What should the fate of Darth Caedus be?

[Knight]

Opening a new topic for this at Majest's request, since me and Lord Trekie got slightly off topic in the Padme-Leia thread.

To try and keep from too much giving away to anyone who hasnt read the book, Darth Caedus is one of Anakin Skywalkers grandsons, firmly walkin his grandfathers path, and who is pretty much continuing a war between the Alliance and Corellia, and has done some pretty bad things to his family in the process - what should be his ultimate fate?

I wanna see Luke chop his head off in revenge, but that seems unlikely given Luke is Luke, and who Darth Caedus is underneath...

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

This maybe a dumb question but it was my understanding that Anakin was suppose to bring balance to the force by destroying the sith. He did that when he killed the emperor and died himself. He broke the chain of Master and apprentice. Thus he brought balance to the force. Now, so soon they are having more Sith rise? Almost makes the whole prophecy seem like a joke.

I could see Luke trying to turn him back but if he did not turn back. I think Luke could finish the job.

 

[Knight]

you'd think so, but there are others that have fallen to the dark side since, for example Brakiss, and Kyp Durron (who did come back from the dark side).

Mara wasn't the only emperors hand, Lumiya was as well, and was trained to be a sith - incidentally, she's the one whose trained Jacen, and helped mould him into Caedus.

Then there was the "emperor reborn" saga - who knows who else Palpatine trained during that time besides Luke (who did fall then, and was saved by Leia...)

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Like I said over in the other thread I think it'd be completely awesome if Han killed him, perhaps not alone but perhaps with Boba Fett helping? After all Fett has a reason, Caedus killed his wife...

Bottom line is there's only one Jedi I think should be involved in the Caedus death, and that's Jaina...

 

[Tholian_Storm]

I say he should strike out on his own , build another Sith Fleet and cast the Universe into darkness (a la KOTOR). That's what I would do , anyway. Then again , I've always had delusions of granduer.

An the good old expanded universe. I would love to see an episode 7-9 set years in the future with the Solo twins part of it. The actors of the original trilogy would be too old of course to star in it, but then again CGI and make up can do a lot these days.

And what part of that statement WASN'T wrong on so many levels , Majest?

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Hey, CGI can do a lot, look at the clones, they seemed pretty darn real looking to me and there wasn't anyone on the inside of those suits

I say they need to do it Majestic

Don't forget about the Wookiees. Everyone always forgets the Wookiees.

[Knight]

hey, it worked for Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in X-Men 3.

Also, Jacen killed Fett's daughter, NOT his wife lol.
And fett did say he wanted to send Han some baskur (mandalorian iron) gauntlets to crush Jacen's neck with...

I did see a good one-shot fanfic on fanfiction.net where Jaina and Jacen faced off - if anyones interested i'll find the link. it was pretty good, especially the ending...

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Doh! Figures I'd forget that part... And I'd definitely be interested in that fan-fic if you can dig up the link.

The Sword Unsheathed

There you go LT, enjoy. short, sweet and inventive

I so love Jaina Solo lol. I cant help but picture her as Eliza Dushku... especially after 'Dark Journey'

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Oh god, that person needs a medal, that was some awesome writing! I'm going to keep waiting for that exact thing to happen somewhere in the next three books However I really don't think Jacen would become that shortsighted, but it's possible, he did become a Sith after all...

Oh, and no... *shakes head* she's far too 'old looking' I think...

yes, but in the current books, Jaina is about 30 - Eliza is currently 25/26 i believe... but everyone is entitled to their opinion lol.

the writer did well, that one-shot, as short as it is, deserves more reviews than it got. i would be interested to know how he accomplished cutting her off, not that it mattered in the end lol. go Jaina

ive just finished reading "sacrifice"
its was gd

I quite like the fact its showing the "villans" side rather than just luke... etc

The caracters from the films must be getting quite old by now

it was a great book - the only part i didnt like was the choice of sacrifice - who happens to be my favourite expanded universe character

the new "legacy of the force" books like "Sacrifice" are set 40 years after ANH - which puts Luke and Leia at 59 years old (Mara was maybe 57/58? i think, judging by "Allegiance" in which shes 18 shes slightly younger than the Skywalker twins) and Han at around 70 i would think lol.

 

[Paulhanselluk]

You need to keep in mind that in the expanded universe they have established that the average life expectancy is around 150 (for a human), so the main cast about middle aged at the moment.

In my personel opinion the end of the new lord of the sith should be at the hands of his twin (she is after all the sword of the jedi), thats the way I see this whole balance thing playing out (twins, 1 light, 1 dark, you do the math)

that'd be cool - did you read the one shot i linked to on the previous page?

