Who is jacen solo

While training , he and his friends defeated numerous plots against the New Republic and, in 24 ABY , he and his younger brother Anakin were apprenticed to Skywalker. A philosopher who struggled with the idea of employing violence to fight violence, Solo entered a personal crisis with the outbreak of the Yuuzhan Vong War.

He preferred to serve off the front lines, but felt obligated to volunteer for the strike team assembled to eliminate the voxyn queen at Myrkr. There, Anakin Solo was killed and Jacen Solo stepped up to lead the team, killing the queen and ending the voxyn threat before he was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. Solo spent nearly a year in captivity, during which he was tortured for weeks at a time. Solo struggled with his circumstances and with the teachings of his captor and mentor, Vergere.

He slipped to the dark side before returning and embracing the idea of responding to the universe with unconditional, all-encompassing love. In the final battle of the war, Solo stormed Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane 's Citadel and defeated Onimi , who was mentally controlling the Supreme Overlord, while Solo himself experienced a moment of unity with the Force.

Afterward, he spent five years visiting and learning from various Force-using sects. During his time with the Mind Walkers , he experienced a vision of a dark figure ruling the galaxy and became determined to prevent its fulfillment.

He returned to the Jedi during the Dark Nest Crisis and, armed with a more ruthless philosophy of accepting various sacrifices in the name of the greater good, conspired to eliminate the Killiks to prevent another vision of galactic war and protect his infant daughter Allana , secretly conceived with Tenel Ka Djo.

In 40 ABY , Solo agreed to become the Sith apprentice of Lumiya after probing the future and finding that, if he did not do so, he would kill Luke Skywalker and the galaxy would be consumed by chaos. He embarked on a year-long descent into the dark side , slowly turning against the Jedi and his family as he grew darker and more extreme.

After seizing control of the Galactic Alliance, killing Mara Jade Skywalker , torturing his former apprentice Ben Skywalker , committing multiple atrocities, taking Tahiri Veila as his official Sith apprentice, and ascending to Sith Mastery as Darth Caedus, he was finally killed by his twin sister Jaina. Jacen Solo was a figure of galactic political significance before he was even born.

This resulted in several kidnapping attempts by Grand Admiral Thrawn's Noghri agents against Organa Solo during her pregnancy. As Jacen and Jaina Solo developed in their mother's womb, it was immediately apparent that they were Force-sensitive , and Organa Solo was able to make mental contact with their developing minds through the Force. She did so frequently to calm them when they were agitated. The children were raised in the Solos' Imperial Palace suite, with Organa Solo's adoptive sister Winter serving as their nurse.

Trapped in their suite, they were nearly captured before smuggler ally Mara Jade intervened and saved the family. After that incident, when the Solos, the Wookiee Chewbacca —who owed the Solos a life debt —and Skywalker had to leave Coruscant on a mission that saw the defeat of Thrawn and C'baoth, they were left with Winter and a cadre of Noghri bodyguards , having sworn their lives to the defense of Vader's line.

Shortly after Thrawn's defeat, a new threat presented itself: Emperor Palpatine reemerged from the Deep Core and conquered Coruscant. The twins were evacuated from the planet and hidden away from the resurgent Empire and the growing threat of the dark side of the Force on the uncharted safe-world of New Alderaan. They were quickly followed by members of Palpatine's Dark Side Elite , who sought to kidnap the children for the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Traveling to Onderon , they were followed by Palpatine, who managed to sneak into Organa Solo's room, seeking to transfer his spirit from his dying body to that of Anakin. Brand sacrificed himself to defeat Palpatine once and for all, and the Empire's resurgence was ended.

As Skywalker feared that the young Solo children could be permanently affected by any further exposure to the dark side, they were once more taken into hiding, this time on the remote world of Anoth , the coordinates of which were known only to Winter, Skywalker, and Admiral Gial Ackbar. Only the children and Winter lived on the inhospitable rock, into which had been built a home provided with advanced security systems.

