Caedus suffered a fate far worse than death. When Disney created Kylo Ren, Caedus fell victim to the dreaded "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome"; he just ceased to exist.
The best power Jacen Solo learned from the Baran Do Sages was making his force signature so small you'd think he was dead. This is the best power any force sensitive could learn. You can disappear when ever you want.
It's also worth remembering he was only a Sith for a little over a year and was killed really young, I think he was only 32 years old. At that age, and being so new to the Dark Side, he gave Grand Master Luke Skyalker an absolutely brutal fight and only lost to Jaina because his mind was focused on trying to save his daughter at the time. Imagine what he could have done with, say, 5 more years experience as a Sith!
A part of me feels like Legacy of the Force should have ended in the year 46 ABY. Like you said, Darth Caedus could have had 5 more years of experience as a Sith.
I disagree with saying jaina only won because of sensing his daughters peril. He 100 percent didnt finish the fight because of what he sensed but he was already mostly beaten with only 1 arm working and near the end of his rope. While you could say he was backed against the wall and has proven to dramatically grow in those situations the main point of the end of the fight isnt that jaina only won because he was distracted. It was that, like vader there was still good in him. Because nothing was stated about jaina not being able to defeat him and the repercussions to jaina mentally i dont think thats what the writer was trying to convey
@@halfwaybrooks4202 Not directly but he was thinking about Alana the whole time at least as much as Jaina. He also stopped the fight, in a position where he had the upper hand, to try and get Jaina to stop and let him save Alana. Jaina even wondered why he stopped the attack when he was clearly hurt and needed to end it fast. To me that's enough evidence he could have killed her had he been focused on it. I also really like the parallel with Vader because, yeah, had Vader also been focused on killing Luke both the ROTJ novel and Lucas himself said he could have easily.
Jaina went to assassinate Jacen, less so to fight him. Jacen had already lost a hand to Jaina in a prior fight wherein Luke distracted Jacen with a force vision of Luke in place of Jaina. As soon as Jaina saw Jacen on his Star Destroyer, she immediately stabbed him in the chest before he had time to react. Between that early wound, missing a hand, and just learning that his child was in grave danger from the Empire, Jacen was seriously handicapped against Jaina. He still nearly beat her.
Shows that those in charge of those movies didn't give a monkeys arse about the fans or the continuity of the canon story. Kinda like those idiots that killed off Scooby and made Velma a lezo when her and Shaggy got a kid together
Caedus did not fall. He sacrificed himself to the dark side. He knew that, as Darth Caedus, he would unite the galaxy against him. Creating an alliance capable of surviving Abeloth who Jacen had sensed in his travels.
His fall to the dark side is what Kylo was based on, just this was such a better and more nuanced and explainable way a Skywalker descends to the dark side
There is no ben Skywalker who jaycen trained and was a jedi assasin with force cloak no Mara jade which is Luke's wife and Ben's mother also there is no awaking solo the twins older brother and his death is pivotal to jaycens fall to the dark side as well
I mean I pull everything from the KotR games and some of the connected media, anything else EU or Disney not so much. I'm OK with Disney stuff set between the OT and the PT but everything after is just fanfic to me.
This is why Jacen Solo is the most interesting of Han Solo and Leia Organa's children. Even mostly better and more understandable than Ben Solo. Jacen was one of the characters who understand the true nature of the force more than anyone who studies and uses it. He was reaching all of his potential of becoming a powerful force user just like his uncle Luke Skywalker did to become what his father Anakin did not have the chance to achieve. Jacen Solo is the real heir of Darth Vader, The story of his fall makes more sense and has a necessary arc for Luke finding both Abeloth and Darth Krayt's Sith Order.
@@erenkaskarli9436 kylo Ren is a mutilation of the "Legends" books. Have you read them? I have. All 108 books. So chill with that consumer pro Disney crap. Kylo is a direct cheap ripoff of Jacen.
The whole Jedi Order rallied to stop Caedus. The little boy once cradled by Leia, taught tricks by Han. A shining light of the galaxy, and a man on whose shoulders everybody put their hopes. A hero and veteran And in the end he searches too much, isolates himself from his family. The tyranny he installs could have lasted for millenia, with him becoming the strongest being in the Force. A fallen hero
Him joining The Dark Side was the only way Luke survived, and he thought Luke had to survive for the greater good of the galaxy. He only supposedly joined the dark side because of that, and the vision of the “dark man on the throne” he kept having. He wanted Luke to be around for that. Either Jacen was the man on the throne or, another popular theory, he joined the dark side for no reason and his vision was about Darth Krayt
Nah...Adam Driver Jacen is way better looking (lol) and according to the books has a different personality than Ren, who was consumed with bitterness, emotion, and a lust for power. Kinda like a much less cool Anakin. Jacen was far more mindful of his powers and emotions and was a good Jedi up until the death of his brother. His intentions were "noble" but were gone about all wrong.
I grew up reading the EU stories. The first Star Wars book I read was 'Heirs to the Force' which was about Jaina and Jacen Solo as teenagers at the Jedi Academy. I was the same age as the twins when I discovered the books so I really feel like I grew up with them. When Jacen fell to the dark side nearly a decade later, I really felt the pain of his fall. Since we never had the connection to Ben Solo (which was really Ben Skywalker in the EU), you really didn't care about him falling to the Dark Side, though Adam Driver did his best with what he got. Please just keep Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo in the books so Disney won't destroy them like they did Han, Leia, and Luke!
Thank you so much for finally covering Caedus! I mean he pretty much was the 2nd palpatine. He's my favorite sith lord. Thanks this was a great Xmas present
Its awesome to see Jacen/ Darth Caedus get the attention that he deserves. He and Jaina/ the Sword of tbe Jedi ,were two of my absolute favorite characters in any S.W. story.
