    (((SPOILERS)))









    According to GhentZ and those who had already read Dark Journey - Anakin is buried in a Vader-esque manner at his funeral. If his body is burned, can Anakin still be alive? Or can his spirit still return?

    Your thoughts?

    I think this shuts the door on any return by Anakin, at least as we know him. An author would have to get really creative and unfortunately probably really cheesy to resurrect him in some form now.

    I think burning his body like this was meant to give closure, there isn't anything more final than cremation.

    I suppose the spirit-form scenario could still work, though. I have no desire to see him in spirit form, though, except maybe for the closure it would provide.

    I think that the spirit form would be an interesting option... maybe if nothing else to console Tahiri. [face_plain]

    Possible prequel rumors:





    The power to ghost may be tied to the power to disapear on death.

    In light of Ghentz report of Rebecca's spoilers, the only way I can see Anakin returning is if the body really wasn't Anakin. Then, I could not see how they would make that mistake. I can't believe he's gone!

    "The power to ghost may be tied to the power to disapear on death."

    Oh geez, that slipped my mind. Although it still doesn't completely rule out a return by Anakin's spirit.

    If that is the case, how do we account for his words after "death"? Wasn't he yelling at Jaina after he died? Can he do that without the spirit form?

    I need to go back a re-read that.

    Also, It was mentioned somewhere(dan wallace, or someone else) that LFL locked down ghosting and disapearing because of prequel films. Lucas has important things to say about it. So they are waiting until after films are completed before we will see anymore ghosting in the novels.(rules activated after release of MAS books.)

    But this isn't 100% stopped, because Lucasarts had a ghosted jedi in there recent game GBG. But they are closer to lucas to get that right though, because it's his direct company, being a direct company may make a difference.

    We will just have to wait and see, but the odds are pretty low we will get anything.

    If it is found out that Anakin is dead I sure will look at the EU differently from now on, since I've liked Anakin "Solo" since he was introduced in Empire's End

    I think we should change Jimmy's nickname to "Rasputin" instead. :)

    Yes even I, of the most rabid "ways Jimmy can return" threads, believe him now to be dead. It's not outside the realm of possibility that the Vong took a sample of tissue to clone before the Jedi rescued the body, but that's bordering on non-existent given that Stackpole didn't write the book. (Not a dig -- just used to his BattleTech novels where people who are merely presumed dead always return...)

    So sad. Boo. Oh well.

    Yet one more way in which this storyline has begun to really suck.

    Corran and isard did that "death" thing too.


    I think his new name should be "flame-grilled". But that's just me :)

    Anakin: Mom, why couldn't you have named me Yoda Solo. I really, really would've liked to die of old age instead of you burning me to death.

    Leia: Shut up, Anakin. And keep an eye on the marshmellows. If they burn, it's your fault.

    I can see a recreation of the scene from ROTJ. Luke and Co. are trying to put the torch to Anakin and he's tied up trying to blow the torch out. :D

    Since so many of the evil guys died and returned, why not for once one of the good ones?

    If so, i hope for a very creative way to bring him back.
