Hey hey happy , was hoping I could join up in this fan club. Been a big fan of Jacen since I first read some of the older books, and then the YJK series. happy

I thought Remnant was pretty good, although ya there were a few things that I had to gripe about (mainly just the flow of the story, which wasn't bad, just kind of seemed a bit rushed in parts to me). I also was confused as to wheather or not Jacen had a beard, lol, however I think he probably shaved it off?

Traitor cover ruled, wish we had the Japanese covers over here :\.

Well, it's not exactly a plague, more like a really itchy fungal infection...er, nevermind...
Ewwww....yeah, let's not mention it. *whispers* is it athlete's foot?

[spoiler space...in Germany, this is expensive.]









1. In the scene where in he visits Tahiri in the hospital he leaves her a note and his handwriting is described as neat and confident, does this fit with what you imagined Jacen's handwriting being like? I guess it works, but it's a place where he is different from me. My handwriting is messy and gives away all of my insecurities.
Actually, I was surprise to hear that Jacen could write period. I mean, don't they usually use data pads? A lot of people today use computers so much to writer (er, type) that they can't write well at all. I imagine his handwriting was only neat because he was reproducing the GFFA alphabet from how it looks typed. happy

2. Before that, when Jacen is doing whatever he did to make Tahiri go to sleep it says that "In the shadow of [Jacen's] hand, she smelled Anakin..."
Maybe they have the same cologne....

[End spoiler space...]
Danni, you've raised a very important question that I definitely think should have been addressed earlier: Jacen's beard. Hate it? Love it? *reporter mode* What do you think?

Personally, I dislike it. There are only a few people who are aloud to wear beards and they are: Jesus, Santa Claus, and Commander Reiker (baby face Reiker just didn't look right). Any one else had better reach for the razor.

Oh come on, Danni's growing on you, isn't she? By the end of the Force Heretic trilogy you'll all want to join the Danni Quee Fan Club, right?
*looks sick to her stomach*

Okay, no chance, I know. But it's one of the little delusions that makes me happy, so please humor me.

Uhhh...I don't know if I have that much humor sad


wink

Actually, Danni Quee, we agree on two things: We both like Bob Dylan and Douglas Adams. Yay! I just need the Meaning of Liff and the Deeper Meaning of Liff to make my collection complete happy

Also, I thought that was a really nice note "You will always be family to us" and I was a bit disappointed that Tahiri ripped it up and threw it away. I would have saved it. But I guess I'm more sentimental than her.
Yeah, me too.

*old timer voice*
Woah there, ya kids should be more carful. You left a double post about a mile back...
silly

Well, I hope to see more of Jacen is the coming books (and his beard wink ).

Welcome Obi-Wan21 and WilliamsF1, and welcome back ForceAlly. happy

Danny_Quee: Congrats on your 100th post! happy Just remember, it isn't the quantity, its the quality. wink Or so I'm told... laugh

Oh come on, Danni's growing on you, isn't she? By the end of the Force Heretic trilogy you'll all want to join the Danni Quee Fan Club, right?

I have to admit liking Danni much more now than I did when Vector Prime came out. happy Who knows what the future may bring? wink happy

I got a big kick out of number 3. laugh I think the Force Heretic authors decided that Jacen had shaved his beard at some point after Destiny's Way but before their novel. After all, it does only take a few minutes with an electric shaver (or a lightsaber if he's being very, VERY careful wink ). happy

Nice to see you again, ForceAlly! Welcome to WilliamsF1!



Jacen's beard. Hate it? Love it? *reporter mode* What do you think?

Well, Jacen is fully capable of making decisions about his hair for himself, and I'm sure it makes him look mature. Personally, I just don't Jacen as a beard-type guy. It reminds me of Obi-Wan in AOTC....maybe that's the point? For the reader to make a connection between Jacen and Obi-Wan?



I think the Force Heretic authors decided that Jacen had shaved his beard at some point after Destiny's Way but before their novel. After all, it does only take a few minutes with an electric shaver (or a lightsaber if he's being very, VERY careful

laugh
That's got to be one of the more creative uses for lightsabers that I've heard, Lady_Jedi_Carenix!