Funny enough Jaina Solo did not become a Jedi Master until long after her fight with Jason Solo. But, I do love this book series. Thanks for finally covering Jacen Solo.
Jacen’s fall can truly be traced back to Vergere. While Jacen was imprisoned by the Vong, Vergere tortured him in order to show him a different understanding of the Force. This was ultimately done to make him follow the dark side.
Okay let's just clear something up Jaina didn't ACTUALLY best Darth Caedus in the fight. She had help from Boba Fetts granddaughter, had cut Jacen's arm off in a previous bout, AND the Army that Caedus was fighting at the time had just fired a genetic missile at Caedus's baby mama and child specifically for killing them. Rather than defend himself he sent a message through the Force to warn them because Jaina was hot on his heels and he had to choose between sending that message and deflecting the killing blow.
@brooklyn smokes right so the Moffs were on his side vs. who? That's the fight I'm referencing. The fight prior where he broke Mirtas back and got his arm chopped off by Jaina were literally half a chapter away from his death at Jainas hand. I read the books very thoroughly every time yo, maybe do yourself a solid and go re-read.
Ever since, i have completed my read throu all avilable SW EU books in local library no other character path from protagonist to antagonist felt same and i always keept comparing them to Cadeus. Force potential and desire of protecting loved ones of Anakin, will for self improvement and hard working nature of Luke, Inteligence of Shiev, insight of other people as Yoda... All of that and more was what made Cadeus best vilain of SW EU
Throughout galactic history, there have been several users with such power in the force that their simple actions are capable of tilting the blade to one side or the other and bringing destruction or order (Vitiate, Exar Kun, Revan, Darth Sidious, Anakin, Luke...). Obviously, Darth Caedus is one of them, his conversion to the dark side brought destruction to the galaxy to such an extent that he was even able to alter the force's current and free the wielder from chaos. In LOTF times, he was able to duel Luke after being stabbed in the lung and making it out alive. A single one of his bolts was able to incapacitate Jaina in their first duel on Nickel One. He defeated Kyle Katarn even when he was severely injured from his confrontation with Luke. He had mastered the shatter point ability with which he was able to mop the floor with the Mandalorians, this is impressive because here we are not talking about the cheap Disney Mandalorians, but about the EU Mandalorians, which are so broken that with a little effort and the help of the script are capable of taking down Darth Vader himself. Even Leia in the novel "Millennium Falcon" says that Jacen was much more dangerous than UnuThul, who with the help of that killik hive is an entity that is very broken. Even if we go back to his participation before LOTF, we can see that he had to be nerfed because at the rate he was going, he would have ended up beating everyone after he came back from his five-year journey. He was the true heir to the Jedi and the only one who could truly understand the Unifying Force at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War.
Iirc Luke actually said at one point that he kinda nerfed that fight because he felt taking Jacen down himself would bring more negative outcomes than letting him escape. Plus that whole sword of the jedi prophecy led him to feel that it had to be jania. After the demonstration Luke gave him in his wardroom, plus the things he pulled off towards the end of the vong war, I think Luke absolutely could have flattened him with both raw power and experience. ( Luke would have had the handicap of fighting as a trained lightsider who's touched the dark, vs another trained lightsider who had fully switched teams. I think Luke would have pounded him but it would have been even messier on the large scale.) So the force showed him a way to sidestep the fight by adding in a third wild card, the Mando training for jania.
@@blackc1479 I don’t think he nerfed that fight … had Ben not been so close to the Dark Side with that whole "this kill is mine" talk Luke would have ended it right there. That being said there was a moment earlier in in the fight when Caedus was telekenetically strangling Luke with some Vong torture vine thing but couldn't resist taking a second to gloat and give Luke an opening to escape. I do agree Luke would have won a rematch, that's made pretty clear but Caedus was also like 3 decades less experienced. In my head cannon Caedus could have been even with Luke had he been given a few more years to hoan his skill as a Sith but obviously we’ll never know.
@@kirtmanwaring3629 agreed that had he been allowed to keep going (or been even brighter and kept his head down) he would have been a much harder target. Hell, if he had taken the long view, he could have just outlived Luke, and squashed jania when he did finally reveal himself. Granted, I did forget about the Ben aspect, but it still stands that at that point Luke could have smacked him down hard. Side note, one day, I want to see a "what if" kind of story where the sith get over the desire to be recognized as the ultimate bad asses, and just get on with running things. Palps could have still been in charge if he hadn't had to have his grand gesture. A real sith can get over their ego, and just rule from the shadows. Jacen could have done the same, but despite all his training he couldn't get over having himself front and center.
@@blackc1479 Smacked him down hard? I think it's more like a ten percent or 15 percent power difference which probably would have disappeared a few years after LOTF. Luke would have won after the fight of his life.
@@kirtmanwaring3629 gotta disagree, Jacen had a lot of exotic skills, and a comparable raw power level. Luke may not have had as many different disciplines, but he did also guide jacens learning on that path. Plus, we don't know what he hadn't taught anyone else. (Not personally settled on the idea, but some also argue that experiencing and resisting the darkside on a long term can also kinda buff your power in the light) But yeah, I stand by the idea that all being equal, and no "this will have worse outcomes" plot hamstringing, Luke could have eaten his lunch then, and likely for a long time after.
This guy was so powerful he learned unheard of sith and jedi abilities to the point where he could travel back in time to when Vader was sacking the jedi temple.....and Vader actually noticed and perceived his presence lmao he was unreal
The story of Jacen Solo is one I read completely. I've read a lot of Star Wars books, and I read the entirety of the Yuuzhan Vong war, Thrawn, basically everything that happened after Return of the Jedi. It is honestly an amazing story, and there is so much potential for Disney to draw from, but at the same time, I don't hate the way Disney went with it. It would be almost impossible to recreate the emotion and whatnot into live action. Not saying it can't be done, but I don't think I'd like it. Jacen is honestly my favorite Star Wars character of all time, even as Caedus. The books helped you understand him and why he did the things he did. Not that I agree with all of it, but I don't really blame him.
