She died already during the YV war. Her son Lord Nyax - from the Enemy Lines duology - killed her on Coruscant.

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!

The Emperor's Hands are dead, dead, dead. devil


but his ears, eyes and reaches still live! Long lives Marek Stele!


well as for the spoilers...

I hate Jacen's Sith name, I prefered Paxis.
About the deaths: Well I hate that they were so obvious. But the how they happened seems to be interesting enough, despite the yet unknown consequences.

PS: If there is anything we learned from Legacy, Denning and Co: There is no death, there is the Force. they might still return and live again! Force Ghosts, Force Doppelganger, etc.

Maybe Mara knew some tricks? Maybe Lumiya did for sure!

I'm getting tired of the authors not doing anything with her. Jacen has this huge story, falling to the dark side, murdering all kinds of people, doing all sorts of mean and nasty, ugly things. And Jaina... has a trail of boyfriends.

I mean, I'm not going to lie, her romantic angle is fun to read, but I wish she would do something! frustrated

But thanks. happy


Sorry, I'm at work and literally blanking on some things. I had to think about it for a moment and she's in the book quite a bit, has a long talk with Mara about her boyfriends and responsibilities as a Jedi, a nice heart to heart as well as helping Luke try to track down Mara and, iirc, is at Luke's side when he finds out that Mara has died.

Earlier in the novel she is very much a part of the discussions about how to hunt the Siths, Lumiya and Alema, down and what to do about Jacen.

So, she's actually in the novel quite a bit, but as more of a supporting character, but she's very, very much a part of the novel and is a great help to both Luke and Mara throughout the book.

There's also a council session on what to do about Jacen. I dimly remember that it's interrupted by Mara returning from having fought Lumiya and the session being called because Mara is wounded and Luke needs to spend time with her and debrief her over how her hunting went.

Hope that helps.


*head explodes* AAAAWESOME!!!!

That TOTALLY helped. Thank you sooooo much.

*tears up at Mara and Jaina's final goodbye*

I'm sorry, I wasn't upset at you, it's just frustrating to see her taking a backseat to her twin, and has been for so long.

I know I speak for everyone here when I say we really appreciate the spoilers. hugs grin

Wait...so does Ben assassinate Dur Gejjen?

And it's too bad that Luke didn't get offed. I think a vengeful Mara, extremely pissed Sword of the Jedi Jaina, and a potential Grand Master Leia Solo would've made a helluva cool turn for the EU.

I gotta agree with you, but realistically it was never gonna happen. Maybe two outta three ain't bad?

Wow. That's a ton of deaths. Mara. Lumiya. Dur Gejjen. Jori Lekauf.

Insane.

Beccatoria, here's hoping that we at least get Jaina Solo becoming the perfect Jedi to Jacen's "perfect Sith." It's high time the sword becomes unsheathed.

QFT.

That would have been so much better. But Allston made it pretty clear who Jacen was going to kill 32 pages into Betrayal.

Hello peoples!

Been touring these boards, lurking sithly in the shadows for a few years, and i think i have a good theory to post finally!

Remember everything we've ever heard of the dark side, most specifically: "Once you start down the dark path, forever will you dominate your destiny."

Luke let's it all out on Lumiya in this book. What if Jacen's sacrifice, as is stated as not being anything but Ben's admiration, wasn't the "Sith" sacrifice that happenned in this book? What if instead of killing one sith lord and gaining another(Though Jacen's did indeed end up a cop out as some suspected, whether he calls himself a Sith or Not), we actually got one dead sith lord, and TWO new ones.

It's been metnioned Luke kills Shira, then wonders whether he still had feelings for her. It was a few pages back i believe. What if Lumiya was Luke's Sacrifice? What if the Inferno coming and the ensuing Fury are exactly what we thought...Both Luke's at Jacen, and a Sith lord's upon the galaxy....And they end up being one and the same.

Darth Skywalker Reborn. skull

The Jacen/Luke battle everyone knows coming would be like old ways...Sith battling to be the Master, hopefully with Luke killing Jacen. To me this would be the best, as it would elimiante Jacen w/out any hope of redeeming him(as most seem to do not want another redemption). This also sets the stage for Jaina,Leia,Ben to strut their stuff as jedi, and would allow for strife within the jedi order.

As an added bonus, it would bring the Skywalker "Legacy" full circle, with Ben possibly redeeming Luke near the end.

Thats my 2 cents,feel free to bash or praise.

P.S. Thanks for early spoilers guys!


Cant figure out how to black out my message spoilers >_<. Sorry.
