Does anybody else miss Jacen? Not the piece of crap he became, but the deep, philosophical Jacen who used to argue with Anakin? I still miss him from the series and no, people don't blame Jaina for Jacen's fall. It was own insecurities and fear that drove him to fall. Also his cockiness had alot to do with it as well. He made the same mistakes as his grandfather. I do hate how depressing they are making the series. Currently reading Allies and Jag and Jaina just broke off the engagement. Sad...

@treyc84812 Yes, I miss the old philosophical Jacen for sure. I'm not even buying the FotJ books, I think they are missing something, characters like Jacen perhaps? I've been borrowing them from the library. Haven't read Allies yet. I'm not a fan of Jag sooo I'm not too depressed over that news, lol. I'm sure they still end up together at some point though. I'm glad I'm not the only one who misses Jacen.

i just realized again that JAINA caused JACEN to FALL know i know why you says shes so winy. you hate what she did. in my opinion jacen became a jerk in swarm war and LOTF kriff Karen Traviss for killing Mara. though who wanted jacen's to fall was it Aaron? Why don't you blame him? not JAYA. I hate how you just bite off her. Personally if any SOLO-Skywalker had to fall I want KILL Leia she Lost like 5 Lightsabers. isn't that bad dodo sor something? And don't you think of Zekk falling again.

[SwordoftheJedi]

Is this comment suppose to be to someone in particular? I for one do not blame Jaina. I do blame the authors for the direction the Star Wars books have gone. For me, when they killed off Jacen and now have disrespected Zekk, they also killed off my interest in the books. I read 'Outcast', but it just wasn't the same. That's how I feel about it, I'm sure others feel otherwise and I'm okay with that. If I knew it would go somewhere I'd take the time to write the series differently myself.

[Jayasolo2]

Zekk is coming back in FOTJ in Allies I think, Two: Kriff del ray

3: Troy denning is not to be blamed for killing jacen he did it cause NO others would.

Blame Aaron ALSTON! he wrote Jaina gave jacen the tassels so she made him sith.

4: I was gonna post a bunch of stuff by yt won't let me it was WAY over 500 words.

[SwordoftheJedi]

The writers, from what I have come to understand, made the decision of what was going to happen in the series as a group. Traviss came up with the idea to kill off Mara, she took the blame for that. But who made the choice to turn Jacen is anyone's guess. I'm surprised Troy hasn't gotten more flack through the years considering he ended up being the one writing of both of the Solo brothers' deaths. He wrote it, doesn't mean he made the choice. There's no proof that Aaron made the choice either.

"Peace is a lie. There is only passion."

That's why Jacen Solo failed as a Sith: because he went against one of the fundamental tenets of the Sith philosophy. A real Sith sees conflict as a means of self-improvement, not a pathway to peace.

[Sanguiluna]

What sucked about Jacen dying at the end of the series is that he never had a chance to really prove himself as a Sith. As far as being a Dark Lord, he wasn't all that good.

Jacen Solo was my favorite character in the Star Wars saga. I was upset when they killed him off. But they kind of play him out to be a hero in Fate of the Jedi by telling why he felt like he had to do it. To change what was to come/ supposed to happen into a brighter future as Luke finds out a lot when he goes searching for why Jacen turned.

[Oitucrem]

@treyc84812 Jancen wasn't a piece of crap ever. Be loved as a hero and see the galaxy burn , killing Skywalker or ... murder Mara Jade, become a Sith, be hated and help the galaxy survive. What a choice... what a horrible choice.

[Mandalander]

He knew that very well, but it didn't avoid him to call himself "Sith Lord" after the murder! Jacen was just a pathetic weakling - without the dignity necessary to be a true Jedi or the intransigence to become a true Sith! In the end he was just a master of self - deception!

[Mandalander]

If Jacen really understood the way of the Sith at that point he would have killed his own, little daughter or at least Tenel Ka(as Anakin killed Padme, even if it was accidentally) and then nourishing himself by the inspeakable pain! That, and just that means to be a Sith Lord! Mara always was close to him, but not the way which would make her irreplacable for him! That fact made it unpleasant for him to kill her, but it wasn't a quarter of a true sacrifice and the hellfire of pain bound to it!

[Mandalander]

Jacen never was a Sith Lord! A Sith Lord must COMPLETELY give away to the dark side! Love, Friendship-all this means NOTHING to a Sith. There's just one and only thing important for him-Power! Through Power he gains victory! And where does he get Power from? From dark feelings, especially PAIN! That's exactly what Lumiya meant when she told him to bring a sacrifice of love! LOVE!

my best series that have jacen in it is legacy of the force and new Jedi order, and dark nest he is my favorite person in those series but i cried when caedus died in invincible, fate of the Jedi is OK but it does not have jacen in it

[ytevysbhtb]

@kianajennings67 because she was his sacrifice to become a sith

[kianajennings67]

what jacen killed mara!!!!!!!???????

[Fallerup]

The poster is correct in his comment from a year ago. The writers came up with everything together... or... well, one suggested (Traviss on Mara for example), but all agreed. They wanted Jacen to be the imagine of his grandfather Anakin. In truth, the real sacrifice Jacen should have made was Tenel Ka or Allana, not Mara. If Jacen was a real Sith wannabe (at the time), he would have killed one of them. But like his grandfather, he was too pathetic to make that choice. Jacen is not special.