Visits from their parents took place every few months until, in 11 ABY , the twins returned to Coruscant to live with their family, having turned two years old and, in Skywalker's judgment, passed the point of greatest vulnerability to the dark side.

Winter flew Solo and his sister back to Coruscant, where they were greeted by their mother. Having so little contact with her for so long, they were more attached to their nanny Winter.

They were given a tour around the Imperial Palace and their new home before being put to bed by C-3PO , whose attempts to tell a bedtime story Solo rebuffed. Later that week , Skywalker returned, and Solo got to know his uncle.

When Winter left to return to Anoth to care for Anakin, Solo was extremely distressed by the separation from the woman who had raised him, and it required much adjustment to get him used to his new routine and caretakers. Organa Solo was called away from the children to receive the Caridan ambassador , Furgan , the next day.

Angered at having to spend time away from her children, she took them to the diplomatic reception held that night at the Skydome Botanical Gardens , with C-3PO shepherding them. Solo and his sister quickly slipped away from the protocol droid and into the botanical exhibits, where they slipped past the spines of a tentacle-cactus to rest safely against its center.

When C-3PO attempted to recover them, they sneaked away safely as the tentacle-cactus caught the droid. Only a few days later, Han Solo returned from his diplomatic mission to Kessel , which had seen him captured first by Moruth Doole and then by Admiral Natasi Daala of the Empire; thus reunited, Jacen Solo could begin to reconnect with both of his parents. Organa Solo was safe, and the young Solo eventually settled into the new routine of dinners, baths, and bedtime stories.

Yet another Solo family crisis intruded on their life when his mother was stranded on Mon Calamari during the renegade Imperial admiral Daala's attack on it and Han Solo rushed off to save her; Jacen and Jaina were left with C-3PO and Chewbacca. There, the young Solos quickly became bored and evaded their guardians. Wishing to go home, they took a turbolift , thinking that, like the turbolifts in the Imperial Palace, it would take them home.

Instead, after Solo hit the button for the first level, it took them to the long-abandoned surface of Coruscant. They wandered through the derelict and deadly undercity , attempting to use the lessons learned from their favorite bedtime story, " The Little Lost Bantha Cub ," to reach their home. Eventually, they were captured in a trap set by one of the underdwellers to catch food.

Rather than be eaten, they cooperated in using the Force to pull out the pins holding their cage together. Pursued by the creature's ferocious pet, they were forced to take shelter in a small crack. Moving through a small tunnel, they came upon a camp of undercity residents.

Onibald Daykim , the king of the refugees from the Empire who had created the settlement, took an immediate liking to the children. He gave them food and then, using ventilation shafts and other utility systems, carried the twins up the many stories of Coruscant's worldwide city and safely back to their home, where they found their parents had returned.

At dinner with Skywalker's Jedi trainees , Solo and the rest of the Force-sensitives were struck by a wave of death felt in the Force, the result of Durron's destruction of Carida with the Sun Crusher superweapon. Solo and his sister, exploring the ruined Massassi temples, encountered a pack of woolamanders ; through the Force, Solo was able to " speak " to them, a fact that greatly intrigued him.

That night, both Solo twins felt through the Force that Skywalker was in danger. Their cries woke their mother, who with the aid of several other students was able to rescue Skywalker from the trainee Streen , manipulated by the spirit of the Sith Lord Exar Kun. The next morning, Organa Solo departed to save Anakin, having been informed by the traitor Terpfen that he had given the location of Anoth to the Imperial remnants on Carida.

Solo and his sister were left in the care of Skywalker's students. Visiting Skywalker's bier, Solo was able to see and hear his uncle's spirit, standing in the room, as was his sister. They informed their caretaker, Jedi trainee Cilghal , but she did not believe them. That night, Skywalker's spirit appeared to Solo, warning him that his body was in danger from another of Kun's efforts.

