It's still not done? Christ.

God's work is never done.

Working on it now.

As of the early chapters of Betrayal, Solo's lightsaber prowess is still pretty weak (compared to what I expected), but I'm impressed by other areas of his arsenal.

He can move his hand fast enough to absorb a blaster shot fired from just a lightsaber-length away.

He can also summon Force Visions apparently at will, and uses them as would other individuals use Danger Sense.

He's also masterful in Shatterpoint, which I already knew due to his later feat against the Mandalorian armor, but still good to see it again.

Also, the retcon of the Dark Man being Krayt and not Caedus is so utterly absurd story-wise.

Luke is feeling his presence in Jedi situation rooms that there is no possible way Krayt could have been in.

Maybe Caedus was unknowingly a Child of the Kraytperor.

A cool prophecy for Solo in Betrayal:

He will rename himself
He will ruin those who deny justice
He will choose the fate of the weak
He will immortalize his love
He will choose how he will be loved
He will win and break his chains
He will shed his skin and choose a new skin
He will strengthen himself through sacrifice
He will crawl through his cloak
He will know brotherhood
He will make a pet
He will strengthen himself through pain
He will be drawn from peace into conflict

What power is this?

Jacen accepted the information with a simple nod. "It means something like 'He will be drawn from peace into conflict,' or maybe 'His life will be balanced between peace and conflict.' "

The scholar gave him a curious look. "How do you know?"

"Believe it or not, I just feel it. The tassel's meaning is imbued within it in a fashion that only a Force-wielder can read."

"I can't read it," Nelani said.

Jacen shrugged. "Maybe when you've broadened your range of Force-related learning a bit."

Nephthys The Gr8est!!!!!!!!

Force users have an intuitive understanding of languages. Or perhaps whatever they're reading was imbued with the force in some capacity. Perhaps some sort of clairvoyance. Something like how Luke sensed that Leia was his sister. 😖hrug:

I don't think its necessary to put that in a respect thread though, lol.

"Because only you could read and understand one of the tassels. Only you could detect its significance. And so you'd demand to be the one who investigated it."

I think it's worth a mention. Lumiya said only Solo could read it. Perhaps that's explained later on though.

Nephthys The Gr8est!!!!!!!!

Sounds like some destiny shit, it was created to be read by him. The tassels were imbued with the force in such a way that they'd resonate with Jacens force signature and he could intuitively understand them, perhaps.

No-one is gonna use this feat for anything. Its useless. Muda muda muda!

.
The Jaden novel woulda touched on that I believe, perhaps the Clones created by the One Sith were imbued with some sort of ability that allowed Krayt to use their bodies?

I need to ask Kemp tbh

That sounds awful.
