Darth-Ghost posted:Cade could be a reflection of Han pre-ANH, before he decided to go back to help Luke destroy the Death Star. Han Solo was a drug smuggler working for the Hutts, after all.
Nobody 145 posted:Hm, Zayne and Luke aren't really alike, in terms of personality, but... both are idealistic, purehearted characters, I guess you could call them that. Though these days I'm liking Zayne more than Luke, after all the recent novels, though Zayne himself isn't perfect, but in some ways, Zayne has a bigger sense of grand destiny about him than even Luke has had recently... well, maybe the OT Luke was like this. What I mean is that while Zayne doesn't have good luck, and is still a bit clumsy, he's also at times extraordinarily lucky, running into old friends, having escape ships crash near him, etc.
Nobody145 posted:Anyway, hm, in terms of archetypes... well, both Zayne and Cade live in somewhat dark periods, though Cade's era is probably one of the darkest Star Wars era short of the actual Dark Times post-RotS.
