Jaina - Why hasn't she developed her power?

yeah. She should get better with her force lightning, grip, and sensing skills. and Learn force repulse or wave. Then learn to be invisible in the force, and force server. That would do nicely against anyone.. Force storm (both kinds ) would be good to learn, as well as drain, and heart stopping. lol

I don't see how Jaina's potential isn't "uber," she is Jacen's twin after all and we saw how powerful he became. I think Jaina's problem is the lack of training, and constant distractions from errand missions for the jedi, to focusing on her non jedi/force skills.

Yet the authors have never focused on any perceived uber potential. Jaina, Jacen and Anakin Solo didn't all have the same potential.

It may be that Jaina is meant to be what she is: powerful but not in any way uber.

They should focus on continuing to improve her character to make her an even greater Jedi (since she's Leia's last child now), the depictions of her power have been sensible imo i.e. power isn't everything.

Nothing. He's powerful but not uber, nothing wrong with that.

Well, Jaina is one of the top Skywalker pilots atleast.

Jacen was better though.

Remember that time in NJO where they all went through some sort of asteriod field? I think Han/Chewie, Jacen, Anakin, Jaina and Kyp maybe all did it. Jaina was the best.

Is Jaina on par with say Obi Wan or even Jinn?

As of LoTF, I'd say she's surpassed Kenobi and Jinn.

Seriously? Then why do people claim that she's weak? Obi Wan and Jinn were both considered to be among the greatest jedi EVER.

Greatest Jedi of the PT era, which was at the point the greatest era ever. But it's difficult to argue against the NJO having members that at the least equal the PT. Luke, Kyp, Corran, Jacen, Jaina, Katarn---all pretty badass. Kenobi was a great duelist, but he can be overwhelmed by the Force, as Dooku has shown us. Jinn, while powerful, hasn't been credited with feats that surpass the NJO's top dogs.

Don't forget Tekli. Nobody beats Tekli.

But if Jaina has surpassed Obi Wan, then that makes him pretty darn powerful.

Huh?

@Lucien:

Obi Wan is a very powerful jedi, and I highly doubt that anyone would claim that his power isn't yet developed. And if Jaina is even more powerful, then she HAS GREATLY developed her power. Maybe not as powerful as Luke, but actually more powerful than Anakin.

Obiwan is powerful jedi overall but I hardly call him very powerful, yes his saber skills are some of the best ever but he has hardly impressed me force wise. There are quite a few jedi that I would rank higher then him overall.

Your using an ABC argument here.

Hardly very powerful? He is the greatest Soresu practitioner in recorded history.

No, not really. Jaina surpassing someone that was among the greatest jedi ever automatically makes her powerful.

EH 👆

Kenobi was a prodigy in sabers, defensive-wise. But in the Force, he's lags behind the greats. Jaina would defeat him, not easily, but she'd do it.

Without going into detail I'd rank jedi like Galen Marek,Revan, and Kyp Durron ahead of him because of their skill with the force.

I never said she wasn't powerful.

And if Jaina is even more powerful, then she HAS GREATLY developed her power. Maybe not as powerful as Luke, but actually more powerful than Anakin.

In this post you are saying that Jaina>Obiwan, who you believe>Anakin(skywalker I assume) thus Jaina>Anakin which is an ABC argument. Which I'm not saying you are right or wrong with Jaina>Anakin but your logic certainly is.

I never said that Obi Wan > Anakin, I just meant that Obi Wan is about equal to Anakin. Jaina (according to Lucien) > Obi Wan = Anakin. Yes it is an ABC, but I never said that Jaina would beat Anakin, I'm just saying that in skill she is greater (assuming that she > Obi Wan). Sure; Anakin might beat her in a fight because he has some advantage over such as his form being suited to her form or whatever, but Lucien only said that she's surpasses Obi Wan, not that she'd beat him in a fight.

It's an erroneous statement to say Anakin=Obi-Wan. As of RoTS, Anakin had surpassed Obi-wan in the Force, and possessed the ability to wear down and break through Kenobi's Soresu---provided he was allowed to fight long enough. As we've all established that OT Vader>PT Vader (not Anakin), and Caedus equaled (or was it surpassed?) the OT Vader that Lumiya (was it?) compared him to--and Jaina, while not equaling her brother, was able to stand against him in a duel for a while, then...

It can be concluded safely that Jaina exceeds Kenobi in the Force, and maybe sabers (though I'm skeptical).