Solo woke his sister, who began raising the others, while Solo rushed to the Grand Audience Chamber , where he immediately sensed the dark side aura of the three Sithspawn battle hydras Kun had sent to attack. Fearlessly, young Solo charged the creatures to drive them away.

At Skywalker's urging, he took up the Jedi Master's lightsaber and, with Skywalker fighting through him, defeated all three creatures. In the aftermath, the rest of the students realized that the Solos could see Skywalker, and Solo relayed Skywalker's message that Kun was behind the attacks and needed to be stopped before Skywalker could return to his body.

The students arranged a trap for Kun, luring his spirit into the Grand Audience Chamber and surrounding him. The twins were part of the circle surrounding Kun, overwhelming his spirit with light side energy and, joined by the spirits of Skywalker and Kun's long-dead Master Vodo-Siosk Baas , eliminating the Sith Lord once and for all. Skywalker returned to his body and awoke, much to Solo's delight. Organa Solo succeeded in rescuing Anakin on Anoth, and thereafter all the children stayed on Coruscant with their parents, tended by Winter.

McKumb, insane, caused a commotion that sent the children to the nursery with Winter and Chewbacca for safety and sent Solo's parents off on a mission to Plett's Well. Skywalker began developing Solo's Force talents, training him in the use of basic powers. However, utilization of the Force was only allowed under Skywalker's supervision, to prevent misuse.

One evening, shortly after distracting the President during a council session, thereby causing her to offend the representative from Rhommamool , [31] an attempt was made on the lives of the entire Solo family. Master Skywalker brought with him the identity of the man who sent the assassins, as provided to him by the Jedi Vima-Da-Boda : Devian , [33] leader of the " Restored Empire.

There, Solo spent time with Doctor Hyos , learning about medicine. As Munto Codru had a long tradition of political abductions—kidnappings played out along a set of traditional rules—the children were kept very secure. Nevertheless, while playing outside with Chewbacca and the son of Chamberlain Iyon , they were kidnapped—not by local Codru-Ji but by agents of former Imperial Procurator of Justice Hethrir 's Empire Reborn faction.

A pressure bomb knocked out Chewbacca while the children were spirited away, unconscious. When they woke on Hethrir's worldcraft , the Rebirth , they were frightened and alone. Their kidnapper came to them, presenting himself as their hold-father. Hethrir claimed that he had been coming to visit them when he witnessed an earthquake destroy the castle in which their mother—and, he said, their father and uncle—had been.

He did not know the password which hold-parents were supposed to know, explaining that he had not yet met Organa Solo to learn it. However, he was now their guardian; Hethrir dismissed the fact that Winter was supposed to care for them if anything should happen to their family.

Neither twin fully believed Hethrir's account, and so they mentioned that Jacen had been the firstborn of the twins. Hethrir, who had claimed to be present at the birth, agreed with the lie, exposing him as a charlatan. The twins went along, and young Anakin did not pick up on the subtext. When Hethrir attempted to separate the twins from Anakin, however, they resisted. Hethrir used his own command of the dark side to suppress their Force abilities and had his aide Tigris take the twins away and lock them into separate small bedrooms.

Solo had been playing with a bat on Munto Codru, and it had been carried along with him when he was kidnapped. He covertly kept the animal in his tunic, caring for it throughout the coming days. The next morning, the Solo twins and several other captured children were roused and gathered in lines. Upset and disinclined to follow the orders of Tigris and Hethrir's Proctors , Solo refused to line up. He had to be forced into line, and even then he and his sister resisted, walking out of step and causing disturbances.

Angered, Hethrir canceled breakfast for the children and sent them straight to study. They were provided with educational programming and expected to complete quizzes on it.

Later in the day, the children were lined up and those who could not wield the Force, or who were not Human, were weeded out of the group to be sold as slaves. At breakfast the next morning, Jaina used the Force to put sand in the Proctors' food, causing a disturbance with the cook.

