Jaina vs Vader's apprentice with a twist. This is before Starkiller learned his true identity and became a Jedi. So he is fully using the dark side. Jaina has her Mando training so wins this battle?

Jaina uses a clever force trick(topless) and stabs him in the face.

As much as I like Jaina as the Sword of the Jedi, she's had few very impressive feats to her name. For some reason, neither the authors nor Lucas seem to care much about developing her character into an actual warrior (*cough cough* Jaina's embarassing display of being caught in an electric net, being rendered helpless, and having to be saved by Katarn - from the Outcast novel).
Top 3 feats I recall:
1) TUF: Jaina against the Yuuzhan Vong Slayers, although it has been said she was in a meld, so meh.
2) Duel with Caedus and his defeat (the first duel, Luke dooped Caedus into thinking Caedus was fighting Luke rather than Jaina through Force projection, and the second time, he was missing an arm).
3) She's demonstrated her ability as an incredible pilot, better than Caedus, and maybe better than Han Solo (don't blast me!)?
I'm not really sure why that would be the last thing you need on your mind. Is the front of your mind taken up by... male genatalia...or something...?

LOL. I am trying to remain impartial in this duel, and the topless strategy steer towards a win for Jaina...hands down. So much for a lifetime of training for Marek. Personally, I'd rather have her start in a two-piece, and go from there, maybe a little strip tease.
Seems like a sound strategy to me. Distraction can be deadly.

She is absolutely NOT a better pilot than Caedus. In Inferno LUke and Caedus are flying in front of Jaina, and she is frustrated by how much better they are than her. She can't even line up a shot at Caedus without him dodging it in such a way that it hits Luke.
I remember that scene, but it seems like that was just because Caedus stayed on Luke's tail? Do you happen to know the section in the book so I can take a look? Or if you can post.
Thats what I thought too. I just figured there must have been some impressive piloting in FOTJ for Jaina or something for him to say that. As of LOTF Jaina was definatly not a better pilot than Jacen.

well, I was going to post, bu I can't find the book. It is made very obvious by the text that Luke and Caedus were in a whole different category than Jaina though.
You'd expect Jaina to be stronger than she is; she's had quite a while to train and has Skywalker blood.