I'm at long last reading the Legacy of the Force series. Caedus getting the Fondor operators to drop their shields in the middle of a battle was a major "oh shit!" moment.
Ahhh....the solo twins...the storyline we deserved but,did not get!if a treatment of the novels with Jacen,Jaina and anakin solo would have been adapted into a film trilogy using a proven metric,we would have seen the rise and fall of Jacen solo and the immense power of caedus...and if I remember correctly,I think he too was only redeemed at his death by his twin sister jaina....this storyline checked all the boxes for the Disney corporate goons but,provided the depth and reasoning characters abilities....
Someone with one lightsaber is effective at slice and dice multiple targets, someone with twin plasma blades are twice more effective, someone with a lightsaber with a guard or hand protection made from Beskar/Baskar or with a shield has a higher defensive or offensive possible defensive actions. A lightsaber blade shape of a katana is dangerous usually. The Shoto lightsaber that from Ahsoka Tano in clone wars season 4-6 the neon greenish yellow and the pair of blue blades given by Anakin can be used similar to a Wakisashi. Also a staff would work too. Darth mauls lightsaber staff without the buttons can also be very good for hitting the opponent without activating the blade, since there is no front or back.
Really would’ve loved to see Sebastian Stan playing Jason Solo. Disney really messed up with their own take on the character, but I know Adam did his best with what he had.
When they first hinted about the sequel trilogy I was really hoping it would be about the fall of Jacen Solo and his morphing into Darth Caedus. Such a strong character that they could have built a trilogy around.
the legacy of the force book series was some of the most interesting I have ever read, it made me regret not starting with books where Jacen and Jaina were children so I could get the whole story, I instead began with the last series when they were already adults, however there were flashback scenes so i got the gist of the whole thing with Vergere and so on.
Another reason why Legends is better then Canon they actually had amazing badass sequel and legacy characters. So sad how Disney literally ruined what Caedus was suppose to be along with that era of SW after episode 6.
It never even occurred to me to compare and contrast Jason and Kylo... it's not even close, not even in the same solar system Cadeus would brush Kylo aside like one does a flie. If Rey came up against him even her plot armor would fail lol. Dude survives a fight with Luke at the peak of his powers, and still manages to hold his own against Jaina another Skywalker and one of the most renowned Jedi of the New order while recovering from his wounds.... He was a sith for like a year, how powerful would he have become if he had time to grow into his power?
Kylo Ren is universally stronger than Darth Caedus. Kylo Ren was a true Dark Side user and mastered it. Darth Caedus was a Sith only for a year. Also Kylo Ren had killed more people than Darth Caedus. Kylo Ren killed 400 people. Kylo Ren even killed a Zillo Beast. This is something Darth Caedus can never do.
@Eren Kaskarli Jason defeated jedi masters including Skywalkers. He defeated numerous dark jedi, fought in the vong wars. He mastered not only the Jedi arts but multiple other force user disciplines before converting to the sith... Kylo wouldn't have stood a chance to Jedi Knight Jason, let alone Sith Lord Jason.
Jacen traveled the galaxy learning arcane force abilities for a number of years.. I do remember he took Ben and Luke confronted him and literally sat him the fuck down like a little kid with the force.. these books were fucking great.. also left out is how his sister traveled to train with boba fett .. who was mandalore ..in order to learn how to counter force abilities and kill a force user . It was fucking great..the daughter of Han Solo among the mandalorians .. and mandalorian culture is so much better and more fleshed out in the eu Karen Traviss novels.. she just absolutely brilliantly wove a tapestry of mandalorian lore history and tradition .. I believe Luke also traced havens steps with Ben and learned how to teleport objects etc
It's funny - if Disney had gone with the existing continuity for the sequel trilogy, they'd have had a perfect story here. Additionally, the Y.V. War could've been done like the Clone War was. They had it all layed out in front of them.
@ParadoxicalEnigma300 cade don't have the same potential as luke and Leia Jacen was no way near anakin solo in potential and raw power you clearly don't know what you talking about
This was quite interesting not to mention informative. It seems that Jason Solo is, in fact, a fully realized force potential Anakin Skywalker in my opinion. I do believe that Adam Diver was a good pick to portray Han and Leia's son, unfortunately it looks like once again Disney, for lack of better words, screwed the pooch.
Darth Fist got taken down by the sword of the jedi, his sister. Also jacen went on a spiritual journey of sorts, meeting with many many different force using cultures, not jedi, to learn a lot of obscure, unique, and powerful abilities. After the war, luke was exiled and with Ben, Retraced jacens steps. This was a wonderfully informed video. I believe Anakin Solo would have been a new convergence.....
If I could write a new story, I would have Rey and Kylo be twin, but Rey thinks Kylo killed her brother, so she’s going after him for answers, meanwhile, she meets up with a pirate with a lightsaber, and is able to use the force. Later on, this masked pirate would reveal that he’s Luke’s son, looking for his father after Mara was killed in an attack. Or she went missing only for it to be revealed she is the mysterious teacher for Kylo since Snoke is becoming too weak. (We also learn that Snoke what happens when Palpatine’s soul stays in one of his clone hosts for too long, and that since the rise of the empire, Palpatine would have the remaining cloners work on a secret clone army on a sith planet. There these clones would be implanted with cybernetics blending the CIS battle droids, and stormtroopers). Idk, it might sound insane, but it would make for a better trilogy. And as for Kylo, I had a couple ideas for him. Mainly that the reason he joined Snoke in the first place was because he keeps having dreams of a huge battle that would result in the death of billions across the galaxy. So Jacen or Anakin Solo (idk who yet) joins Snoke so he could stop the first order, but over time, he becomes corrupted to the point Palpatine’s ghost is able to possess Kylo, begging for Rey to kill him so Palpatine would die. In which we learn Kylo’s personal mission was to ensure Palpatine’s death once and for all. And I’d definitely have a better send off for the original characters.
