Tenel Ka or Danni ?

Who do you think is better for Jacen?

 

i hit it with either one if thats what you wanna know.

 

I think Danni, cuz of all the character develpment lately. Nowadays, Jacen and Tenel seem like just good friends.

 

Me, I'm a big fan of Danni, especially since Remnant.

 

Tenel Ka currently has more character development, so I'm vouching for her just because come on, the boy chopped off her arm and now she's wearing an ugly crown, where's her consolation prize?

However, if the Danni and Jacen relationship actually MAKES SENSE (unlike jaina and jag's), then hell, why not?

 

I hope it will turn out to be Tenel Ka.

 

I personally like Tenal Ka better, Danni is five years older than Jacen, plus it's like the Anakin and Tahiri thing they were just friends and than turn into something more when it was to late. Plus Tenal Ka is a queen! King Jacen has a nice ring to it. Plus again, Jacen is the only one that can make tenel ka laugh, thats a good factor when choosing a boyfriend or girlfriend.

 

I highly doubt it will be Tenel Ka due to her recent absence from most of the books. They are downplaying her for a reason.

 

Personaly for me it has to be Danni, and for any Danni fans out there check this out in the EU community boards!!!

 

Danni is five years older than Jacen

Since when has age ever been a barrier in the Star Wars universe? I mean come on, Isolder actually considered getting with Jaina. What was he thinking?
"Well, since I can't get Leia, I'll just have to settle for her daughter"

 

Well, I don't feel like getting in big serious debtae about this now, but if one starts I can't seem to stay away. So I hope this thread sticks to one word or one or two sentance responses. So, in that spirit:

I like Danni more, Tenel Ka just doesn't appeal to me as a character.

 

I think Tenel Ka is far better for Jacen than Danni would ever be.

Tenel Ka and Jacen have some serious history and a pretty well develoed relationship coming out of YJK, which seems to have been...forgotten, in NJO. Danni Quee isn't in his age group, doesn't have many similtar traits that she can share with him, and just doesn't seem like a person Jacen would normally be compatible with.

Tenel Ka has known Jacen since they began at the praxeum, she has been on countless missions with him, they both obviously have something for each other, and her character is a lot more balancing when put together with Jacen.

TK just makes more sense for J, but the NJO authors refuse to admit this, and end up screwing up all the background that was formed during YJK. Let's not even get started with Jaina and how Zekk became a cast-aside character. -_-;;

 

Okay people. This isn't what YOU want. It's what's better for JACEN.

Tenel Ka is better for Jacen. Not some random blonde scientist who was introduced to figure out one thing then get fired and become useless yet again.

Tenel Ka has been there for Jacen, a support in the strike team, a mourner for his Cloud City 'death', and an incredibly scorned mourner for his Traitor 'death' ... she's always been a very close friend and for people who've actually read the YJK KNOW that there's lots more to them then what the NJO shows.

I'm not a big YJK maniac; but Tenel Ka and Jacen just makes more sense. Danni just sort of said no; then popped back in and suddenly fell for him when he got back.

It's rushed.

And yeah SW; Zekk was thrown away. He could be used for so much more. I guess Del Ray likes to disregard WHOLE series of books that are JUST as canon as the rest of them.

Just my words.

 

Danni Quee isn't in his age group,
As I said before, since when has age difference ever been a barrier in SW?

doesn't have many similtar traits that she can share with him,
How about both being Vong prisoners? I sure there's more, but I don't feel like listing all of them. I bet Gandolf can help me out here.

and just doesn't seem like a person Jacen would normally be compatible with.
Remember this scene in Remnant?

He vividly remembered the moment they had shared while waiting for Captain Yage to board Jade Shadow. There had been something there, a connection of some kind...

 

I've got to say, Tenel Ka goes much better with Jacen than does Danni. Not only do they have a history together, but more importantly, their characters compliment each other perfectly, bringing out the best in each other. Opposites really do attract, and a whole new depth is shown of both Jacen and Tenel Ka when their characters have scenes together. When he's around Danni, Jacen seems less interesting to me, but yet he comes alive near Tenel Ka.

