Screw the NJO.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the continuation of the story.

Most excellent!
"He took the opportunity to punch the Emperor in the gut with his free hand, and winced. He’d forgotten about the body armor. "
This reminded me of a scene near the end of the Nicholson/Keaton 'Batman' movie. The Joker "spits" a pair of plastic chattering teeth on the floor. While Batman is distracted, Joker takes the opportunity for a cheap shot punch to Batman's gut. Unfortunately, he too forgot about the body armor... and he dances around in pain after his hand crunches ineffectively and painfully against Batman's suit.
"And now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But as my plastic surgeon always said... If you've gotta go, go with a smile!"

GFFA Luke and Mara or Dark Luke and Mara? *flips coin* You have me guessing, riveted, right to the end.
Gandolf, you really are writing what should have happened in the NJO. I know a lot of people are upset with LFL and DR for daring to kill off loved characters, but you don't have qualms about that either. You just do it well. Jacen's choice was appropriate on so many levels. His grandfather really would be proud.
The little tidbits like the reference to the Evil Overlord Guide and Vader's assassin droids are fantastic. They ground the story, make it real. I am going to miss it, though... 
(Of course, the preview for I, Sith is promising. Can't wait.)

I hope Jacen doesn't die. I actually like your Jacen. All I can say about that post was WOW! If there are any LFL or Del Rey lurkers on this story,.... give this guy a contract.

What the kriff? My post disappeared!
Anyway as I had said.....
I think Jacen is dead since not many can survive a lightsaber wound to the chest.
I hope that when Gandolf starts wrapping up the story he doesnt forget the LGFFA, especially Thrawn. I gotta know what happened to him and if Fel gets his son back.

Wow. I keep saying that, but it's always true.
The fight between LGFA Luke and Mara and Emporer/Emporess Luke and Mara is amazing.
Jacen's part was breathtaking. I loved the fog distraction. I do not doubt that Jacen is dead, but I think his death was truly worthy and noble. For one thing, given the effects of millions of deaths on the Dark Side, I wouldn't have wanted to see what Billions woudl have done. Jacen's sacrifice may well make it possible for Light to triumph in the end.
Jacen had to make a terrible choice and it almost certainly resulted in his death--but given the circumstances I think he might actually have prefered that. He wanted the "normal" life of a Jedi Master--perhaps a family, but certainly always persuing a greater understanding of the Force. Although I think he did what needed to be done in this case, I think causing so many innocents to die would have tarnished the rest of his life. Yes, it was neccessary to save the lives of others, but it was still his action, and I doubt that a peace-loving Jedi could ever achieve a "normal" life again after such an event.
Whoa, I'm going to stop babbling now.
This is an amazing story, Gandolf, and I really think you should look into writing professionally. However, I don't think Del Ray would consider you; your attitude towards Anakin and your characterization of everyone else (like actually giving them consitent personalities) goes against the party line. [I do actually like the NJO--sometimes--but this is better.]

IMHO, the only way to salvage the NJO at this point is to recycle the paper it's printed on.

WOW!!!
That was awesome!!!
It's really sad that Jacen has to die, but I also think that he couldn't have lived with all those deaths on his mind...