I really feel like Disney has ruined so much of the Star Wars lore that I love. It's bad enough that they scrapped all the expanded universe but they replaced it with complete garbage episode 7, 8, and 9 have just been awful. Further I'm walking up the toy aisle and I noticed that they've decided to drop the name of Slave 1 from Boba Fett's ship. I just can't believe this garbage. It's even made its way into the games for instance the G-rated lightsaber combat in Jedi Fallen Order. The last Star Wars media content that I really liked was the Clone Wars series and even that got canceled early because of the sale to Disney. I'm done I'm not supporting them financially anymore, I hope more and more people do the same and perhaps will eventually get change.
Fun fact: When LotF with Darth Caedus was released, it was not well received either, both the story and his fall. It only became better AFTER Sequel Trilogy. To read more details, like how an ATTACHMENT (one of the things Luke allowed in his new order) started this all mess, see: TV TROPES - Legacy of the Force
I would want a Darth caedus that is redeemed early or when he kills someone important once.i hate that it happened twice(Anakin & jacen) and the galaxy is left to guess if a skywalker/solo born would be good or not.irl you often have to choose the option of changing your surname if a family member is a serial killer.
I always thought it was weird that it was Jacen of all people who fell to the dark side given how paranoid he was about the dark side during the YV War. I like the story of Darth Caedus and how his motives were developed; I just wish he was someone else, not Jacen.
If Kylo Ren was more like Darth Caedus, I would find nothing wrong with him. Caedus was power and would have been an amazing main antagonist of the sequel trilogy.
Some other conversations here got me thinking. The biggest Achilles heel to the sith is simply ego. You can divide them up into two camps: the sith who HAVE to show how great/clever/powerful or whatever. This covers 98%of them. Or, The sith who just want to get their overarching job done. Yeah, getting rid of the jedi is for the former a huge ego stroke. But for the latter, it would just be practicality, since they would be best equipped to oppose "the plan". There is obviously overlap. Palps was the former for a long time. But it was a long game to make himself the former. Jacen could have been hugely powerful, long term. He could have hid in plain sight, and worked things behind the scenes. But he had the dichotomy of thinking of himself as low key and self sacrificing, but he had to out himself, just to prove how self sacrificing he was. If he had REALLY taken the job first idea to heart, he would have never gone so public. But that "I am the only one" mentality actually hamstrung him from what he thought he was working for.
Funny I see you used a young Han with yellow eyes.. I collect figures and have made a custom of him using the body of Besbin Luke and they head of young Han and it’s perfect!
I always read the name as Saedus with the 's' in place of the hard 'c'. It never occurred to me to pronounce it the way it is in this video 🤔. I'll stick with my head cannon, it fits a sadistic, fallen Jedi better🤷🏿♂️😃
Another glaring example of the failures of Disney to not bring to life the story that was already well laid out in the EU books. From Truce at Bakura up through this tale of Darth Caedus and even more stories afterwards, enough material to develop into movies and streaming shows to last for decades on end and they pissed it all away for diversity, inclusion, and equity. There is a reason those 3 words together spell D.I.E.
when will people learn the eu has a plethora of awesome sith and jedi that disney severely miscalculated the money they would of had to pay the authors for the original stories would of been pennies in the bucket to what they could of made had they gone with admiral thrawn trilogy then a tales of the jedi series which ends in the yu zheng van war. well as much credit as caedus deserves his brother anakin was leagues above him and even their uncle luke a true loss to the star wars family when anakin solo died he had to correct jaycens misunderstandings on the force and with out him jaycen was unable to see the correct path to his goals.
Only simpletons that believe Kathleen Kennedy when she said there's no material to go off of when she said that I posted on Twitter among other places thd very stuff we're talking about here as well as the old republic umm gee DARTH BANE so much stuff from the EU it just baffles me how stupid Kathleen is... but as far as the rest I can explain why Disney did its own... EGO... they wanted to have their own story that they can take credit for only they beyond screwed the pooch on what they made
Caedus is outright stated superior “It’s a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo.” Star Wars legacy of the force invincible Jacen destroys vader
I mean, if they stripped that story down to its essentials, and kept the best parts of the new trilogy, they'd have had something brilliant. For instance, Rey Nobody, Rey Skywalker, or Rey Solo, all of them could have worked with Darth Caedus, and in the latter two cases, falling to protect her the way EU Caedus fell to protect his daughter, Allana. It would also explain why she ended up on Jakku.
To be honest I have read all the series of books mentioned in this video and recently reread the series concerning Jason Solo becoming Darth Cadeus, and I have to point out that you got a large amount of details wrong in this video concerning Cadeus and how he gained his abilities and other aspects of his training
how did we get from here and caedus flow walking in vader's footsteps only to fail to alter fate, al the way to lord momin's more comprehensive control of time?
Nothing like hearing the true canonical stories being told. It’s a breath of fresh air.

This is why Jacen Solo is the most interesting of Han Solo and Leia Organa's children. Even mostly better and more understandable than Ben Solo. Jacen was one of the characters who understand the true nature of the force more than anyone who studies and uses it.

