Fanclub Jacen Solo Fan Club: Forever in the Light

Wait Tahiri accused him of rape. If anyone was having sex it was Tahiri.

 

I agree with you on the last point, Jacen wasn't a swashbuckling sword swinging, butcher the bad guy get the girl sort of hero. He was socially awkward, asked philosophical questions, and was just all around more interesting.

 

We really need to reboot the post NJO universe.

Though ending with the NJO series is fine too.

 

I concur completely. As much I hate him being made into a villain he was even disrespected by being made into a poor villain. An inconsistently written villian, a villain that got pinned to a chair.

If they wanted to make a real villain-have him say kill Kyle Katarn and the team sent to kill him, have him recruit Jedi to his side or at least have sympathizers, Seha was a spy-having willing Caedus sympathizers in the Jedi order that would be a cool plot.

Have him actually ya know stand up to Luke. Lumiya managed to hold off Luke bloodlusted after his wife died? Caedus can't even sense his presence? Now I see why Krayt didn't take him seriously!

It's just so angering.

 

That chair scene, both chair scenes were still hilarious imo.

Jacen should have been above the Jedi and Sith thing.

Helping both sides become closer.

 

Yeah if he had transcended both that would have been better.

 

Well I'm not sure if we should judge him as a Sith, as he never really was one.
And to be honest I hate his whole turn to the darkside plot for obvious reasons.
Is there anyone here in this fanclub who prefers Caedus over Jacen?

P.S: Was there ever a truly succesfull Sith?

 

I don't think any of us prefer Caedus over Jacen, or we wouldn't have the subtitle "Forever in the Light, I do think he could have been a good anti hero or even Villain in some respects if handled right. He could have accepted Lumiya's teachings, made clear to his family his agenda and had conflict from there. That obviously was beyond the writers though.

No I think we all love Jacen. It's just we're upset that not only was he made(wrongly) I think into a villain he was made into a bad villain.

 

Well that's where ya go. I think palpatine came closest to ultimate victory. Had Luke been converted, he would have been dark God of the universe within a 1000 years, the man was quite literally darkness incarnate in Star Wars. Even Vitiate as aweful as he was never got that far.

 

Well then they really were aping the prequels weren't they.

 

Which was supremely irritating, because, hello, we've already seen this, can we get something different, please?

I think if they wanted parallels they could have done them better. Star Wars history and legends in particular if it has any grand theme, it is that history is cyclical.

I think had they had different and better writers for LOTF they could have made something amazing. They just didn't though.

 

LOTF should have been Sith/Old Republic era.

 

I thought that Betrayal had potential - was actually looking forward to Jacen exploring what it actually meant to be a Sith, maybe even finding different beliefs and interpretations. Walking this fine line between learning and falling. *sigh*

The vision of Jacen talking to Lumiya at the end. I still want to know what that was about.

 

Wait the dark Jacen that went on about fading into nothingness, if that was anything that was Lumiya's vision of what she wanted.

I wonder had they followed through with the idea of dark Luke being a motivation-that would have been terrifying. And a good motivation to take his place if you ask me.

Pity they didn't follow through with that.

 

Seeing the vision that Jacen killed Luke come back and play a role would have been nice.

 

Now actually having an evil Luke in 40 ABY would have made an excellent infinities.

 

I wonder how could Luke have ended up going dark at that point? Surely that was impossible at that point in Luke's career, I would have loved to see it.
