Anakin Solo will return... prepare for the Inevitable (theory based on LOTF Inferno regarding FOTJ )

There is one way to bring him back that fits with CeiranHarmony's fantasy...have the "Clone'akin" be given a YV first name & include in his new YV force skill set the power to make everyone forget the name Anakin. His sister or parents see the clone, think the name Anakin & then their brains get fried like they'd been tazered, then the clone says, "My name is Shimmra Han jr. Solo now!!!!".

It's the law handed down from the Maker himself, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE...Anakin.

 

to all those who liked the sudden death of Anakin because of what he might have been cut short:

in ROTS Anakins fall to the Dark Side cut a potential (but unlikely) happy end off and turned the galaxy into darkness...

in Dark Empire Lukes fall after infiltrating Palpatine nearly did the same

when Chewie died... the Solo family faced dark times

when Mara died.. the Skywalkers faced dark times

when Jacen fell to the Dark Side... the galaxy and families faced dark times

etc.

same for Anakin Solo...


the fall or death of a character always cuts something short, if not of old age. what I see here is the following pattern:

character dies/falls and Darkness takes over

in case of ROTS, Anakins RETURN to the light side ends the darkness
in Dark Empire, Lues RETURN ends the darkness
in the NJO we got several dark moments, but Jacens return from "they believed him to be dead" ended the darkness

in LOTF the darkness ended not that way as many expected but with a different move... a nearly dark move, where the lightest Jedi used the darkest way they have to end things... the worst case scenario: assassination.

the darkness did not end... we still have chaos as of FOTJ with Daala and (see spoilers in the Outcast topic)... we still got no "happily ever after" even if only for a short time.

nobody came back as saviour... just one live got chopped off and the darkness used other channels to survive

there is a difference, you see?

we still need someone... and I propose Anakin.

you might say Luke came back to his senses and turned uberpower again.. but I doubt he is, while cool, any wiser. as seen when he uses Jaina and allows assassination.

we need a LIGHT hero.. and all we got are tainted characters, which the dark side always omnipresent around them... forever will it dominate their destiney as yoda said.

and the last LIGHT Hero I can remember was Anakin Solo... he was the ideal hero, Jedi, friend, etc. a thinker, wise and helping, loving, caring and listening to the Force... not to visions, not to politicians etc. just giving himself to the force. Jacen briefly glimpsed that in TUF.. Anakin had LIVED it

 

I would love to read that story.

 

that is all a reason for him to have returned before Jacen died
now that Jacen is gone, that reason is not a good enough reason to bring him back and cheapen what his death was
during LotF? i would have agreed with you

Luke: oh great, now you show up...where were you a month ago when your brother needed a good kick in the butt?
Jaina: seriously? were you just watching while i sliced up Jacen? what took you so long?
honestly, what would be the point?

though i dont see where Vergere being a Sith has anything to do with Anakin at all

Tahiri is a secondary charactor who was redeemed by Ben
she is not a reason to cheapen what his death was

and Jacen's journey was so incredibly different than Anakin's, to compare the two doesnt make much sense
Anakin would never have thought being a Sith was correct, so of course he wouldnt have fallen

Where did Anakin come to the same conclusions that Jacen did?
never would Anakin have attempted to kill anyone in his family just to achieve his ends

i still see nothing of what he could achieve that is so important that we need to bring him back from the dead

i dont think anyone had issues with Ben at the end of LotF at all

Anakin was always the "next Luke Skywalker" which was inherited before he earned it in the NJO

and i fail to see why you think Ben is now doomed forever because he learned a little bit from Jacen
he then spent half the series learning from Luke

i tried to take your "i dont care personally about Anakin as a charactor" seriously, but cmon now, everything in that post was pure fanboy love for Anakin as a charactor

and still, i see no reason why Anakin has to return from the dead
what is there for him to accomplish?

everything you stated has happened (Tahiri redeemed by Ben) or will most likely happen (Jaina and the family healing from Jacen's actions)

again
Anakin returning to stop Jacen from becoming as evil as he was and redeeming him
that could have potentially been worth a ressurection story
noth

 

In my opinion it is too late for Anakin to return! I would have liked to see him as a force ghost at the end of LOTF - the duel between Jaina and Jacen would have been a perfect moment - but now I can neither see a logical way nor a reason to bring him back.

Anakin was a hero in the NJO who gave everything to save as many of his friends as possible. Unfortunately he had to suffer the consequences, but that's only realistic in a war as bloody as the Vong War (I don't say that Star Wars is a good place for that kind of realism).

Sadly Jacen always thought about sacrificing but also excluding his own fate from being sacrificed. Maybe it would have helped him to remeber Anakin a bit more than naming a Star Destroyer after him. But as he is dead now I can't see a sense in Anakin returning now (no matter in physical form or as a force ghost)!

