supposetly going with her, make for a compelling, drama-sized ending. Han and Leia there. Can the parents really bring themselves to kill their own son, or let anyone else do it? That hesitation can bring Caedus a means to win the “fight.” And I said this before on this forum or another one, but with Zekk and Jag both being there, Caedus can use Zekk’s jealousy of Jaina and Jag to bring Zekk to his side. Remember, In Fury, Zekk was touched again by the dark side on Lyumina’s asteroid. Caedus can bring that dark side back by making Zekk feel angry and jealous. Caedus to Zekk, “Look at what Jag took from you. Your love, your life with Jaina. Look how they look at each other. He is the one to blame. Don’t hold back your feelings anymore. Unleash your anger on him. Take back what should have been yours first and forever.” Emotions will be riding really high for everyone involved.
General mliscky I like that summary and think that you could be definitley right about the Zekk thing because we are all speculating that Jaina runs off with Jag at the end, and Zekk’s confrontation with the darkside on the astroid couldn’t have helped him at all. Who do you think will be fighting Tahiri I think it might be Leia because that brief battle with her on Hapes could be foreshadowing at a bigger fight in the end. About the whole Sith on Korriban their little group probably won’t do so well be cause their is no trust among thieves or in this case Sith.
I went away for the weekend and I found a loophole that the authors can use to get around the comics. Ben Skywalker could marry Wyn Fel whom we met in the NJO series. For some reason Ben decides to change his name to Fel instead of using Skywalker to help him hide from Caedus or other Dark Side users. The Authors can then bring Col Skywalker’s story line into the fold by having a split inside the Fel Dynasty and the group that leaves reclaims the name Skywalker. It is a very roundabout way of bringing everything in line if Ceadus is victorious angainst both Jaina and Luke. Of course it would be easier for Jaina to be successful and then marry Jag, however unpopular this may prove to be.
” Time for Caedus to be unforgivably relentless and evil if he is going to come out on top.” this line is by Gen. mliscky, this is axactly what it will take for Caedus to bring balance. That’s why your awsome General and that’s also why you perfect for this cause, the cause being to bring a unifyed perception to the force. 29 more days. Who else will be taking the following day off?
I am hoping that Darth Caedus dies or is redeemed and I become the sith apprentice to Tahiri Velia.
I write allot of fan fiction too.
I really hope Jacen gets redeemed, if he does so I don’t see him returning as a prominent figure in the politics of the Jedi order or the GA. I see Jacen going into self imposed exile like Ulic did. The galaxy has seen enough death imo, I hope no more main characters die.
Everyone wants Jacen to get redeemed. Lets save poor Jacen and make him good again. Why? His character was always kind of boring, hesitant, and questioning everything that he did and what others did. But since Traitor, Jacen’s character became interesting and gave him purpose. Now with Vergerie’s, can’t think how to spell her name, teachings, he just choses and acts. This was his destiny from the beginning.
Let me asked people this. I was liking Jacen’s character since destiny’s way. Liked it even better in the DNT. Now he acts for a better tomorrow, instead of letting these politicians and rulers keep fighting and making wars between them. It just is never going to stop and Jacen knows this. Everyone is sick of it but only Jacen does something about it. So here’s my question: Why would the authors have Jacen go sith just to bring him back to the light? They wouldn’t. It is not his character anymore. He was changed into who he is now because of what he went through during the vong war. He was always looking for a better purpose and calling in the force, and this is it: To be a Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Caedus. To bring it upon himself to bring peace to the galaxy. He believes that this his destiny and he would rather die than let somone tell him he is wrong and that this is not the way.
I started the books with Betrayl. It was my first Starwars book EVER. Then after catching up with the series and having to wait for the next book, I started reading from Traitor on up. I wanted to see why our new dark Lord felt that he was the only one to bring the balance. Now keep in mind that I’ve been into Starwars for a long time. Idea of the force and how it was explained that hooked me and then it was the charaters. And when, I started reading about a character that has been able to understand the force, by loosing it, it was very compelling. Darth Caedus only wants the galaxy to be united, to provide a safe place for his family and friends, by all means nessasary. To do this, one must sacrafice, and he has. To even think about redemption, or death would be a complete waist. There is a genuine chance for Caedus to create a safer galaxy and it’s not work for anyone but a Sith Lord. It takes a Lord of the Sith to burn the red tap and use the power to make thinks happen and not hope that it falls into place. It’s brilliant the way Caedus is able to pass up the senators and may things happen. I feel like I’m not making sence as I have to work but, Caedus is doing something that no one had the gumption to do. He’s looseing everything to make a better future for everyone. And all anyone can say is, ” he should be redeemed, he should die, he should be frozen and come back later.” NO! They need to get over the fact that he is a Sith and devote themselves to his cause instead of attempting to thwart his every move out of selfishness, and ignorance of the greater picture. Don’t stand in the way, make way or whether anyone likes it or not, Lord Caedus’s rule has been long in the making and he has enough momentum to stay the course and unifiy this galaxy for the sake of the future generations.
Now let just add…I don’t think there is ” one right way ” there’s no one way to make nests and there’s not one right way for spiders to make webs, beavers to make dams, or galaxy’s to be organized, though, there IS a way that works. And the way the galaxy has been, I don’t thinks it’s working. Caedus has a way that has worked before, and all the things that didn’t make it work, our new Dark Lord is aware of…it’s hard to do something all by one’s self, hence the need for a master or an apperentice. Now that Caedus has an apprentice and still listen to what he was taught by Verger and Lymina, he has a chance and he has a way that works well. We can only hope for the best…..now back to work!
