FoTJ: Allies

I read in the Star Wars insider that there is a huge turn of events. Possibly someone dies, but it made reference that Ben and Vestara become closer . . . possibly romantically and she defects. So, any opinions on what will happen?

I wonder what the "staggering truth" is.

It'll be interesting how the alliance between Luke/Ben and the Tribe goes. Based on the blurb about Vortex, they're still allies, albeit "treacherous allies" by Vortex, so they won't completely split but there will likely be many fights and betrayals between them. Also, the Sith still seem to totally underestimate Luke and Ben, especially Luke.

Daala is really pushing the Jedi here. I wonder what this new law's going to be, and if the GA and Jedi will becomes enemies or something.

As for the Moth plot, I'm not sure. Will it succeed? IDK. Still skeptical about Niathal's "suicide".

Oh, and what happened to all of those side characters that seemed to be important but suddenly disappear? Like that Anakin Solo look-alike and Dorvan's assistant?

And Zekk. Did I miss something, or was this the first time Zekk was mentioned since Invincible?

Spoiler:
Apparently Luke defeats Abeloth; sounds dumb for the apparent archvillain to be beaten so early,

Maybe luke is Abeloth

No, silly, Luke is Leia.

Abeloth is clearly Darth Revan.

this is deep brah

What if Callista is?

What if Bandon is?

Oh, and how do you know that Luke defeats Abeloth? Are spoilers leaking out?

Oh, thanks for spoilering that HWKA. 😛

Oops...sorry!

Can Rex, like, edit it?

Spoiler:
According to my informant, the battle is apparently more of a spiritual/internal conflict than a duel to the death.

Translation: Luke is apparently questioning his sexual orientation and Abeloth is his conservative mother/father/tentacle abyssal demon thingy. In the end, Luke triumphs by being brave enough to flaunt it; Abeloth dissipates into the Great Republican Unknown, hissing about Obama's socialist overtures, and vanishes. LukexHan plz?

Only becuase you asked nicely- http://www.fanfiction.net/movie/Star_Wars/10/2/0/1/0/634/636/0/0/1/

Would you also care for some graphic BrucexJoker action that severely disturbed me?

Is this book out yet? Gideon, where are you getting your info?

Spoiler:
TFN... maybe.

I got a bunch of spoilers as well from that site about Allies.

Apparently...grr...IDK how to create a spoilers highlight-to-read thingy.

Thanks!

So, apparently

Spoiler:
Jaina (I think it's Jaina and not Jag) breaks the engagement with Jag/Jaina
As said by Gideon, Luke beats Abeloth
Tahiri admits to sleeping with Caedus aka Jacen
Dyon is almost killed/killed
When Luke was mindwalking in Abyss, that presence he thought was Mara is/was apparently actually Castilla, although Castilla is dead

And some others as well.

That third spoiler made me seriously facepalm. Just urk.....

I will actually be bothered in a negative way if Jaina breaks it off with Jag. They are the only love story I have believed in in the entire saga. Their chemistry is just well-written to this point.

Yeah but seriously...Jacen gets around...

Anyways, I've overall been disappointed with FOTJ so far. Sure, there are some fun action moments and some "touching SW family moments", but it feels to me like the issue is dragging on too slowly.

ALSO

The Jedi, rest of the GA, and the public are all letting Daala throw her strange ideals around WAY too much. I mean, just coming out of a brutal war where the GA and the Jedi were enemies, you'd think the galaxy would have more sense than to allow Daala to make the government so anti-Jedi. And Daala herself, for that matter. A GA Chief of State. It makes no sense. Seeing as she was such a despised Imperial leader during the Galactic Civil War, why was the government so eager to hand over the reigns of the successor of the Rebel Alliance to her? She probably even has a few outstanding arrest warrants that nobody's cashed in yet.
