    Hi there! Just wondering, we have all read how Anakin Solo looked like Luke Skywalker but in what way? I mean was it the facial expressions or features. Can somebody clarify or give me a wee quote?. Thanks!

    My second question is did anyone every remark on this aspect? I mean people like Wedge and such and such. Thanks!

    P.S. Is he mean't to look like him a lot?

    It depends on the book. In BP mara thinks that Anakin resembles Lke, " he (Anakin) had his uncles same compact build....." But in SBS it states that Anakin is slightly taller than Han who is 6'0 to Luke's 5'8. It's like this with all the non-movie characters. For example, KJA says that kyp is small and wiry with dark eyes and curly hair while in the NJO he is kinda tall with green eyes and straight hair.

    They have the same eyes... most of the time. Anakin is supposed to have blue eyes. We won't get started on when that gets messed up. There's already a thread on that.

    From my understanding, Anakin has the Skywalker blue eyes, and the typical cleft in his chin. That's all from the Skywalker side. He's also supposed to have Luke's heroic nature; he always takes on too much and tries to manage with it.

    But, as far as height and so forth, I'm not really sure. I've always thought he might be an inch or so taller than Luke, but not really TALL. However, that was just my imagination.

    ps...I think he has Han's smile. I've always heard that Jacen can give that crooked smuggler's grin; I'm not sure about Anakin, but it would fit. :)

    Yeah Anakin has some Skywalker traits and some Solo traits. Someone's quoted part of Mara's description of him (from BP), but that's a good place to look. I think it's near the start where the Jedi group are meeting near one of Luke's water fountains. LOL
    He has ice blue eyes, the dimple in the chin, the Solo sardonic tilt to the eyebrow and the lop-sided smile. He's dark-haired, usually with an earnest expression, but good-looking, and "vital" and Mara notes that women notice him when he walks by, even at the tender age of 15. In SbS (when he's 17) all the young women gravitate towards him, and he's grown quite tall - Han notices this when he tries to wave a warning finger in Anakin's face and feels stupid because it looks like he's waving it in his own. He also notices that his son has got broad in the chest when he goes to grab his shoulders and has to spread his arms very wide.
    In other words - Anakin is a spunk.

    He was about a half-inch taller than Luke, but in terms of physique was closer to Luke, whereas Jacen is bulkier. More Han-like. And Jaina looks like Leia, of course.

    In The New Rebellion, Han Solo thinks how when he sees Anakin, his resemblance to Luke startles him...personally I thought he looked more like Anakin Skywalker...

    The description of Anakin in the Corellian trilogy is the spittin' image of Anakin at the same age, IMO.

    Just thought I'd point that out-It's a weird paralell between the EU and TPM.

    That's from VP:
    "..., it scared Luke how much Anakin was like Han, in appearance and in temperament."

    But I also liked Tahi's description. :D

    Im suprised that Anakin Solo wasnt born deformed because it says in Dark Empire 2 that Leia is only 6 months pregnat with him and hes born a few days later at the end of the book 3 months premature.

    He doesn't have to be deformed to be born three months premature. Trust me, I was born three months premature, way back in '81, and I'm perfectly fine. I was even breathing on my own, and managed to roll over the first night. I'm not deformed in any way, either.

    EDIT: I've been thinking that Anakin Solo looked a lot like his grandfather. And Elaine Cunningham said in "Dark Journey" that Kyp's hair had "been tamed into dignified curls". Also, who says Kyp can't have dark green eyes?

    In the Past, long ago, Anakin was compared to Luke with an errie similarity. I'll bet he died the spitting Image of Hayden Christiansen; it is purley coincidence that that Anakin Skywalker (the actor) looke abit like both Luke and Han.

    Actually, I just noticed something in The New Rebellion. When Han calls Anakin on Anoth, he marvels at how much his son looked like Luke.
