Aaaaaaaaaaaaandd...



My reaction. One big, WHAFUCK?

Star Wars just took a crap on like all my favorites, except Kyp since he's NEVER AROUND. D:


-- CAEDUS KILLS ISOLDER (Knew it. D:)

-- JAINA KILLS CAEDUS (WASTE OF A CHARACTER.)

-- ALLANA IS PRESUMED DEAD AFTER AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, SHE IS ALIVE AND UNDER HAN AND LEIA'S CARE (Tenel Ka will HAVE NO POINT ANYMORE. Oh yay, but Han and Leia got a replacement for the two children they've lost! Cause they've done so well with the others! -- shit that was horrible, sorry. XD)

-- HER NEW SUPER SECRET DISGUISE NAME AT THE ACADEMY IS AMEILIA, WHICH IS NOWHERE NEAR AS COOL AS ALLANA

-- BEN LETS TAHIRI LIVE BUT SHE'S TAKEN CUSTODY BY HAPANS FOR QUESTIONING (HAPANS FTW)

-- ZEKK IS PRESUMED DEAD (WASTE OF A CHARACTER -- if he comes back, he better be pissed and a badass mothereffer)

-- DAALA IS THE NEW CHIEF OF STATE (what...? WHAT?????????)

-- JAG FEL IS THE NEW HEAD OF THE MOFF COUNCIL (Way to set up the crap Legacy comics. D:)

-- TENEL KA IS... THE QUEEN MOTHER OF HAPES STILL (Same shit, different day.)

:|


BUT THIS SHIT: Jaina confronts Jacen, and he tells her that he is trying to save Tenel Ka and Allana from a nanovirus targeted to kill those of Hapan royal blood. Jaina doesn't believe him, and they get into a lightsaber fight. Jacen's last act before Jaina killed him was of him screaming at Tenel Ka through the Force, warning her that there was danger and to take Allana away.

THIS IS ACTUALLY KIND OF BEAUTIFUL AND ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HEARTBREAKING. <3 Even though he is a bitch (a hot, hot one) through this whole series his absolute last thoughts are still of saving Tenel Ka and Allana. NICE.

And LOL on Jaina killing him when he's trying to do something good for once. And she doesn't try to redeem him at all? If this is true, this rubs me the wrong way. They're twins and she's not even gonna try it even though little Jasa might still be in there somewhere? If I read this book and there is no attempt by Jaina to redeem her twin brother (who has been a good boy longer than he has bad) Jaina will pretty much be dead to me too. Because I don't give a fuck what Valerie/zoopiglet was doing, how batshit crazy she was or who she was killing, but I would definitely try to help her stop her whack-ass antics before I was like, "KAY BYE BYE VALERIE *STAB~!*" -- and she's not even my twin, she's just my sister. (Not that you've killed anyone or gone dark yet, right Valval? D:)

Oh, but there's people sticking up for it cause Jacen was babbling batshit insane and going crazy while they were fighting. SO WHAT? AND LOOK AT THAT. WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE NANOVIRUS WAS TRUE AND HE WAS TRYING TO SAVE TENEL KA AND ALLANA. WAH WAH WAHHHHHH.

Okay, Tenel Ka better get some damn good scenes in this book cause I won't even want to pick it up besides the fact that she might DO SOMETHING. And the fact that... wait, no, I think that's it. Tenel Ka.

Although, I'm interested to see how they pull off someone who has trained for years and years in the Force and crap -- getting killed by someone who trained with Fett/Mandos for a short period of time and has always focused more on piloting that dueling. How can Luke not kick his face in and hand his ass to him but she can? And what the shit is Luke doing all this time? Picking his nose?

Absolutely NOTHING happened that I was crossing my fingers for to happen here in the UBER-FINALE. Not one single thing. Zekk is tossed to the side and screwed. Jacen doesn't even get an attempt at redemption and is screwed. Allana is going with Han and Leia therefore Tenel Ka has no point anymore except to sit on Hapes and get crotch-rot by osmosis from all her stupid dumbass suitors. There was such opportunity to strip that bastard of the Force and make him a total shell of what he once was -- ESPECIALLY after how much he relied on it ALL THE TIME. I wanted to see him as a bitter hermit in a tiny cell. I wanted to see him suffer. Way to give him a quick death and not pay for everything he did, GFFA! :D

Y'all know I like the angst. But not when one of the main characters who provides it GETS KILLED OFF.