Edit:

OK! You already said it!

 

No, I would not like to see that. Anakin has suffered enough. Esp since every other person just like him gets to be adored and forgiven by everyone as if they were having a bad hair day. Nope. That would be disgusting.

 

What have we said about making up cartoonishly evil agendas for the creators?

 

Well...at least your job title is correct.

 

Anakin's death was something that needed to happen. Yup, he could do a lot if he was mysteriously resurrected. That's the point. Bad things happen, and not all of them are fixed. He needs to stay dead.
Tahiri was strong enough to get over Anakin's death in NJO, she's not a reason to bring Anakin back.
If Anakin returns somehow, maybe all of you will be happy, but it'll ruin one of the best moments in all of SW.

Personally, I'd much rather get Nil Spaar or Nom Anor back.

 

I think he will return through the look alike. Reincarnation.

 

well, what if Nil Spaar = Nom Anor in disguise stirring up terror and war pre-Invasion? like someone said, there was no body^^

 

I think the strong indication that there's nobody carrying the "Solo" or "Organa-Solo" name forward into the Legacy time (at least not in positions of galactic prominence...there might well be Solos living quietly on Corellia) period should be a clue that there aren't any male Solo/Organa-Solo heirs to pass on the name.

To borrow a pop-culture cliche from another franchise: They're dead, Jim.

 

Hmm, a query Ceiran: What characters do you see as Denning killing and resurrecting? I suppose Alema Rar is the primary case, but her death, such as it was, was ambigious. In contrast, with Anakin, we have the death, the body and a cremation - not a lot of latitude to slip in a resurrection.

Kidan,

While you could argue there is some overlap in how SW mixes space operas and magic, the rules that run superhero stories are quite different from those that are presently running DR's story, which can be summarised as: "No resurrections."

Now it could be argued that Invasion is being done by DHC, who seem to operate in a different style to DR, but a move of this nature by them would mean them treading on DR's toes in a much more overt way than they've done previously and they're known for walking very carefully in this regard.

That ignores the fact that there was at least one high-profile resurrection in LotF.

And I'd argue for a few more as well.

 

What are you counting as a resurrection in LotF?

 

Right off the top of my head, Boba's wife. She is explicitly said to be dead, but lo and behold, she's now pulling a Han Solo.


Then it could be argued that Kam was rezzed, as I distinctly remember thinking he got killed when GAG invaded Ossus, but he's hale, and not quite hearty in the next book.... but that's more likely just a mis-communication between authors.

And I think that also applies to Alema

 

Ah, Sintas. Gotcha. That one I'll take.

Kam I suspect was miscommunication, yes, though to be fair he apparently was rescucitated.

I don't think Alema counts. Most everyone called it as "not actually dead" even at the end of The Swarm War.

 

would have loved it if Tahiri managed to escape & take her place as the new Dark Lord of the Sith from Caedus & attempt to bring Anakin back to life thru Sith alchemy.

 

Now that, I like. Zombie Solo!!!! Maybe he can wear a yellow Speedo like the one the zombie wears in GTA:IV.

 

not zombie mate. a reborn anakin...

 

This is an EXCELLENT idea...for fan-fiction. But for Anakin to be resurrected like so in a canonical novel? No dice.

Besides, like many have already said, it's too late now. What would be the point?

Anakin: Hey guys, I'm back! How are you doing, Jaina, Mom, Dad, Uncle Luke? And hey Tahiri! You look kind of rattled. And Ben, wow you've really grown! So now, where's that rascally pacifist older brother of mine? And Aunt Mara?
Everyone else: Ummmmmm... You really don't want to know... *awkward silence*


One thing that I just can't get over, though--why the devil did Anakin never appear as a Force ghost (except for the dubious appearance in Traitor) after his death--esp. in the LotF series? I mean, it just boggles the mind.

 

Nah......only a zombie Anakin Solo will do!!!

 

i would argue all those other "resurrections" were pretty minor charactors and their deaths were not the event that Anakin's was

they really would not have the same impact that Anakin being resurrected after being dead and buried for 15+ years or whatever

so because they were all thought dead but turned out to be alive is really not an indication for a theme of "resurrection" in LotF



the clone idea is interesting though, but really, his clone just cant take his place back in the real world like he has come back
so if that were to happen, the clone couldnt really last as a charactor, or at least, not as the "new Anakin Solo" to replace the old one
he would be someone brand new
which, what is the point of that?
isnt that what we have Ben for now?
a charactor about the same age Anakin was when he died
haha

 

ZOMBIE WARS: If you thought the Vong and the Sith were scary, just wait for this! lol