Solo capitalized on the altercation and used his Force-driven affinity for animals to convince the myrmin -like insects in the dining hall to crawl inside the Proctors' clothing. When the Proctors began to stamp on the creatures, he felt intense guilt for causing their deaths, and immediately swept them out of the way with the Force.

In doing so, he tapped into the Force strongly enough that Hethrir, constantly monitoring them through the Force, immediately suppressed Solo's abilities once again. The Proctors were sufficiently irritated by the insects' biting that they rushed from the room, leaving the children unattended after only minimal attempts to ensure order.

The Solos, reunited for the first time since their capture, led the other students to the play yard in a canyon on the surface of the worldcraft. There, they distracted the fearsome-looking but mostly harmless sand dragon that guarded the end of the canyon while Solo approached the dragon and communicated with her through the Force.

Before he could accomplish anything, however, the Head Proctor returned and sent all the children to their tiny rooms. That night, Jaina used her multitool to open her door and let Solo out of his cell.

When the Proctor on watch awoke, the twins decoyed him into Solo's room and, pushing him inside, latched the door to keep him in before they freed the rest of the children in the dormitory. Going out the play yard, Solo used the Force to move air molecules fast enough for them to glow with heat, creating a light in the evening to distract the dragon as he again approached her.

Communing with the creature through the Force, Solo befriended and convinced her to carry the escaping children on her back. As they rode away, he set his bat free.

They eventually reached an artificial stream on the worldcraft's artificial surface, where they could drink and eat berries growing on nearby bushes. However, the five-year-old twins lacked any sort of plan for the escape group which they found themselves leading. They settled on crawling along a path through the bushes, where they hoped the Proctors could not follow them.

They were only barely ahead of the Proctors, and the trail ended at a large and impassable field of mud. The Solos again manipulated molecules, this time freezing the water in the mud to create a solid pathway to a tree on the far side, which was hollow.

They were able to ascend it, where they were quickly found by Organa Solo in her ship Alderaan. With the children aboard, Solo summoned his bat so that he could take it back to its home as well.

Organa Solo and Chewbacca rescued the Proctors, who had been stranded in the middle of the muddy marsh, and obtained from them the knowledge that Hethrir had taken Anakin to Crseih Station. Organa Solo and Rillao , Hethrir's former lover and recently freed prisoner , took the worldcraft to Crseih after attending to the children and locking up the Proctors. Rillao was able to comfort the twins and ease their fear of Hethrir, convincing them that he could no longer smother their powers.

At Crseih, they were able to track down Hethrir and his entourage. Solo and his sister were left with Chewbacca while Organa Solo and Rillao, along with Han Solo and Skywalker, who were on Crseih for another mission, rushed to save Anakin.

However, the children and Chewbacca were unable to resist intervening when the sounds of a fight reached them. They arrived to see Anakin rescued, but Skywalker had been consumed by Hethrir's trans-dimensional ally Waru. Solo's parents leaped into Waru to recover him. The twins surrounded Waru, screaming for their parents and uncle. Their shouts reached the three and were able to cut through the haze of Waru's mental manipulations, allowing them to escape.

Foiled in his attempt to acquire their power, Hethrir was consumed instead by Waru who then vanished to his home dimension. Over the next two years , Solo's life remained relatively stable.

Han remained at home to parent, and when Organa Solo returned from the office, the family would gather to relax and play in their vortex pool. Skywalker spent more time at his Praxeum, allowing Organa Solo to handle the children's instruction in the Force, which consisted of simple exercises. The Solos moved to a larger estate outside the Palace that had a yard of its own. However, Solo spent little time there; as of 16 ABY , he was more interested in mastering the Force than in physical play.