OH OH OH and way to kill off like the only two men Tenel Ka has any sort of feelings for in one book. Papa and Babydaddy. :|


Okay. Maybe I should wait for the book to really get into how I feel, but with the basic story points let out -- part of me doesn't even want to know how they come about because I'm so like WTF IS THIS? D:



So yeah, Caedus/Jacen gets killed. We're left with Jaina as the last remaining Solo kid and she has a vagina, therefore she won't be featured prominently in any upcoming Star Wars works as a main character (unless something drastic happens) and all focus will be shifted to Ben. Zekk is nothing now, presumed dead. Tenel Ka won't be in anything anymore save for a couple mentions here and there when Hapes comes into the conversation since the Solos are taking care of Allana now, which pretty much means I don't see myself caring about anything post-LOTF. I mean, there are some fun possibilities with Allana but she will never hold a candle to her parents. Unless her future boyfriend (since they always have someone) is an exact clone copy of her father. SOUNDS GROSS, but I need another Jacen Solo. (Like he is a drug or something and I need a fix, LOL.)

To me, Star Wars without any version of Jacen Solo is like a plane without snakes, or Grand Theft Auto without the cars to steal, or Silent Hill without the "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" aspect, or Bioshock without Big Daddies -- shit, it's like the original trilogy without Luke Skywalker. For me, Star Wars Love is basically a big plate of Jacen Solo with a heaping double side of Tenel Ka (and maybe Zekk and Kyp for dessert). I mean, I like it all -- movies, books, games, etc., yeah, but now there's this big, gaping hole of NOTHING in this fandom.

AT LEAST I STILL HAVE FANFICTION.

Anybody else who is as :| as me concerning Jacen -- I will always be here to provide you with fixes. I have a feeling that I will be writings lots of Jacen. Young dorky Jacen, NJO Jacen, Caedus-Jacen, Jacen who was redeemed, Jacen who was stripped of the Force, all kinds of Jacen. So stay tuned.


R.I.P. Jasa. <3 I will write a nice entry on how much I hearted you in the future.


And there goes updating the Jacen site -- and the Jacen/Tenel Ka site -- oh, and probably the Tenel Ka site -- with new information. :|


OVERALL!:

LotF +'s: More Tenel Ka than normal, Jacen being a bitch like I always dreamed when I was little, Jacen/Tenel Ka dirty interactions/implications (him spying on her, him bitching in his head about never being able to sleep unless he was with her) Allana stuffs -- uh... uhm... oh, the descriptions of stuff on Hapes with suitors and all that jazz. And... the little cameos by Kyp and Kyle Katarn. (I still want to know -- who is Kyp's girlfriend? Oh, and Jacen in the bathtub. That's about it.


Lotf -'s: Legacy of the Mandos (I hate Boba Fett and I pretty much always have, so this was torture for me -- I tried not to BROADCAST MY EWWWW EVERYWHERE, but I can't help it right now D:), Zekk and Jag always having to have scenes with Jaina like they aren't their own characters, Daala's return (really? her?), AND OH YEAH THE UTTER WASTING OF JACEN'S CHARACTER -- as well as the wasting of carrying over a perfectly capable villain into another series. That effer was just getting started. I also think the whole LOOK HOW MANY MAJOR DEATHS WE CAN FIT INTO ONE SERIES is pretty much ass. Sorry Mara and Jacen -- two of the most well known EU characters -- you guys died for SHOCK VALUE! Mara and Jacen = the new Chewie and Anakin.


This series = :|




I tried to leave any trace of reaction outside of the cut since however I reacted would be considered a spoiler.

...and that's that.

AND: where are the japanese covers of this series, PLEEEEEEEEASE? :D


I'm gonna go spend my weekend killing everything in Grand Theft Auto IV now.