They're just perfect. How can you not love 'em?

 

I think with the way Jacen's life has been going, he'd be better off with Danni. Tenel Ka was, sorry yjk-relationship fans, a teenage romance.

As for the "they aren't compatible/they don't have anything in common" arguement, some people are more attracted to people who aren't like them. Speaking from personal experience, I spend all day with me, and when it comes to finding a guy I want to be with, I look for someone who is into different things than I am. It makes the relationship interesting. That is just MHO, though.

"she isn't in his age group"
How much older is Han than Leia?

"doesn't have many similtar traits that she can share with him"
and when does Tenel Ka have similar traits than those of Jacens? They were attracted to each other because of thier opposite traits.
"and just doesn't seem like a person Jacen would normally be compatible with"
And your basing this statement on him being compatible with? Oh yes the only person he has ever been compatible with Tenel Ka.

His relationship with Tenel Ka only happened because they were together training at the temple. Jaina's relationship with Zekk in YJK was more serious than the Jacen/Tenel Ka but no one is in uproar about Jaina/ Jag.

 

Definately going with Tenel Ka on this one. I'm going to keep my explanation simplistic and just say....humm how to put this nicely.

ah yes.

Danni Quee makes me sick.

sorry.
it's true.

Nitro29:

Alright, I concede the age difference, but how does being captured by the Vong make any two people any more similar? As I recall, there have been thousands of beings taken into Vong slavery over the course of NJO, it doesn't really stand up. And I haven't read Remnant as of yet, I'm speaking from my knowledge of NJO up until Destiny's Way.

StrongJedi:

Again, I concede the age difference. That's what I meant when I said Jacen and Tenel Ka balance each other, remeber? Danni and Jacen don't bring any balance whatsoever, in fact, I've seen nothing between them that would lead to any real type of a relationship, unless something came up in Remnant.

And your basing this statement on him being compatible with? Oh yes the only person he has ever been compatible with Tenel Ka.

Sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant with that, lol. The grammar is a bit off. If you meant if Tenel Ka's the only person he's ever been compatible with, the answer would be no, if you meant is she the most compatible person he's ever been with thus far, I'd definitely give you a confident yes.

While I don't agree J/TK had a less serious relationship than J/Z did, I do think the J/J and J/K pairings are overlooking her history with Zekk, which also sucks.

As an afterthought, if you're going to offhandedly refute all my arguments because I haven't read Remnant, you really can't, since there has been a lot of content revolving around Danni and Jacen before that, allowing a person to make conclusions even without reading the latest installment to the series.

 

I've seen nothing between them that would lead to any real type of a relationship, unless something came up in Remnant.

To make a long story short, yes something does come up in Remnant.

 

When I get to it, I'll come back with my next set of arguments, then.

At the prompting of Raithe, here's something to compound my own arguments:

"Lots of things happened during the Young Jedi Knights series."

 

Exactly. What came up in Remnant was flimsy and brisk. If they wanted to make D/J a good relationship, they should've started it a LONG time ago. And they didn't. Miss Quee turned him down and is now placing hands on cheeks and whispering BS that Luke interrupts. That scene was so cheesy. Another reason D/J just doesn't work. They seem incredibly fake. They have no history except the rescue mission and a small scene in Onslaught; and another in DW.

 

I don?t think that Tenal Ka and Jacen balance each other. I don?t buy into the idea that a persons spouse should be completely different then them. Opposites attract, but similarities bind.

Which brings us back to the argument: besides being captured by the Vong, like thousands of other individuals, and being Force sensitive, are there really any similarities between them?

I'm an observant reader, and while I can make a few connections between perhaps the Jag/Jaina relationship, I don't see anything between Jacen/Danni. All I know about her is that she's an intelligent and beautiful scientist who's been kicked around, and turns out to be slightly Force sensitive. I don't see how that goes with Jacen, but it's my opinion.

Oh yes, and as for Tenel Ka and Jacen being compeltely different, they aren't. They're both Jedi, they obviously share a very deep bond, they work extremely well as a team, and there are obviously feelings between them that the authors have chosen to keep hidden or untouched.