No I hadn't, but will do when I get a mo.

cool, i think you'll enjoy it. its really well done. wish i could say it was my work but its not

 

[Lord_Trekie]

I'd agree it would make a lot of sense to have Jaina kill him, but I still think it would be even better if a non-Jedi killed Caedus...

 

[Knight]

I'd agree it would make a lot of sense to have Jaina kill him, but I still think it would be even better if a non-Jedi killed Caedus...

nah won't happen. I think he's too powerful now for anyone other than a jedi to kill - ok, maybe Han could do it, if Caedus was distracted, or Fett somehow, but otherwise I'd have to think no non-Jedi will do it

I don't think its going to be Luke either, even as powerful as he is.

While I'd love to see it be Jaina, I think it'll be either Leia (due to Jacen's force vision where she does kill him by killing them both) or it'll be Ben to save his father, especially when he figures out what Jacen has done

Those were precisely the two I was thinking of.

I wouldn't want it to be Luke, he's done way too much, he needs to share the glory...

I don't think it'll be Ben, and I don't think Leia could do it alone, perhaps Mother and Daughter?

 

[Knight]

Only those 2 though, and Han would need help to do it. Fett wouldnt, but then, he's the Fett.

I wouldn't want it to be Luke, he's done way too much, he needs to share the glory...

I dont think he can - from the sound of the blurb for the next book, Luke does confront Jacen and given there are at least 3 more books after it, presumably loses without dying. That may just be me reading into it though.

I don't think it'll be Ben, and I don't think Leia could do it alone, perhaps Mother and Daughter?

If its Ben, it'll be in the same way Vader saved Luke from the Emperor in Jedi.

And I agree, Leia can't do it alone, unless she sacrifices herself, like in Jacen's force vision, throwing her saber at Jacen, and hittin a viewport to space, then tackling him through it.

Oh, LT i found another one shot fic (not the same author) tying up the Jaina/Kyp/Jag love triangle. definately not for kids and slightly disturbing lol. If I had glasses, I'd have a Giles moment lol. interested?

 

[Lord_Trekie]

I think even Fett would need help, though this is not due to a lack of his skills, more so to Jacen's 'improved' skills...

If Luke died I'd be jumping up and down shouting 'it's about time...'

If its Ben, it'll be in the same way Vader saved Luke from the Emperor in Jedi.

Probably, but I find it really unlikely this is the course it takes...

And I agree, Leia can't do it alone, unless she sacrifices herself, like in Jacen's force vision, throwing her saber at Jacen, and hittin a viewport to space, then tackling him through it.

I don't think that would work either, I'm just remembering that meeting on a space station in the first book I think...

PM me with it.

I'm also gonna point out that I still haven't actually read this book, I went to Barnes and Nobles a month or so to get it, forgot the title, and picked up the first one by accident...

PM'd you with it. no way i'm linking to that on a public forum lol!

and you should read the rest of the Legacy of the Force books, theyre fantastic.

And there are hints that Fett managed to kill 'on the run' Jedi after the clone wars in some novels, or so i've heard. Not actually read anything about it - but obviously he has an anti jedi vendetta (that much we learnt during the Vong war books an the new ones) after Mace took Jango's head off. So Fett could take Jacen on his own lol. well, in his prime maybe. id have to guess otherwise currently in the novels since hes dying in the same LoF books - then finds a cure. The man has more lives than a cat lol.

Lets not forget the Hapens (they exactly like him do they).

It may even be his other half, in attempt to protect there daughter (sorry I cant remember her name).

or

The hapen Royal court, as he farthered the heir to the throne, they may not like that too much ...

I don't think they're any threat to Jacen somehow. Tenal Ka maybe, but she loves him so she won't fight him.
Plus didnt she lose her arm fighting Jacen in a training session?

and that was before he was some sorta all encompassing force master so she isnt much of a threat either really

possibly if she was forced to do it for the good of there daughter.

A friend of mine found this bit somewhere on line (dont know where), but its the odds on if, someone was to kill this sith lord who who would it be.

Jaina 2/1
Luke 4/1
Leia 9/1
Han 5/1
Wedge 60/1
Jag 70/1
Lando 50/1
C-3PO 200/1
R2-D2 180/1
Boba Fett 2/1
Ben 5/1

I have no idea how these odds were calculated, but they paint a picture.

 

[Knight]

lol, so Jaina or Fett huh?

I think Jaina wud be best candidate lol. and i still think Ben is more likely to defeat Caedus then Luke. even if it is just to save Luke.

Lets face it though, he's most likely to be redeemed