He believed that the Force would provide for all his needs, avoiding the need for strenuous activity. This caused him to become somewhat pudgy, and he, like the rest of the Solo children, lacked friends due to their strict security measures; they had few other children of their age with whom to socialize. Even more, Solo played less and less with his siblings, and Han became increasingly concerned with his son's lack of interest in sport.

At some point in his childhood, Solo found a female rock lizard by a river and decided to keep her as a pet. She was happy in Solo's care and was kind to those who treated her well.

However, she soon started trying to escape. After failing to calm the animal with the Force, he consulted his Uncle Skywalker about this problem and the Jedi was reminded of his friend Windy Starkiller 's pet dewback , Huey , of whom he proceeded to tell Solo. Huey also had a kind disposition and was not very troublesome, but one night he started trying to escape.

Starkiller and his father released Huey to the wild because it was the dewback mating season and Huey eventually returned, so Skywalker advised his nephew to try the same technique.

Solo reluctantly agreed. His pet did later return, now carrying an egg sack. Skywalker later recounted this to Mammon Hoole , and the scientist included it in the dewback entry of his reference book, The Essential Guide to Alien Species [35]. In 16 ABY, Chewbacca left to be present for his son Lumpawaroo's coming-of-age ceremony , and Han was forced to leave to supervise the New Republic Fifth Fleet temporarily, leading to Winter returning to take care of the children during the day.

Skywalker, meanwhile, retreated from the family into a hermetic life for personal reasons. Han was back after two months, but the crisis in the Koornacht Cluster , where the Fifth had been dispatched, quickly escalated. After they returned to Coruscant, Han was again sent to command the fleet at Koornacht, but he was captured in transit by the Yevetha of the Koornacht Cluster.

Solo was terrified for his father, but eventually Han was freed by the intervention of Chewbacca. Han had to spend time in a bacta tank on returning to Coruscant, but the children visited him. Returning home after their visit, they were delighted to find Luke Skywalker present. Rejecting his self-imposed hermitage, Skywalker was ready to take a larger hand in guiding the children's development. The family soon moved back to the Imperial Palace, where Solo and his sister enjoyed exploring the vast building.

Getting out more, Solo overcame his previous sedentary lifestyle and no longer attempted to depend on the Force for strength. Joining with his similarly affected siblings, he pushed back the feeling through the Force, but it was quickly followed by an explosion nearby that made the children worry their actions had caused it. However, the explosion was a terrorist bombing of the Senate Hall , which injured Organa Solo.

Skywalker hurried from Yavin 4 and was able to catch up with the children at their mother's bedside and assured them that the explosion had not been their fault.

With Organa Solo concerned about the children's safety, she had Winter take them to Anoth for the duration of the crisis. When another terrorist explosion struck Smuggler's Run , the children felt that as well, but were better able to deal with it.

Ultimately, the ringleader of the plot, Kueller , was killed and the threat was neutralized, freeing the children to return to Coruscant. In 18 ABY , the Solo children joined together in an attempt to construct a droid secretly, which would serve them without any adults being able to take it away or place restrictions on it. Solo scavenged most of the parts from junk heaps while his mechanically-minded siblings assembled it.

A street urchin and expert salvager slightly older than the twins, Zekk befriended the children, and the three of them often spent time exploring the less reputable lower levels of Coruscant and skirting trouble. As the twins attempted to figure out how to avoid blame, Skywalker entered the room, lectured them on responsibility, and made them clean up the mess.

Solo was simply relieved that it had not been his parents who found out. A few days after the droid incident, Organa Solo was to attend a major trade conference on Corellia , Han Solo's homeworld.

The whole family made an outing of it, traveling there ahead of the summit to see the world. The trip in the Millennium Falcon was long, but the time was filled with family activities and an explanation of the situation in the Corellian system from Solo's father.

When they entered the system , however, the Millennium Falcon was the victim of an ambush beaten off by a squadron of the untrustworthy Corellian Defense Forces Space Service , which had clumsily staged the attack in an attempt to gain the dignitaries' trust. After the momentary scare, Solo and his family were able to make landfall safely. They were taken to the villa at which the family was staying, where Solo learned that he and his siblings were to have a tutor.

