If you think about it, the RA were self acknowledged criminals - hence why they called themselves the Rebel Alliance rather than the Galatic Liberation Front, or some such fancy name

yeah the fancy names come after the battle of Endor-Alliance of free planets, Galactic federation of free alliances, Galactic alliance....

To be honest, they were all a big flop. The New Republic fell during the Vong War, and it's replacement fell too Darth Krayt (assuming it's the same one as the one Darth Caedius is tearing up) about 100 years later. Nowhere near as good as the Old Republic that lasted for 25,000 years.

yeah, you just can't find a decent government these days. lol I wonder how things would have been if Caedus hadn't been stopped.

He's been stopped??? I haven't read that far yet (or are you just guessing that from the fact that the GA was still around in the Legacy comics?)

Shame, they could have kept him around for a while - having him flee in to exile and reapearing later on.

that was one of the possibilities that I'd considered. I'd like to see him come back as a force ghost

Well, considering that they (read Lucas) screwed over Luke's vision in Empire's End of the Solo kids being Great Heroes when they killed Anakin off , perhaps they decided to go the whole hog and screw Jacen over, first by becoming a Sith, and then by cutting his reign short.

visions don't always come true, like Jacen's vision of the killiks taking over the galaxy. I am glad that they decided to kill of Anakin during the Yuuzhan vong war instead of Jacen though

"Always in motion, the future is." - Yoda
You make a good point, but I was just saying that as they decided to get rid of Anakin during NJO, perhaps the reason they decided to get rid of Jacen now is because they thought they'd already messed around with said vision, so decided to destroy (almost) completely. Doesn't bode well for Jaina though, does it?

hmmm, i reckon Jaina won't be killed off. There is alot of speculation that Emperor Fel might be decended from her (and Jag) so if that's true then she'd be sticking around for a bit. Han and Leia would totally flip if she died as well.

There's always the chance that she'll die in childbirth or shortly afterwards though (remember Mara ). Poor Han and Leia. Imagine having Vader as a relative, one of your sons dieing in a war and another following in his grandfather's footsteps before snuffing it too, and then your daughter dieing. The only thing that could make it worse would probably Palpatine coming back and revealing that he's actually Han's dad Edit: I also forgot to mention Chewie

Haha, at least Han and Leia have Allana to take their mind of things. I hope she survives.

Wouldn't suprise me if she didn't :roll:
At least we know that Luke won't lose Ben (unless he remarries and has another kid, although that's unlikely considering he's nearly 60 [58-59 in the Legacy books if I recall correctly]).
