For continuity sake, I hope she does write him a little insane. Because I'm getting sick of this personality flip flop going on in this series. And for the love of pete, Traviss, please...please don't write Luke as Sweeney Todd again  .
For continuity sake? They already ruined that when they turned him into a raving lunatic...I see no problem continuing the trend. Atleast it will make the story some what readable.

The point of the series? DR gets to sell 9 books.
And if Jacen would die, would that then give the series more meaning, a message that it would otherwise lack? I don't think so. Whatever the ending, the message is the same: You can't be a Sith and not to be evil, you can't be a Sith and do good things.
And Ben is totally responsible for ruining his own life - and the lives of his victims. 
I think we got that message with Anakin's story and even Revan's story. How many times must this story be told? Yes, we know Sith are evil and crazy. And Ben is partly responsible sense he listened to Jacen but it's also Jacen's fault for going loopy. It's also Luke and Mara's fault for not taking Ben away from Jacen.

Probably as many times as the story of the redemption of someone who has fallen to the Dark Side...

With all efforts to end Sith Lord Jacen Solo's tyranny of the Galactic Alliance doomed to failure, his sister Jaina risks everything to track him down, while Ben Skywalker, haunted by the dark suspicion that Jacen had killed his mother, searches for the truth, and Luke contemplates once unthinkable tactics to bring his nephew down.
Oh boy  . Ladies and gentlemen, here is Karen's take on Luke Skywalker:
“There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit – and it's filled with people who are filled with s*** - and the vermin of the world inhabit it – and its morals aren’t worth what a pig would spit – and it goes by the name of Coruscant.”
Karen, you're great. You're superbe. You write Fett really, REALLY well( in fact, I want her to write a Boba Fett series) But writing Luke and Jedi....is not something you are good at.

Here's hoping they strip Jacen of the force and exile him. I could see Jaina, during her ultimate duel with Jacen about to be killed and then suddenly she does something and, BAM!, Jacen is nothing but a regular guy with an attitude problem. Luke then, knowing he killed his wife, exiles him to the unknown regions never to be seen again. I think it would be a way better ending than killing him. Make him really suffer for what he's done.

The unthinkable... maybe he actually listens to his son! 
No, wait, they said unthinkable... not impossible.
I like the idea of contemplating stripping the Force from Jacen. That would be quite a nice "unthinkable" without Luke adding to the list of people behaving crazy.

^But of course he will be part of the list. Only ludicrous out of character things happen in this series. Strip Jacen of the Force, that would show Luke is somewhat light. No they are going to show why Luke and Jacen are mentally irregular. I already know what tactics he's thinking about. He's thinking about turning to the Dark Side to stop Jacen. Sacrifice his soul to destroy Caedus.

This previews are oddly unhelpful contradictory.
The Amazon synopsis:
In his new mantle as Sith Lord, Jacen Solo's dark powers reach a peak as he continues to crush opposition across the warring galaxy and bring his dream of a new order closer to fruition.
and this:
The eighth installment in the new
multi-volume Star Wars series Legacy
of the Force—starring Luke, Han, Leia,
and the other New Jedi Order heroes
—finds the tide turning against brutal
new Sith Lord Jacen Solo.
Has anyone seen the back cover blurb? It should already have been released, no?

[quote=leia7]If they don't tell Luke, that will show that the series is getting absurd. They don't have to blab it, and probably wouldn't since Allana would be in more danger. But, telling Luke and Tenel Ka would be minimal. Sad to say, but this would give Luke hope that Jacen could be brought back from the dark side - because he would see the parallel with his own father, setting up another Skywalker-Solo argument and prolonging the book.
They are not going to tell Luke. In lotF, people like Han and Leia aren't that smart. I mean, Ben tried to Leia that Jacen might've killed Mara. Remember her intelligent response  .
Ah, yes, be prepared for another episode of the Spectacularly Stupid Skywalkers.
Leia: Luke, meet Allana, she's Jacen's daughter.
Luke: I demand proof!
Leia: But she's right here Luke. She's the one who told us.
Luke: Lies! Jacen must have mind rubbed her to trick us into believing he can be saved!
Leia: But Luke...
Luke: I know! She must be Lumiya's daughter Brisha come to decieve us!
Leia: Luke...
Luke: Unless there is wedding night footage I shall not believe more of Jacen's lies!
Don't pretend you'd be surprised if it happened. 
I can actually picture this happening. Also this:
Ben: Everyone! I have proof that Jacen killed my mom.
Luke and Leia: Sure, Ben.
Ben: But look. Look at the evidence.
Leia: Ben, you do know that it's probably false evidence that was planted by Alema to throw us all off. We're not that stupid.
Ben:

Surprised - no. But I'd blame it on lousy authors rather than dumb characters

Only if Allston were writing the last book.
(would SO read that )
I'd like the Force-stripping idea. Something from the past, an ability of last resort, and it gives them the cop-out of not having killed the crazy bugger. Redemption seems a bit trite at this point. Just my opinion, but I'd like Jacen to continue to believe he was right to the end, even if it's spending the rest of his life in the GFFA equivalent of a mental ward or an embittered exile.

But if he was stripped of the Force...haven't we done this before? Becoming a darksider in order to achieve a noble goal, eventually becoming a fullblown Sith Lord, killing relatives and former friends, being heavily involved with a war, getting stripped of the Force? Maybe later being redeemed? Sounds way too much like a repeat of the Ulic Qel-Droma storyline.
But dying to save Allana is a Vader rehash, and being mind-wiped and reprogrammed was what happened to Revan. Is there anything that makes sense but hasn't been done already?
I mean, I'd like Jaina to kill him, but that's not gonna happen because Star Wars is about redemption and crap like that.

Well there is something that hasn't been done. Jaina beats Caedus but doesn't kill him. Caedus is pissed off and goes off ranting that he can't lose because he's right and invincible. So he tries to flow walk but Jaina grabs on to him and they struggle in the space time continuum. Jaina wins the struggle and goes rocketing through the continuum and back to the regular time period. Caedus starts screaming and ends up trapped inside the space time continuum.

I'd like to see a combination of Jacen being stripped of the Force and redeemed, but not really forgiven. I like the idea of a repentent, powerless Jacen on a self-imposed exile for the rest of his life.
