Caedus is my favourite sith :) extremely powerful, a good reason for joining the dark side, a vision for the future... but it was really his attachment (and love) that brought him down
In my opinion Darth Caedus is the best written villian I've ever encountered in fiction (and I've consumed a lot.) The fact that he's motivated by an urge to bring peace and order to a chaotic galaxy that's tearing itself appart makes him so much relatable than the typical villians that are motivated by power or greed. Also, the fact that he's willing to sacrifice part of himself and what he loves give him so much more depth. R.I.P. Darth Caedus, now that Lucasarts / Disney have commited the crime of declearing the EU uncanon!
The best Star Wars character both in The EU and of the entire franchise. He was the most deep and complex character. Neither Jedi not sith but both. Characters like him and Revan and their unorthodox teachers Vergere and Kreia with their unique teaches and beliefs denied the old stagnate light/dark dichotomy and brought true unique change to the understanding of the force and each of our places in the universe around us. Not the stereotypical hero cleaving through droves of nameless faces henchman nor the equally chiche evil villain that just destroys everything for the heck of it. A truly morally complex hero saving the galaxy at the expense of himself and will make the necessary hard choices for the better of others.
I really like the Vid... I think Jacen Solo is top 10 best Jedi of all time, as Caedus he is top 5 sith of all time. I never liked Jaina and hated that his sister basically killed him in cold blood while he was telepathically sending a message to save his daughter. However, I dont write these things, but I always did look at him as a hero that went to the darkside as a sacrifice for saving the future and his daughter. Nice Video.
It's really a Sad story , much more sadder then Anakin's Fall , i mean You have a Jedi Knight who powerful in a Young Age that Dies, Man the Pain from Jacen must really hurt, properly he coudn't take it
Probably the new "villain" of episode VII. Completely original of course and not borrowed from any other author. (choking) I really don't want them to use Cadeus' character for the new movies. I like him in the books, but I don't think it would feel right on the screen.
No, read the "Junior Jedi Knights", "Young Jedi Knights", "New Jedi Order", "Legacy of the Force" and "Fate of the Jedi" book series :) oh, and the Swarm War trilogy set between NJO and LotF
I've been reading through these books like a knife through butter im on the 8th book now they are amazing lord caedus is cool....darth bane is cooler though
Yeah, and Jaina (unfairly) had all the advantage... Caedus had only one arm, took a lightsaber through his body before they even started, was extremely distracted, etc etc... and still Jaina just barely managed to win.
You want to know all books he is in, or just the ones he is a Sith in? hah You'd have to at least read the Young Jedi Knights, New Jedi Order, Swarm War Trilogy and Legacy of the Force book series to understand who he is, why he went to the dark side and how powerful he really was.
Can you link me to any of the images of Darth Caedus you used that are authentic? Ie, actually from lucasarts approved novels, comics or whatever? Im designing a costume and for clearance reasons, artist interpretations don't count.
I liked Jacen when he was young, but as he grew older I liked him less and less. Even during the Vong War he was being a jerk, especially to Anakin. He only snapped out of it when Anakin died. Then when he turned he totally changed and became an even bigger jerk. When Mara died I was furious with Jacen. I stopped liking him then.
+B0311Anakin Bc Mara refused to listen, chased him down, and cornered him - trying to murder him in cold blood? Jacen defends himself and you are mad at him? Ok.
Mara did chase him down sure, and yeah she cornered him, but she wasn't going to kill him until she learned what he'd done and what he planned to do. Let's not forget what Jacen went on to do; and if he thought her murder was so justified, then why did he hide it from the rest of her family.
I'm not a huge fan of the Jedi myself, but Jacen was no better. He killed Fett's daughter trying to interrogate her, he tortured Ben, he even stole Allana from Tenel Ka. He got to where killing was the only answer, and even the people who worked under him stopped respecting him. He was far worse than his grandfather was.
All those things were for the betterment of the Galaxy. They weren't selfish and or self serving like Vader was. Tons still respected him. And you're entitled to your opinion.

