Kidan posted:*cough* okay, now that i've gotten THAT out of the way, let's start taking this apart...
Kidan posted:Jacen is an odd mixture of Obi-Wan and Vader here. Iron will, coupled with wry amusement, and an insistence on being obeyed rather than allowing someone to grow naturally. That does bring into question Vader's own actions as a leader of the Imperial Army.
Kidan posted:I'm reminded in this of both Obi-wans statement to Anakin at the beginning of AotC, but it also harkens to Vader strangling admirals in the conference room of the Death Star.
Kidan posted:Jaina though, she reminds me of her father. I have to wonder if this was the feeling that was going through Han Solo's head when he abandoned the Imperial Military? That sense that she's ready to bolt, she doesn't want to be in this cage that Leia (Luke?) and Jacen are trying to put her into.
Kidan posted:And that points us to canon's Sword of the Jedi cage which she's stuck in as well.
Kidan posted:And of course, this talk of cages once more points us back to Jacen. Has the Vader become his new menagerie? Where he gets to put his favorite animals in new situations at a whim to see how they'll react?
Kidan posted:Of course, I understand this response as well. After all, Jacen's actions here shows that he does have something of a sister-complex in regards to Jaina. "burying his face in her hair", getting jealous of Kyp for his and Jaina's.... relations... This is not the healthiest of relationships for Jacen, culminating in his almost strangulation of Jaina as she was about to leave his quarters (is Jacen into asphyxiophilia?).
Kidan posted:I'm left wondering if he's going to convince her to kill Kyp Durron in order to ensure she remains faithful to him and the Empire (much the same way Apollo tricked Artemis into killing Orion... though there's no fear anymore of Jaina losing her chastity).
Kidan posted:Anyways, a great post, and I'm happily waiting for the next bit of A & T.
iamobiwan1970 posted:OK, so now Jacen seems to have lustful thoughts towards his sister. Works though! Just adds more to how odd he is.
iamobiwan1970 posted:I can't believe I wrote sexiest for sexist...well that's easy enough to do. 'Course K/J is sexiest (better than images of old school imp relationships like Daala/Tarkin! ).
smash128 posted:Cool cool, great update . So Jaina is going get command of Vader's old squadron, I wonder what path she'll take on either Han Solo's daughter or captain of a squadron, hmmmm. Well I liked it, can't wait for more.
angry_bendu1 posted:Self-degredation is what I do best!
angry_bendu1 posted:Well, I'll call up Webster but being dead... he's awful hard to get ahold of.
angry_bendu1 posted:Yeah, but canon Jacen sort of started his galactic domination from scratch. This one just... fell into it. Unless I missed something. Which I probably did. (see above "self-degredation" comment )
angry_bendu1 posted:Done!
angry_bendu1 posted:*Tim Gunn voice* Make it work!
angry_bendu1 posted:Oh, me like!
angry_bendu1 posted:Aww... when you cry, I cry!
angry_bendu1 posted:And it may be awesome, brilliant, and slightly twisted, but that's when K/J is at its very best! They just don't quite understand that yet... Perhaps some more scenes would educate them in K/J goodness?
angry_bendu1 posted:Hmm... history?
angry_bendu1 posted:Thank you, thank you. *takes a bow*
angry_bendu1 posted:All right!
angry_bendu1 posted:I'm not sure yet... but you sure didn't help his cause in that last post! Jacen honey, do something so that I can love you! Hug an orphan, take in a stray kitten, stop force-choking people, something!
angry_bendu1 posted:Aw, shucks...
angry_bendu1 posted:Yes, well, my parents had doubts about me being a good child and it turned out they were right... so maybe you're not too far off the mark! Besides, I'm super clumsy... But I'll try to stop revealing the super secret ImperialSolo master plans for world domination!
angry_bendu1 posted:Ah, just doin' my civic duty...
angry_bendu1 posted:And I am anxious to see what Jaina decides... a chance at your dream or a reunion with your father, it will most likely be a hard decision. Unless she has both, like flying out to see her father in a TIE... sweet!
angry_bendu1 posted:And comparing her life to her soaps! So funny...I'm still waiting for Anakin to find out that he's his father's long lost brother and Tahiri has clusters of brain tumors or something! And after the shocks you've put me through, I wouldn't be surprised.
angry_bendu1 posted:And I wonder when Farmboy will pop up in all the craziness...
angry_bendu1 posted:Awesome post, and I'm really looking forward to the next!
ccp posted:I would very much like to know which one she decided on. Great update!
morrison85 posted:ah,, I think I didnt mean him to be the father , maybe step father... anyway, Jacen is really going freaking out there O.o
Jedi_Perigrine posted:Yet another good post! The Sith twist things beyond all recognition, as surely as its twisted Jacen and Jaina. I hope somebody shows up and gives Jacen a good spanking! Looking forward to more!
Tahi posted:Jacen would enjoy a spanking.
Tahi posted:I'd like to see both - balance in other words. (No, I'm not Alema, although I am blue - it's damn cold here. ]
Tahi posted:I meant to say in my page 5 review that I liked the line where Anakin answers Tahiri and uses her name. The line reminded me, in the cadence of the words, of the line in ESB where Han uses the name Leia for the first time instead of "Princess".
Ceillean posted:Jacen is creeping me out. But I like it.
Ceillean posted:I wonder who Kyp will react once he finds out Jaina was reassigned.
Ceillean posted:And still it seems to me Jacen's jealous. I mean, yelling at her just because she was "kriffing" Kyp? When I read that sentence I couldn't help but laugh.
Ceillean posted:Great update! Sorry it took so long for me to comment.
