The book cover blurbs and many of the characters told us how dangerous Caedus was, but we rarely ever saw it. Kyle Katarn should've died by Caedus's hand. Perhaps some of the other well known Jedi too. I think it's time to move some of those guys off the stage and prepare for Jaina and then Ben's generation of Jedi to step forward. Caedus could've been a great instrument to do that while also upping his cred.

The problem with this argument is that it consistently argues that Ben, Jaina, and Jacen are being held back by the Old Generation. I argue, instead, they're just not as interesting.

This and they have gone to great lengths to cut down the new generation while the old withers on the vine, aging into uselessness. correction...aging into "60 is the new 40" to cover for a poorly plotted concept.

Don't get this mentality.

Heck, just Luke was enough, but... originally, the twins killing each other prophecy just seemed like another crazy, evil Vong idea, and now they turned out to be right. Good thing Anakin didn't have a twin at least. Wouldn't Caedus just kill them all? Seriously, it's actually canon that 12 Jedi is no more effective than the most effective one as we saw with Palpatine. Mace only starts winning after the dead weight is gone.