Easily one of my favorite Sith, top 10.
Jonas Birk thank you
Especially after the shitshow also known as the Sequel Trilogy.
It's sad. All he wanted was to keep his Daughter Allana and his love Tenel Ka safe and the galaxy at peace.
Bane is awesome, his methodical planning... he set the plans in motion that Darth Sidious and later Caedus were able to complete.

this vid make me want another star wars saga to be made good job!
He was mortally wounded while fighting the Yuuzhan Vong but later dies at his sisters arms.
Excellent work. And the song fits perfectly. Subscribed. Keep up the good work.
this is probably the best Jacen Solo tribute I have seen. people just don't do a good job. To much heavy mettle or mushy but this worked. Well done.
The REAL Kylo Ren

Dude, you're the ultimate video maker
It's really a Sad story , much more sadder then Anakin's Fall , i mean You have a Jedi Knight who powerful in a Young Age that Dies, Man the Pain from Jacen must really hurt, properly he coudn't take it
Merci pour cette belle vidéo avec les belles images et la chanson que j'aime tant.
excellent work!
Amen, brother!

Well, it's 9 years later and the Sequel Trilogy was absolute shit.
he was a good kid gone bad.
Your my Role Model Jacen
Jaina does have a brush with the dark side just after Anakin died, while Jacen was missing, though
No, read the "Junior Jedi Knights", "Young Jedi Knights", "New Jedi Order", "Legacy of the Force" and "Fate of the Jedi" book series :) oh, and the Swarm War trilogy set between NJO and LotF
I swear they better show some of the characters from the comics in the movies
I've been reading through these books like a knife through butter im on the 8th book now they are amazing lord caedus is cool....darth bane is cooler though
Yeah, and Jaina (unfairly) had all the advantage... Caedus had only one arm, took a lightsaber through his body before they even started, was extremely distracted, etc etc... and still Jaina just barely managed to win.
@JacenSolo94 It sure is :)
great story movies dont even compare to this fall man
I wonder if we will see this Darth Caedus rise in episode 7?? or is it too early? Maybe in episode 8?
Right his sister is the only one, while their brother falls into despair
I bawled in sacrifice so many times. Jacen just turned into such a prick. I totally hated him.
i so love thsi video it so cool and sweet
Jacen had the silver lightsaber from the living Yhuzzon Vong crystal.
Jared Patilaki is the perfect Jacen
leading the Myrkyr strike force in the "New Jedi Order" novels.
Hes no Sidious, but I would rather ser him in the new movie if they arent going to use clone Palps angle.
awesome dude can you tell me what is the name of the song :)?
@alec206 "I will not bow" by Breaking Benjamin, my favorite song !
Luke Skywalker also turns to the dark side but eventually he turns back into a Jedi
like his granpa vader!
2:10 vskjvbskdb are you kiddin me ??
Lol that edit made me schleep.
hard song ..perfektly
@rodfather462 particularly the shots of his lightsaber
I would love to know more about this guy, Where would one begin to read about him?
You want to know all books he is in, or just the ones he is a Sith in? hah
You'd have to at least read the Young Jedi Knights, New Jedi Order, Swarm War Trilogy and Legacy of the Force book series to understand who he is, why he went to the dark side and how powerful he really was.
@JacenSolo94 He's holding a silver lightsaber, that sounds like Corran's lightsaber. Jacen's was always Green.
george lucus really need to make a movie with jacen and jaina so fucking bad.
Him and his sister turn to the dark side after the death of their younger brother Anakin Solo.
"I will not bow" by Breaking Benjamin
Episode VII, VIII and IX
Can you link me to any of the images of Darth Caedus you used that are authentic? Ie, actually from lucasarts approved novels, comics or whatever?
Im designing a costume and for clearance reasons, artist interpretations don't count.

Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow
Ricardo Wesker thx
The only problem I have with this guy is that he killed me.
I liked Jacen when he was young, but as he grew older I liked him less and less. Even during the Vong War he was being a jerk, especially to Anakin. He only snapped out of it when Anakin died. Then when he turned he totally changed and became an even bigger jerk. When Mara died I was furious with Jacen. I stopped liking him then.
+B0311Anakin Bc Mara refused to listen, chased him down, and cornered him - trying to murder him in cold blood? Jacen defends himself and you are mad at him? Ok.

Bc the Jedi are blind and would support her and try to murder him regardless of what he said.
I'm not a huge fan of the Jedi myself, but Jacen was no better. He killed Fett's daughter trying to interrogate her, he tortured Ben, he even stole Allana from Tenel Ka.

1:27 that is luke
Don't see why people have add rock or metal music to videos.
wikipedia or wookipedia
Emo Jedi
Music sucks as usual...
All I wanted was to bring order and peace to a broken and violent galaxy...
