How sure are we that this is Jacen? It could just as easily be Ben Skywalker couldn't it?

Yeah, Ben Skywalker is about 14 by then and he could have changed a lot in appearance. Jacen playing a major role in the book does not always mean he is on the front cover. MyNz 16:37, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC) Ben is too young to be the one on the cover. I'd go for Jacen.
 * It's been confirmed that its Jacen on the cover. PS Ben has red hair, not brown. QuentinGeorge 05:13, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * That is weird, he looks younger than 30, in fact he looks younger than his other pictures. And it's not like Ben's hair is vibrant red like Mara's. The picture is in deep shadow. But then again it sure looks more brown than red.
 * Hair colour can change over someones life. My brother's started as blonde but is now brown. Through I haven't heard of red to brown, who says it's not possible? Jacen Solo 22:30, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Not telling his family
So what exactly is Jacen's reason for not telling his parent's that he is Allana's father? -- SFH 19:05, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

I think he would be too ashamed to tell his parents since he didn't marry Tenel Ka legally. Sex outside marriage is a considered a taboo among most Human cultures and probably those in Star Wars. His parents would get upset just as people in the real world would for the same reason. That was the same with Anakin Skywalker when he secretly married Padme without permission from his Jedi superiors.

This would be a black mark on his biography. I notice that his sister and their classmates have all been up to no good recently such as the Dark Nest Crisis and the Swarm War. This shows that nobody is perfect. User:MyNz 19:23 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * You're probably right on the upset part at least as far as Leia is concerned. Han probably would have shrugged it off. -- SFH 19:33, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know if that's it. Considering the variety of races and sexual practices in the galaxy I would think that extra-marital sex wouldn't be a huge deal.  I would bet it's more to protect his son from potential political rivals as well as outside powers wishing to manipulate him.  Consider the difficult childhood that Jacen/Jaina/Anakin had, seems like once a year some power mad tyrant with a super weapon would decide to either kidnap or try to kill them because of their relations.  So long as Allana is known as just the Hapan heir there would be less threat from an outside source. --Anon80
 * I'm not asking why Jacen and Tenel didn't tell the public at large. What I don't understand is why they didn't tell Han and Leia. Hapan nobles would kill Allana first chance they got, but I would think Han and Leia would go to great lengths to protect their granddaughter. Trusting a member of the Hapan Royal family is a calculated risk; trusting Han and Leia shouldn't even have to be a question. -- SFH 20:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Han and Leia don't have the mental protection that Jacen and Tenel do. WHat I don't understand is why didn't he tell Master Luke about it. Luke would have understood the whole Ben mind blocking thing then. Jacen Solo 22:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Mental protection? I don't understand that. And Luke might intellectually understand why Jacen erased Ben's memory of the indicent, but would he accept it, or blind Jacen off from the Force? -- SFH 22:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Luke blind Jacen from the force? Doubtful. Jacen, especially in the last few books, has grown in power. He can do things that even Luke can't. I don't really think that Jacen would fear a reprisal from Luke, seeing as the argument could be made that Jacen is, or could become, the most powerful Jedi in the Order.--Reever19 24, April 2006
 * Mental Protection or resistance, whatever you call it :P And yes, I'm possitive Luke would accept it. His character is one of forgiveness and understanding. Jacen Solo 22:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

"Jasen"
''Timothy Zahn originally intended "Jacen" to be "Jasen", but his editor at Bantam, Betsy Mitchell, suggested changing the "s" to a "c" to make it less 1980s-like. '' Fool editor! The 80's are GOOD! It should have stayed Jasen! :) Thanos6 07:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Jacen's Battle Meld
How come Jacen's Battle Meld ability is not mentioned in this article. The first mentioning of this force power I found was within the New Jedi Order book Star by Star. I think the Battle Meld is akin to the Battle Medition but there seems to be some differces. For one, Battle Medition increases the moral of friendly allies and decreases the moral of enemy troops. Battle Meld melds the minds of your allies so that you know their thoughts and feelings, so that you can better comprehend your allies actions and the battle sitations. LordRevan (UTC)

Hello anyone??? Am I that boring? LordRevan 01:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it's because it's not 'Jacen's Battle Meld,' it's more of a joint meld between the Jedi. Killik Twilight 19:42, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, what did the book say about it. I remember in the book, Star by Star(correct me if I'm wrong), it called it a Battle meld. LordRevan 00:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