The little boy once cradled by Leia, taught tricks by Han. A shining light of the galaxy, and a man on whose shoulders everybody put their hopes. A hero and veteran
And in the end he searches too much, isolates himself from his family. The tyranny he installs could have lasted for millenia, with him becoming the strongest being in the Force. A fallen hero
Only because Luke was scared he would fall to the dark side
Him joining The Dark Side was the only way Luke survived, and he thought Luke had to survive for the greater good of the galaxy. He only supposedly joined the dark side because of that, and the vision of the “dark man on the throne” he kept having. He wanted Luke to be around for that. Either Jacen was the man on the throne or, another popular theory, he joined the dark side for no reason and his vision was about Darth Krayt
@@connorledwith98Darth Krahyt was the man on the throne
@@user-lp8im7ow8s fits even better if you ask me. Joined the dark side for no reason just like his grandfather
imagine Adam Driver being a live action accurate portrayal of Jacen Solo/Caedus? Talk about chills
Nah...Adam Driver Jacen is way better looking (lol) and according to the books has a different personality than Ren, who was consumed with bitterness, emotion, and a lust for power. Kinda like a much less cool Anakin. Jacen was far more mindful of his powers and emotions and was a good Jedi up until the death of his brother. His intentions were "noble" but were gone about all wrong.
I grew up reading the EU stories. The first Star Wars book I read was 'Heirs to the Force' which was about Jaina and Jacen Solo as teenagers at the Jedi Academy. I was the same age as the twins when I discovered the books so I really feel like I grew up with them. When Jacen fell to the dark side nearly a decade later, I really felt the pain of his fall. Since we never had the connection to Ben Solo (which was really Ben Skywalker in the EU), you really didn't care about him falling to the Dark Side, though Adam Driver did his best with what he got. Please just keep Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo in the books so Disney won't destroy them like they did Han, Leia, and Luke!
Thank you so much for finally covering Caedus! I mean he pretty much was the 2nd palpatine. He's my favorite sith lord. Thanks this was a great Xmas present
Him and his sister fight still gives me chills every time I read it this is and always be my cannon
Its awesome to see Jacen/ Darth Caedus get the attention that he deserves. He and Jaina/ the Sword of tbe Jedi ,were two of my absolute favorite characters in any S.W. story.
Funny enough Jaina Solo did not become a Jedi Master until long after her fight with Jason Solo. But, I do love this book series. Thanks for finally covering Jacen Solo.
Jacen, not Jason. Lol
A true fallen hero. Understood the force of all peoples.
Jacen’s fall can truly be traced back to Vergere. While Jacen was imprisoned by the Vong, Vergere tortured him in order to show him a different understanding of the Force.
This was ultimately done to make him follow the dark side.
Okay let's just clear something up Jaina didn't ACTUALLY best Darth Caedus in the fight. She had help from Boba Fetts granddaughter, had cut Jacen's arm off in a previous bout, AND the Army that Caedus was fighting at the time had just fired a genetic missile at Caedus's baby mama and child specifically for killing them. Rather than defend himself he sent a message through the Force to warn them because Jaina was hot on his heels and he had to choose between sending that message and deflecting the killing blow.
its jacen brother not jason
@@yene9438 you are confused that was Jacen solo who she defeated
@@yene9438 damn auto correct
Some if your facts are off the moff were in jacens side and, mertia help her when not in the final fight, maybe re read the books
@brooklyn smokes right so the Moffs were on his side vs. who? That's the fight I'm referencing. The fight prior where he broke Mirtas back and got his arm chopped off by Jaina were literally half a chapter away from his death at Jainas hand.
I read the books very thoroughly every time yo, maybe do yourself a solid and go re-read.
He is super op and if he was able to go toe to toe with Luke and his twin sibling in a duel he was a truly lethal foe.
Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus
BORN: 9 ABY (7986)
DIED: 41 ABY (8018; age 32)
Thanks I wish more people talked about Darth Caedus!
I wish they would have went with this plot! It would’ve been amazing!!
Ever since, i have completed my read throu all avilable SW EU books in local library no other character path from protagonist to antagonist felt same and i always keept comparing them to Cadeus.
Force potential and desire of protecting loved ones of Anakin, will for self improvement and hard working nature of Luke, Inteligence of Shiev, insight of other people as Yoda...
All of that and more was what made Cadeus best vilain of SW EU
Caedus was a TERRIBLE villain this is the first time ive ever seen anyone like this story lol
You forgot to mention the fact that, unlike kylo Ren, jacen was written well and liked by almost everyone
Ben Solo was a victim of Sideous.
Throughout galactic history, there have been several users with such power in the force that their simple actions are capable of tilting the blade to one side or the other and bringing destruction or order (Vitiate, Exar Kun, Revan, Darth Sidious, Anakin, Luke...). Obviously, Darth Caedus is one of them, his conversion to the dark side brought destruction to the galaxy to such an extent that he was even able to alter the force's current and free the wielder from chaos. In LOTF times, he was able to duel Luke after being stabbed in the lung and making it out alive. A single one of his bolts was able to incapacitate Jaina in their first duel on Nickel One. He defeated Kyle Katarn even when he was severely injured from his confrontation with Luke. He had mastered the shatter point ability with which he was able to mop the floor with the Mandalorians, this is impressive because here we are not talking about the cheap Disney Mandalorians, but about the EU Mandalorians, which are so broken that with a little effort and the help of the script are capable of taking down Darth Vader himself. Even Leia in the novel "Millennium Falcon" says that Jacen was much more dangerous than UnuThul, who with the help of that killik hive is an entity that is very broken. Even if we go back to his participation before LOTF, we can see that he had to be nerfed because at the rate he was going, he would have ended up beating everyone after he came back from his five-year journey. He was the true heir to the Jedi and the only one who could truly understand the Unifying Force at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War.
Iirc Luke actually said at one point that he kinda nerfed that fight because he felt taking Jacen down himself would bring more negative outcomes than letting him escape. Plus that whole sword of the jedi prophecy led him to feel that it had to be jania.
After the demonstration Luke gave him in his wardroom, plus the things he pulled off towards the end of the vong war, I think Luke absolutely could have flattened him with both raw power and experience. ( Luke would have had the handicap of fighting as a trained lightsider who's touched the dark, vs another trained lightsider who had fully switched teams. I think Luke would have pounded him but it would have been even messier on the large scale.)
So the force showed him a way to sidestep the fight by adding in a third wild card, the Mando training for jania.
