Publisher Summary for Invincible
I found this shit interesting...
It's a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the Dark Lord who was once Jacen Solo.
So now apparently Jacen Solo's command of the force surpasses Anakin Skywalker who was supposed to be the most powerful Jedi ever.. I'm going to assume they're talking about Darth Vader as the machine which is understandable. But also claiming that Jacen's regime would be more tyrannical than Palpatine's is hilarious. To top it off, apparently you have to have the DESTINY of killing Caedus to actually do it. It would be too easy if Luke did it.. Man I hate the LOTF series..
that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard of. They are so desperate to make Caedus sound dangerous when luke has completely owned him in EVERY encounter. Every one.

So Jacen is evil nowadays? I stopped reading Star Wars halfway through the young stuff.... but I mostly remember him as boy that liked animals.

I don't know how to post a spoiler alert but who gives a shit, the LOTF series sucks anyways. According to star wars wikipedia;
Death
Jacen was mortally wounded by his sister, Jaina, in a duel. His last act was to scream through the Force to Tenel Ka to protect Allana, their daughter.[4] His Sith apprentice, Tahiri Veila, was defeated in a duel by Ben Skywalker and brought into Hapan custody.
So there you have it, no sense in reading the final novel although I'm going to anyways. The whole idea was stupid considering the fact that jacen and Luke were the most powerful beings in the galaxy and were therefore supposed to have a final battle of titanic proportions..
And actually no, I wasn't expecting Luke to beat him. I think everyone knows that Luke will wipe his ass with Jacen, so it wouldn't be that great. It'd be like the final fight in Rots being Yoda vs. Anakin or something.
well... that really sucks. I wish you had known how to post a spoiler alert. i guess i thought since you didn't know how, you weren't going to post the spoiler... oh well.. thus is life.

Well at the same time, the finale was kind of obvious don't you think? Jacen was going to go down to either Luke (which would have been most logical), or Jaina, and the cover of the novel spoiled it. I am going to read it because I want to see what paths various characters take, specifically the new sith order, and the Skywalkers..
yeah, that's true. i was holding out hope that Jacen would kill jaina, and then luke could kill jacen, and we could be done with solo children forever though.

I just wanted Luke and Jacen to fight such a titanic battle that they open up a portal to another dimension and after Luke kills Jacen, he leaves to another dimension forever.. I'm a little weird.
Fun fact: Jacen is so demented, he can't even fight properly...
From TFN:
Jacen's orders make no strategic sense.
* Jacen's orders make no political sense.
* Jacen makes no effort to hide he's a lunatic.
* Jacen has nightmares everytime he goes to bed.
* Jacen admits to psychotic actions to people around him.
* Jacen kills people in fits of pique.
* Jacen has no master plan for bringing peace to the galaxy.
* Jacen is paranoid to the point of believing his cape is plotting against him.
* Jacen has this weird psychotic hatred of his parents.
* Jacen attempts to torture Ben into obeying him without any real sense of how to make him want to be his apprentice.
* It's not until the last moment Jacen realizes he's LOSING the war.

Its seems like these Authors all try to 1up each other even try to 1up lucas. they think power levels make there story more important that poor marketing and poor work ethics (insult to star wars and literature in general)
and by the way Jasen= the perfection of sw Faggotry.
EDIT:sorry i just hate all the njo authors sooo much.
Same, except the "that they open up a portal to another dimension and after Luke kills Jacen, he leaves to another dimension forever.. I'm a little weird." part.

A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.
