It's more likely that its Djo. Maybe sometime in the near future It may change to Solo, but for right now, only Jacen and Tenel Ka know the only truth.
True. But assuming you're joking which means you'd be excluded, you'd have to not have read anything since the Dark Nest/Swarm War trilogy. If you're that far out of the loop, which equates to about 4 years? There's bound to be spoilers everywhere you turn by now.
Details leaking from a book that was released within a half year or so ago? Different story.
*edit - Is Caedus really that popular? He comes off like a total douchebag(and by douchebag, I mean like Anakin Skywalker in AOTC/ROTS level douchebag) in these books but I'm noticing alot of screen names with 'Caedus' in them...
Oops...sorry about the spoiler thing. Didn't know some people hadn't read the Dark Nest.
Is it just me, or does the SW universe have a different policy on names than we do? Some kids still retain their mother's last name (e.g. Tenel Ka), and instead of either keeping or changing their names when married, some women use both (e.g. Leia Organa Solo, Mara Jade Skywalker). I'd think that that was just something the authors did so people wouldn't be confused, but they're referred to with both last names and with just a single name (e.g. in Heir to the Empire Ralrra (?) the Wookiee calls Leia Leia Organa Solo, while in Vector Prime Nom Anor calls her Leia Solo.) Also, it's pretty weird that some characters are never even given last or first names (Revan, Malak, Allana, Prince Isolder, Greedo, Palpatine, etc.)
Frankly, I've just been wondering about all this name stuff. Has anyone else wondered this? Or do I just have too much time on my hands?

Wait....that was in the Dark Nest trilogy? 😕
Uh....maybe I should check them out again.... 😛
BTW: Yeah, naming practices in the GFFA are kind of weird - but I've heard of similar inconcistencies here in the real world. They refuse to use my full name in legal documents, always omitting either one or two of my middle-names....

That's what i'm wondering: Does anyone actually LIKE Caedus? i mean, most villians have fans who like them... (Vader, General G)
But Jacen isn't strong enough, smart enough, or man enough to have fans in my opinion. He's too whiny, and WAY TOO arrogant. I wish they could kill him already and move on to something else. The Sith on Korriban is a more interesting story line, and that's another question: How did they stay there? Doesn't that directly contradict the movies? Anakin destroyed the Sith, brought balance to the force, i mean, isn't that the basis of all the movies? How do they stay hidden on Korriban?