@@blackc1479 I don’t think he nerfed that fight … had Ben not been so close to the Dark Side with that whole "this kill is mine" talk Luke would have ended it right there. That being said there was a moment earlier in in the fight when Caedus was telekenetically strangling Luke with some Vong torture vine thing but couldn't resist taking a second to gloat and give Luke an opening to escape. I do agree Luke would have won a rematch, that's made pretty clear but Caedus was also like 3 decades less experienced. In my head cannon Caedus could have been even with Luke had he been given a few more years to hoan his skill as a Sith but obviously we’ll never know.
@@kirtmanwaring3629 agreed that had he been allowed to keep going (or been even brighter and kept his head down) he would have been a much harder target. Hell, if he had taken the long view, he could have just outlived Luke, and squashed jania when he did finally reveal himself.
Granted, I did forget about the Ben aspect, but it still stands that at that point Luke could have smacked him down hard.
Side note, one day, I want to see a "what if" kind of story where the sith get over the desire to be recognized as the ultimate bad asses, and just get on with running things.
Palps could have still been in charge if he hadn't had to have his grand gesture.
A real sith can get over their ego, and just rule from the shadows. Jacen could have done the same, but despite all his training he couldn't get over having himself front and center.
@@blackc1479 Smacked him down hard? I think it's more like a ten percent or 15 percent power difference which probably would have disappeared a few years after LOTF. Luke would have won after the fight of his life.
@@kirtmanwaring3629 gotta disagree, Jacen had a lot of exotic skills, and a comparable raw power level. Luke may not have had as many different disciplines, but he did also guide jacens learning on that path. Plus, we don't know what he hadn't taught anyone else.
(Not personally settled on the idea, but some also argue that experiencing and resisting the darkside on a long term can also kinda buff your power in the light)
But yeah, I stand by the idea that all being equal, and no "this will have worse outcomes" plot hamstringing, Luke could have eaten his lunch then, and likely for a long time after.
This guy was so powerful he learned unheard of sith and jedi abilities to the point where he could travel back in time to when Vader was sacking the jedi temple.....and Vader actually noticed and perceived his presence lmao he was unreal
No freaking way, that's crazy as fuck.
He ran Kyle Katarn through. Kyle almost died in the gutter while Caedus decapitated another jedi.
This man was more studious and balanced no wonder he was so powerful( he understood that the force had more than two schools of thought)
So did Luke Skywalker.
Finally a good video about Caedus. Is my favourite EU character. Disney wasted so much material that they could have used.
Well actually, he fell during the yuuzhan vong war to the Darkside, when his younger brother, Anakin Solo, died
The story of Jacen Solo is one I read completely. I've read a lot of Star Wars books, and I read the entirety of the Yuuzhan Vong war, Thrawn, basically everything that happened after Return of the Jedi. It is honestly an amazing story, and there is so much potential for Disney to draw from, but at the same time, I don't hate the way Disney went with it. It would be almost impossible to recreate the emotion and whatnot into live action. Not saying it can't be done, but I don't think I'd like it. Jacen is honestly my favorite Star Wars character of all time, even as Caedus. The books helped you understand him and why he did the things he did. Not that I agree with all of it, but I don't really blame him.
One does no simply read what you read and then accept what Disney did.
@@rexmagi4606
He is a Jedi, like the fans before us.
We need more on Caedus one of my fave sith lords
I'm at long last reading the Legacy of the Force series. Caedus getting the Fondor operators to drop their shields in the middle of a battle was a major "oh shit!" moment.
This just goes to show how much better Legends goes into detail and actually is character development wise. Canon doesn't do characters justice.
He is probably one of the top 4 most powerful Sith Lords vociate sidious krayt and caedus
Great video. I wish Disney went this timeline when making the sequel trilogy.
They should've stuck with the old EU of starwars I would've loved to see the story of Jason and Jana solo
It’s also worth noting when Jacen died against Jaina, he didn’t want to fight at that moment as he was more worried about saving his daughter.
Ahhh....the solo twins...the storyline we deserved but,did not get!if a treatment of the novels with Jacen,Jaina and anakin solo would have been adapted into a film trilogy using a proven metric,we would have seen the rise and fall of Jacen solo and the immense power of caedus...and if I remember correctly,I think he too was only redeemed at his death by his twin sister jaina....this storyline checked all the boxes for the Disney corporate goons but,provided the depth and reasoning characters abilities....
-Kylo Ren-❌
Darth Caedus ✅
#DisneySucks ✨ #LegendsNeverDie
Now THIS IS A SKYWALKER!!!
Dude great video! I always learn something new here! Thank you!
Someone with one lightsaber is effective at slice and dice multiple targets, someone with twin plasma blades are twice more effective, someone with a lightsaber with a guard or hand protection made from Beskar/Baskar or with a shield has a higher defensive or offensive possible defensive actions.
A lightsaber blade shape of a katana is dangerous usually.
The Shoto lightsaber that from Ahsoka Tano in clone wars season 4-6 the neon greenish yellow and the pair of blue blades given by Anakin can be used similar to a Wakisashi.
Also a staff would work too.
Darth mauls lightsaber staff without the buttons can also be very good for hitting the opponent without activating the blade, since there is no front or back.
I want to see a video on every single Jedi, in the era of Luke Skywalker
Really would’ve loved to see Sebastian Stan playing Jason Solo. Disney really messed up with their own take on the character, but I know Adam did his best with what he had.
When they first hinted about the sequel trilogy I was really hoping it would be about the fall of Jacen Solo and his morphing into Darth Caedus.
Such a strong character that they could have built a trilogy around.
the legacy of the force book series was some of the most interesting I have ever read, it made me regret not starting with books where Jacen and Jaina were children so I could get the whole story, I instead began with the last series when they were already adults, however there were flashback scenes so i got the gist of the whole thing with Vergere and so on.