On the next day, he was introduced to the Drall Ebrihim and his outspoken droid, Q9-X2. Ebrihim gave them lessons on the history of the Corellian system as they prepared for an expedition to an archaeological site near Coronet City the next day.

Storms delayed the trip for a day, but the Solos, Chewbacca, and Ebrihim and his droid set out for the dig on the next day. Solo was bored by the tour, conducted by General Brimon Yarar of the Human League , the organization that was funding the dig. He was also suspicious, as he had read about archaeology and recognized that the Human League was not following proper procedures.

Instead, they seemed to be looking for something. He and his siblings fell behind the group, and stopped when Anakin began to act strangely. Anakin had, with his Force-powered affinity for machinery, discovered a live power conduit beneath the floor.

He ran off to follow it, and Solo and his sister went along. Anakin found and activated a hidden keypad, opening a likewise hidden door. Solo led the way into the revealed passage, onto a platform near the apex of a vast conical chamber.

He was interrupted in his explorations by the arrival of Q9-X2, who had noticed their absence and tracked them down. Realizing they would be missed, Solo immediately took charge of the situation and insisted that they leave, knowing that they had found whatever Yarar was looking for—and that Yarar should not be allowed to find it. Leaving and making the others promise to keep the chamber a secret, they rejoined the group, with Solo using the Force to brush away their footprints so that they could not be tracked.

The Solos spent the next several days touring before they moved into a suite in Corona House , the governmental center in Coronet, where the trade summit was to be held. During that time, when Solo felt that they were secure, he and his siblings explained to their parents about the chamber they had found.

When the summit started, the children took advantage of their parents' absence to stay up late in their bedroom playing board games. Childhood A young Jacen and Jaina. Jacen's lightsaber. Yuuzhan Vong War When a warlike species from another galaxy tried to overpower the reformed New Republic by using their advanced biotechnology and their strategic skills Jacen fought along the other Jedi to end the war.

The Vintage Collection Antoc Merri Galactic Figure Talk 75 - Subscri Black Series Rancor - 1 Of 4 Tiers All News Archive. Commander Thire Firing Missil Hasbro's Event Summary! Their ideological clashes regarding the nature of the Force and the Jedi Order was well-known, and the two even squared off in a lightsaber battle to settle the argument, to no avail.

Their love for one another never ceased, until the day Anakin died on a mission to destroy the Voxyn Queen, a creature used by the Yuuzhan Vong to hunt Jedi. Already conflicted over his role in events during the war, Jacen took Anakin's death extremely hard, and the next events would not help matters much. Following Anakin's death, Jacen was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and subjected to a series of physical and mental tortures meant to "shape" him.

It was during this time that the mysterious Vergere played a more prominent role in what would be his future Force training. Her manipulations ended up teaching Jacen a number of lessons, both good and bad, light and dark. During his time with the Vong, Jacen succumbed to anger, rage, and hatred several times, though the incidents in question were morally grey. While this did provide him with some enlightenment of a higher understanding of the Force, it also spoke a truth Master Yoda once said about starting down the dark path, and the disaster that would follow.

The final tipping point towards Jacen's fall came when he was accosted by the Dark Lady Lumiya, a Sith practitioner who insisted that the dark side of the Force could be embraced without falling into evil. She cited the life of former Sith Lord Darth Vectivus , a man whose interest in Sith ideology was academic, at best. Lumiya managed to convince Jacen that he could wield the dark side without falling victim to evil. This allowed him to justify a string of atrocities that began with the slaying of Nelani Dinn, one of his padawans who realized he was falling into darkness.

From that moment, Jacen permanently changed, and would soon become Darth Caedus. With Lumiya's tempered guidance, Jacen fell further and further into vanity and evil, which consumed him.
