Description "It's Jacen... Jaina got him." Leia Organa Solo to Han Solo

I've wanted to make this piece ever since finishing the Legacy of the Force novels.

The duel between the Solo twins was one of the most pivotal and heart wrenching scenes since the deaths of Chewie and Anakin during the New Jedi Order series.

I wanted to show a more vulnerable side to Jaina, during the private moments alone when all she has is memories of the twin brother she was forced to kill.

Please leave a comment if you my work, I appreciate the feedback

They both look like the actors from our fan film we produced in 2015. Had no idea these existed.

Wow, this is really poignant. I think this is the only image I've seen that uses this idea, it's beautiful.
Do I have your permission to use this image (with credit, obviously) for a personal project I'm working on?

It's a Jaina-centric personal project called Sword of the Jedi: The Musical. The visual aspect of these videos is fairly simple and slideshow-esque. Since there's very little official art of Jaina and Caedus, I'm hoping to use fan art, especially pieces that convey the emotion I'm looking for.

If you'd like to get a better understanding of what your image would be used for, let me know and I'll provide a link to the first installment (or you can search for "Sword of the Jedi The Musical"). 
I didn't want to just post the link here for fear it could be misconstrued as self-promotion which is not the goal.

Thank you for your time regardless of your answer.

Hi there,I appreciate you asking for my permission to use my art. Not enough people do it these days unfortunately By all means, use the picture for your project. It's always good to see more Jaina related fan works out there! If you could just credit me and post a link to it once it's done that would be great

Real nice. though it reminds that it would have been nice if they had shown killing her twin actually bothered her in the books.

AG88 In reply to Todd-the-fox [2012-11-13 13:36:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I was not well from 2007 until 2010 and didn't do much drawing. Nothing serious, just a lot of stress from relocating, job changes, and my doctor telling me that I keep coming up hot for cancer. The initial tests would show something wrong and then I would get a biopsy and it is normal or benign. Anyway, it is hard to get your muse in gear when you think you are dying all the time. LOL! I was following Hades Sunrider. I guess I need to follow Todd-the-Fox now.

Aww man sorry to hear that you've been through all that, sounds like its been a pretty testing time! thanks for following I tried to rediscover all of my former watchers when I came back to deviant art but I couldn't remember any user names and having dropped the Hades name nobody could find me either lol

Leppardra [2011-12-17 19:19:46 +0000 UTC]

I love how you did this. Jaina and Jacen look like they miss each other very much, and Jacen no doubt did; in the Lake of Apparitions he says to Luke, "Tell Jaina I forgive her." But he didn't ask about his parents, which means he didn't forgive them or he couldn't bear to think about them because his death had stripped him of all his anger and hate, if not necessarily all his evil (he did encourage Ben to stay angry).

Todd-the-fox In reply to Leppardra [2011-12-18 21:20:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much! The lake thing was weird, I think they probably only focused on Jaina because she was the one who killed him

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Leppardra In reply to Todd-the-fox [2011-12-19 00:50:41 +0000 UTC]

Yes, they did focus on Jaina because she had to be the one to kill Jacen, and by doing so she proved herself to be the Sword of the Jedi. If Luke had done it, he would have fallen to the Dark Side because it would have been a revenge killing, as Jacen had murdered Luke's wife Mara to become Darth Caedus.

Someone should have written a story exploring her feelings after she had killed the twin brother she loved, during the two-year period between "Invincible" and "Millenium Falcon". All they said in the latter was that she was desolate during that time. Well, what happened? How did she handle her grief? Did she discuss it with anyone? Did she go anywhere? It annoys me no end that they skipped over this to get to the "Millenium Falcon" story. It deserved its own telling.

Todd-the-fox In reply to Leppardra [2011-12-20 20:45:22 +0000 UTC]

I couldn't agree more! And I hope to see a book to bridge that gap at some point, maybe they should do a duology, one for Jacen's wandering and one for Jainas grief!

Leppardra In reply to Todd-the-fox [2011-12-22 03:15:34 +0000 UTC]

That would be good, only I don't expect the Star Wars Expanded Universe to do it. I would be looking toward a talented fan-fiction writer to write the tales. Hopefully, there's one either out there or on this site who can do it.

Her-Beta [2011-11-16 16:03:55 +0000 UTC]

I've always felt like the series sort of betrayed Jacen by turning him into an irredeemable type of Sith. He wasn't even as bad as Vader! But anyway, this picture is fantastic and definitely demonstrates the regretfully severed bond between the two.

Todd-the-fox In reply to Her-Beta [2011-11-17 20:17:41 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you would have thought that if there was one person out of all of the Jedi who could be redeemed, it would be Jacen! Thanks very much for the feedback, I appreciate it And thanks for the faves too

DarthJudicare [2011-11-07 18:18:38 +0000 UTC]

I love it!!! but this so sad, I like the sad expression of Jaina, because she looks at her brother, i think that she regrets her action, now she lost her brothers, I like also your interpretation of Jacen, i like his sweet expression, he seems good, not the bad sith!! I hate the end of legacy of the force, and Jacen was my favourite character!!! Wonderful work!!!

ps: sorry for the late comment.

Wonderful picture. Jaina's killing Jacen was the most gut-wrenching scene I ever encountered. Image having no choice but to kill your own brother even when you know all to well that he wouldn't hesitate to kill you. It's too bad that no one wrote a story about how Jaina was desolate afterward and how she had to work through it.