Lets not forget, there is a 4 or 5 book run up of training for jeina to beat her brother.
Adam Driver could have been an excellent Jacen.
Another example of a Legends character far better then their Disney Canon counterpart.
Another reason why Legends is better then Canon they actually had amazing badass sequel and legacy characters. So sad how Disney literally ruined what Caedus was suppose to be along with that era of SW after episode 6.
It never even occurred to me to compare and contrast Jason and Kylo... it's not even close, not even in the same solar system Cadeus would brush Kylo aside like one does a flie. If Rey came up against him even her plot armor would fail lol. Dude survives a fight with Luke at the peak of his powers, and still manages to hold his own against Jaina another Skywalker and one of the most renowned Jedi of the New order while recovering from his wounds.... He was a sith for like a year, how powerful would he have become if he had time to grow into his power?
Kylo Ren is universally stronger than Darth Caedus. Kylo Ren was a true Dark Side user and mastered it. Darth Caedus was a Sith only for a year. Also Kylo Ren had killed more people than Darth Caedus. Kylo Ren killed 400 people. Kylo Ren even killed a Zillo Beast. This is something Darth Caedus can never do.
@Eren Kaskarli Jason defeated jedi masters including Skywalkers. He defeated numerous dark jedi, fought in the vong wars. He mastered not only the Jedi arts but multiple other force user disciplines before converting to the sith... Kylo wouldn't have stood a chance to Jedi Knight Jason, let alone Sith Lord Jason.
@@iitim2152 You are right about Jedi Jacen. But in a fight between Kylo vs Caedus....No....Kylo wins easily.
Jacen should have been in the sequel trilogy. Would have been more loved than kylo I think
There should be more on this and fate of the Jedi I wish Walt Disney never tock over starwars.
Me too it really sucks!
I would love to see a video of Jaina Solo about her skills & becoming a Jedi Master like her late Uncle "Geand Jedi Master" Luke Skywalker sometime.
Jacen traveled the galaxy learning arcane force abilities for a number of years.. I do remember he took Ben and Luke confronted him and literally sat him the fuck down like a little kid with the force.. these books were fucking great.. also left out is how his sister traveled to train with boba fett .. who was mandalore ..in order to learn how to counter force abilities and kill a force user . It was fucking great..the daughter of Han Solo among the mandalorians .. and mandalorian culture is so much better and more fleshed out in the eu Karen Traviss novels.. she just absolutely brilliantly wove a tapestry of mandalorian lore history and tradition .. I believe Luke also traced havens steps with Ben and learned how to teleport objects etc
It's funny - if Disney had gone with the existing continuity for the sequel trilogy, they'd have had a perfect story here. Additionally, the Y.V. War could've been done like the Clone War was. They had it all layed out in front of them.
Caedus was my favorite EU character; I wish he comes back somehow
I'd like to see a Darth Caedus vs Darth Revan video. I think that would be a really good fight
Caedus is my 2nd favorite character, Vader still dominates even though we never got to see his full potential!
All skywalkers have the same potential
@@Jedioutcast no they don't stop making things up
@ParadoxicalEnigma300 cade don't have the same potential as luke and Leia Jacen was no way near anakin solo in potential and raw power you clearly don't know what you talking about
@ParadoxicalEnigma300 you haven't prove nothing alot yap 🤡
This was I think my favorite story line and my favorite sith
Thank you this is a great video
I’d love to see a video on darth Zannah and her apprentice Darth Cognus
This was quite interesting not to mention informative. It seems that Jason Solo is, in fact, a fully realized force potential Anakin Skywalker in my opinion. I do believe that Adam Diver was a good pick to portray Han and Leia's son, unfortunately it looks like once again Disney, for lack of better words, screwed the pooch.
I would like to see an analysis of Jaina solo. Thanks for the cool, and interesting content!
Darth Fist got taken down by the sword of the jedi, his sister. Also jacen went on a spiritual journey of sorts, meeting with many many different force using cultures, not jedi, to learn a lot of obscure, unique, and powerful abilities. After the war, luke was exiled and with Ben, Retraced jacens steps. This was a wonderfully informed video. I believe Anakin Solo would have been a new convergence.....
The fall of Jacen Solo is my favorite Star Wars tragedy.
Who's this guy at the start? Seems cool. Probably some Old Republic guy. After all, there was no movies after Return of the Jedi.
Jacen Solo/Darth Tytus is everything that Anakin/Vader should have been.
If I could write a new story, I would have Rey and Kylo be twin, but Rey thinks Kylo killed her brother, so she’s going after him for answers, meanwhile, she meets up with a pirate with a lightsaber, and is able to use the force. Later on, this masked pirate would reveal that he’s Luke’s son, looking for his father after Mara was killed in an attack. Or she went missing only for it to be revealed she is the mysterious teacher for Kylo since Snoke is becoming too weak. (We also learn that Snoke what happens when Palpatine’s soul stays in one of his clone hosts for too long, and that since the rise of the empire, Palpatine would have the remaining cloners work on a secret clone army on a sith planet. There these clones would be implanted with cybernetics blending the CIS battle droids, and stormtroopers). Idk, it might sound insane, but it would make for a better trilogy. And as for Kylo, I had a couple ideas for him. Mainly that the reason he joined Snoke in the first place was because he keeps having dreams of a huge battle that would result in the death of billions across the galaxy. So Jacen or Anakin Solo (idk who yet) joins Snoke so he could stop the first order, but over time, he becomes corrupted to the point Palpatine’s ghost is able to possess Kylo, begging for Rey to kill him so Palpatine would die. In which we learn Kylo’s personal mission was to ensure Palpatine’s death once and for all. And I’d definitely have a better send off for the original characters.
Amazing Video! By FAR My Favorite Lord Of The Sith. By FAR. Please More & More Content On Him. KUDOS!