Oh come on, Danni's growing on you, isn't she? By the end of the Force Heretic trilogy you'll all want to join the Danni Quee Fan Club, right?

Not likely. I still can't stand her. Not as long as there is still hope for a Jacen/Tenel Ka pairing, anyway. silly

Well, this place has gotten more lively now. And it's all thanks to my great post! Or maybe not. silly

But I'm glad my post got some discussion going.

1. Interesting suggestions JJS and Geist. I think Tahiri immediately recognized his handwriting suggesting people do actually write stuff out occasionally in the GFFA. Maybe they don't have enough datapads to leave them around for every little note...I don't know.

2. Again, interesting ideas. But I stand by my "Ewwwww! That's creepy." I guess the truth is I didn't really want to read about how Anakin, or even Jacen, smelled. Of course, I didn't mind reading about how Danni smelled, so I have a total double standard here.

3. I'm glad you got a big kick out of this, Lady_Jedi_Carenix. I hoped it would be pretty amusing. For the rest of the day I wrote it I kept laughing at "Never stop asking questions about facial hair, Jacen." Yeah...I need to get a life.

JJS, I was just wondering, what you agreed about in #3? That my little scene should be in the next book? confused

Geist: Jacen's beard. Hate it? Love it? *reporter mode* What do you think?

No comment! Well, I was really hoping he'd keep it so then the next time I wanted to say something that would strike someone really weird, I could yell out "I like Jacen Solo and his beard!" (Okay, everyone who can name the Bob Dylan song that that line is a silly parody of/reference to wins...uh, my respect for their musical knowledge and taste. Yeah, it ain't much of a prize)

I kinda liked the beard because it put more of a distance between Jacen now and Jacen on the covers of some of the YJK books where he had an eerie resemblence to Jonathan Taylor Thomas. *shudders*

Okay, really seriously, it doesn't matter to me. I'm not that good at visualizing characters anyway, so I guess the beard doesn't seem that important to me. But if that's true, why the heck did I bring it up? confused

NaboosPrincess: Not likely. I still can't stand her. Not as long as there is still hope for a Jacen/Tenel Ka pairing, anyway

Oh, why must you ruin my happy delusions, Princess? wink silly

And back to Geist: I just need the Meaning of Liff and the Deeper Meaning of Liff to make my collection complete

Yeah, I don't own copies of those either. Got them out of the library, though. I could probably buy them online somewhere, but I prefer going to real bookstores. I love looking around used bookstores and find some cool, weird old book for $1. Yes, I am a dork.

And welcome back ForceAlly and welcome to WilliamsF1!

I think we should definately give the new guy an admissions essay. ES-SAY! ES-SAY! silly

*randomly runs into the thread and hugs ForceAlly* I'm loving you for the find of the JP T cover. XD I already stuck it on my Jacen Solo site. Along with new avatars and a smilie. Bwahahaha!

Yeah; I'm still not done with Remnant. *kicks school* But I will be soon.

And on the issue of the beard: With or without is cool with me. As long as the beard stays short and neatly trimmed. Jacen with a scruffy, scraggly beard would just be... ugh... I don't even want to think about it. ;D

Now why can't we get those kind of covers? That cover is about 100000000 times better than the one we got :\.

Danny_Quee: JJS, I was just wondering, what you agreed about in #3?

I was just agreeing about how something should have been said about his beard.

NaboosPrincess: It reminds me of Obi-Wan in AOTC....

Jacen’s beard does that for me too. Which is a bad thing in my case, considering that I don’t exactly look very favorably upon Obi-Wan’s track record...

Aww...my first double post on the other page. Isn't it cute?
Total accident, actually...I didn't think it posted the first time cause the computer I'm using had another psychological breakdown. But, at least it worked the second happy

Ooh...that Japanese cover is awesome. Is that Jacen fighting with the amphistaffs? I'm guessing the guy on the second part is Ganner, since he has clothes on silly
