    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!

      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

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

I do agree Luke would have won a rematch, that's made pretty clear but Caedus was also like 3 decades less experienced.

    The story of Jacen Solo is one I read completely.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Darth Fist got taken down by the sword of the jedi, his sister.

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.

    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.

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.”
