Solo twins

Jacen and Jaina Solo are a pair of twins born to Han Solo and Princess Leia in 9 ABY. Jaina is the elder of the twins and they have a younger brother, Anakin Solo. All three Solo children trained with their uncle, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion Jaina saw active service in the New Republic Defense Force, at first as a pilot in Rogue Squadron and then leading the psy-ops Twin Suns Squadron. She eventually achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and was assigned to escort her parents on diplomatic missions for the Galactic Alliance.

Although Jacen did not ever officially join the military, he eventually served on Admiral Kre'fey's flagship, the Ralroost to help coordinate fleet actions by joining fellow Jedi in a Force Meld. He exceeded in this post with help from his "Vongsense," the rare ability among Jedi to sense the Yuuzhan Vong.

Despite their strong affinity with the Force, the Solo Twins are frequently kidnapped by enemy forces. This has become something of a running gag in the Expanded Universe, much to the chagrin of some fans and the undying amusement of others. The most recent example of this being Jacen Solo's capture and torture by the Yuuzhan Vong and subsequent training and escape arranged by the ex-Republic Jedi Vergere.

As with many post-Galactic Republic-era Jedi, Jaina eventually found love; a romance of sorts blossomed with Colonel Jagged Fel, nephew of Wedge Antilles, and a pilot for the Chiss.

As of The Unifying Force, the last novel in the New Jedi Order series, the Solo Twins are twenty years old.

Like the rumors of Anakin Solo, unsubstantiated rumors concerning Jaina Solo have been rather abound&mdash;one such rumor claiming that Jaina would have a child in one of the next Expanded Universe books.