I really feel like Disney has ruined so much of the Star Wars lore that I love. It's bad enough that they scrapped all the expanded universe but they replaced it with complete garbage episode 7, 8, and 9 have just been awful. Further I'm walking up the toy aisle and I noticed that they've decided to drop the name of Slave 1 from Boba Fett's ship. I just can't believe this garbage. It's even made its way into the games for instance the G-rated lightsaber combat in Jedi Fallen Order. The last Star Wars media content that I really liked was the Clone Wars series and even that got canceled early because of the sale to Disney. I'm done I'm not supporting them financially anymore, I hope more and more people do the same and perhaps will eventually get change.
Thank you
The true canon
I really hope IF Disney caves and makes films based around legends content, they do Exar and Ulic, Kyle Katarn, Revan and Caedus absolute justice.
Well, they won't make EU movies as 2 Star Wars universes on-screen would confuse people. But they might revive Legends timeline in other media.
You want Disney to castrated emasculated and humiliated all those male characters???
More from this era please
Fun fact: When LotF with Darth Caedus was released, it was not well received either, both the story and his fall. It only became better AFTER Sequel Trilogy.
To read more details, like how an ATTACHMENT (one of the things Luke allowed in his new order) started this all mess, see:
TV TROPES - Legacy of the Force
I would want a Darth caedus that is redeemed early or when he kills someone important once.i hate that it happened twice(Anakin & jacen) and the galaxy is left to guess if a skywalker/solo born would be good or not.irl you often have to choose the option of changing your surname if a family member is a serial killer.
I always thought it was weird that it was Jacen of all people who fell to the dark side given how paranoid he was about the dark side during the YV War. I like the story of Darth Caedus and how his motives were developed; I just wish he was someone else, not Jacen.
The Chad Caedus/the simp kylo
If Kylo Ren was more like Darth Caedus, I would find nothing wrong with him. Caedus was power and would have been an amazing main antagonist of the sequel trilogy.
They should just bring him & his twin back as secret twins of Han & leia to make up for the sequels
Some other conversations here got me thinking.
The biggest Achilles heel to the sith is simply ego. You can divide them up into two camps:
the sith who HAVE to show how great/clever/powerful or whatever.
This covers 98%of them.
Or,
The sith who just want to get their overarching job done.
Yeah, getting rid of the jedi is for the former a huge ego stroke. But for the latter, it would just be practicality, since they would be best equipped to oppose "the plan".
There is obviously overlap. Palps was the former for a long time. But it was a long game to make himself the former.
Jacen could have been hugely powerful, long term. He could have hid in plain sight, and worked things behind the scenes.
But he had the dichotomy of thinking of himself as low key and self sacrificing, but he had to out himself, just to prove how self sacrificing he was.
If he had REALLY taken the job first idea to heart, he would have never gone so public. But that "I am the only one" mentality actually hamstrung him from what he thought he was working for.
Funny I see you used a young Han with yellow eyes.. I collect figures and have made a custom of him using the body of Besbin Luke and they head of young Han and it’s perfect!
I always read the name as Saedus with the 's' in place of the hard 'c'. It never occurred to me to pronounce it the way it is in this video 🤔.
I'll stick with my head cannon, it fits a sadistic, fallen Jedi better🤷🏿♂️😃
Another glaring example of the failures of Disney to not bring to life the story that was already well laid out in the EU books. From Truce at Bakura up through this tale of Darth Caedus and even more stories afterwards, enough material to develop into movies and streaming shows to last for decades on end and they pissed it all away for diversity, inclusion, and equity. There is a reason those 3 words together spell D.I.E.
when will people learn the eu has a plethora of awesome sith and jedi that disney severely miscalculated the money they would of had to pay the authors for the original stories would of been pennies in the bucket to what they could of made had they gone with admiral thrawn trilogy then a tales of the jedi series which ends in the yu zheng van war.
well as much credit as caedus deserves his brother anakin was leagues above him and even their uncle luke a true loss to the star wars family when anakin solo died he had to correct jaycens misunderstandings on the force and with out him jaycen was unable to see the correct path to his goals.
Only simpletons that believe Kathleen Kennedy when she said there's no material to go off of when she said that I posted on Twitter among other places thd very stuff we're talking about here as well as the old republic umm gee DARTH BANE so much stuff from the EU it just baffles me how stupid Kathleen is... but as far as the rest I can explain why Disney did its own... EGO... they wanted to have their own story that they can take credit for only they beyond screwed the pooch on what they made
Followed, very nice video and introduction
What is the background music?
Caedus is outright stated superior
“It’s a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo.”
Star Wars legacy of the force invincible
Jacen destroys vader
Nailed it! ✌😈

#LegendsNeverDie
Please cover a video of The Blade of the Jedi…Jains Solo
I mean, if they stripped that story down to its essentials, and kept the best parts of the new trilogy, they'd have had something brilliant. For instance, Rey Nobody, Rey Skywalker, or Rey Solo, all of them could have worked with Darth Caedus, and in the latter two cases, falling to protect her the way EU Caedus fell to protect his daughter, Allana. It would also explain why she ended up on Jakku.
The body control abilities sound like someone read Dune.
Worth noting while he would have been talented with Makashi; he practiced a form closer to Niiman.
To be honest I have read all the series of books mentioned in this video and recently reread the series concerning Jason Solo becoming Darth Cadeus, and I have to point out that you got a large amount of details wrong in this video concerning Cadeus and how he gained his abilities and other aspects of his training
Can you cover how Luke and Mara fell in love?
Loved the yuuzhan vong wars and the x wing fights in book 9 or something
how did we get from here and caedus flow walking in vader's footsteps only to fail to alter fate, al the way to lord momin's more comprehensive control of time?
Kra Kruk please!! He survived order 66 and became grandmaster after Luke Skywalker. Most under rated Jedi ever.
