I've made a huge mistake.

So, I made a mistake tonight. I flipped through New Jedi Order: Star By Star. fdajkjsfjsdkfj this makes me want to do the Jedi Strike Team costume again. I forgot how awesome this all was... you know... WHEN EVERYONE WAS ALIVE AND GOOD AND COOL.

Duman Yaght's hand tightened, holding her up. He guided her past the voxyn to the wall where her brothers sat affixed to the floor. "Choose."

"What?" Jaina felt the shock of his demand not only in the hollowness of her own stomach, but in the stunned outrage coming to her through the Force. "Choose what?"

"You are the one in control, Jaina Solo. Who will be next?" He kicked first Anakin in the kidneys, then Jacen. "Your brother, or your twin?"

"They're both my brothers." In Jaina's shock, it registered only vaguely that Duman Yaght now realized her relationship to Jacen. "And I choose neither. I choose me."

Duman Yaght shook his head. "That is not your choice. You must choose Anakin or Jacen." Again, he kicked them, drawing involuntary groans from both. "Choose one or I will be forced to return Ulaha to the breaking. The warmaster knows of her wound, so no one will think anything of it should she happen to die. You are the master now, Jaina Solo."

Jaina felt a surge of anger and would have whirled on Duman Yaght to attack, had a flash of alarm from her brothers not brought her up short. Each wanted to be the one chosen -- she would have felt that much from her brothers even without the group's emotional bond -- and her tie to Jacen went farther yet. She could sense that for him it was more than a matter of being noble, that he had good reason to believe himself the best choice. Jaina suspected those reasons included the fact that Anakin would need a clear head when the time came to escape -- it had to be soon, she hoped -- but she could not be certain; even the bond between the twins was not strong enough to share complete thoughts.

"Your choice?" Duman Yaght demanded.

"You can't ask that," Jaina said. She told herself that as facilitator of the battle meld, Jacen was just as important as Anakin, but the truth was that she could not bring herself to harm either one. Though Anakin was a war hero and leader to everyone else, he would always be a little brother to her -- someone to look after, protect, keep out of trouble. And Jacen had always been her best friend, the person who understood her when she did not understand herself, the presence that enveloped her like a second skin. How could she send either of them? She looked away from Duman Yaght. "I can't choose."


HEY REMEMBER WHEN THE SOLO KIDS WERE ALL AWESOME AND ALL ALIVE?????? I DO.

(no seriously costume urge rising D:)

I would SO get on board with this whole strike team thing!

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
WOOOOOOO STRIKE TEAM! I am a little excited about this now. XD

[identity profile] lusa-thul.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
If I do end up going to D*C (which I promise I should have a real answer on in like a week or two once finals are done) I am totes in on this!

[identity profile] lusa-thul.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Aww heck, sign me up for Eryl so I can touch Raynar in naughty places and because she's not so super important that you can't replace her or anything if I drop out. And if you can't replace her you can say she's dead already.

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Sara already took Eryl further down the comments! :O I think Jaina might be on hold and then Jacen, Eryl, TK and Tahiri are taken. LOL, and I would be shocked if we actually got a Raynar. SHOCKED I SAY! But then you would have to molest him no matter what lololol

I KNOW, WASN'T IT AWESOME WHEN WE HAD ACTUAL SOLO KIDS TO PLAY WITH AND THE EU DIDN'T SUCK?

*cries*

But it's been eight years and that passage still hurts like a punch to the gut. Ow. Poor boys. Poor Jaina. D:

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
SERIOUSLY UGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH, I really got teary-eyed when I was reading that passage again. And then again when I made the mistake of going to the little J/TK moments. dksjfkajsdkfjaskdj

P.S., this post and the fact that "Teenagers" just came on my playlist has made me more determined than ever to finish the Strike Team fanmix. THIS WEEK I SWEAR.

I'll have to dig up a pic I drew right after I read Star By Star. I called it "Broken" and it pertained to that EXACT scene. I BAWLED MY EYES OUT the first time I read that scene.

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 12:27 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] mafiaprincess.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
I know, those were the GOOD OLE DAYS of Star Wars, srsly!!! *sighs* I cry whenever I read that scene.

As for the costume in your pic, I'm actually working on that version of Jaina at the moment, ha ha! MAKE ONE!

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
They were! I miss those days so much! :(

And I am definitely gonna do the Strike Team costume again. It was fun at CIII so I'm sure it'll be a trip again. Muahahaha!

[identity profile] blood-sorbet.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, you know I am totally up for Strike Team!Tahiri or something if you do it =P (but I need an actual Anakin this time lol D:)

[identity profile] blood-sorbet.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
...we should do it along with Deathtwooperswhooo at D*Con :D
(still uber excited about Trig and Kale and shiz, btwwwwwwwwww <3 also I was thinking that maybe if you wore some high boots with yours, and I wore relatively flat shoes, we could at least even out our heights a bit? lol)

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
YES WE SHOULD. I MADE A THREAD ON THE BOARD WHICH MAKES IT OFFICIAL LOL. XD

I am so excited about DT costumes too. And the boot idea would totally work methinks! We'll have to take some pictures from weird perspectives too, to throw it off. XD

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)

(speaking which, is jaina even doing anything anymore?)

[identity profile] tenel-ka.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea. I think Jag proposed to her? I think? That's the last I heard? I figure I'll read the new books at some point. One day. But yeah, that passage makes me wish for the old Solo kids. D:

[identity profile] blood-sorbet.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Jag proposed, she said yes, and then the media made them look bad lol. She's not doing much else besides getting on Daala's nerves =P
