GhostofAnakin Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I don't think it was implied that Jacen was the most powerful! The Force pick him because he was the one with the right mindset to do that task. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, it was. Vergere commented on the fact that he was. And what he accomplished has NEVER been done by a Force user before or after, atleast without them resulting in death. Jacen tapped in to the Force in a way that no one has ever been able to. Just because it wasn't some lame thing like allowing him to destroy an entire planet by blinking doesn't mean it wasn't an extraordinarily powerful feat in the Force.

DSLuke Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 As I said I believe he had the tight mindset. That said I doubt that he could fight his way to that point as Luke did slightly before if you can remeber.

In fact in the Unifying Force, Luke's final assessment of the Yuuzhan Vong/Force situation was separate from Vergere's, and he admitted to disagreeing.

Knight3 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 hmmm...the two people i want least to be winning (Kun and Revan) are tied for first...what kind of world do we live in where EU characters are beating canon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I doubt that he could fight his way to that point as Luke did slightly before if you can remeber. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Again, you mistake "fighting ability" with "most powerful Force user". Luke's ability to fight with a lightsaber is completely different than tapping in to the Force to use it's power. Jacen was able to defeat his adversary without "fighting" him. But hey, if you disagree with this, then take it up with Lucasbooks. Since they're the ones that implied what Jacen did was such a monumental feat. Personally, I still favor Yoda as the most powerful ever.

In the final book, it would have been impossible for his nephewS (plural) to be impressed, seeing as how Anakin Solo was dead by then and only Jacen and Jaina were in that final battle with him. And both were too busy to even see what Luke was doing.

DSLuke Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Well if you get the impression after reading the book that Jacen was the most powerful, then there is nothing I can do about it, except saying what I believe. Under no circumstances I'm saying that Jacen wasn't important, quite the contrary in the NJO. But don't confuse his role with his ability with the Force.

anakins revenge Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Yeah but facts are facts, Vader and Palpi had lame force powers. And besides everything is a matter of opinion. I say that, as for comic character, 3rd place just behind characters from movies seen by billions is still a very good score. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> dude it looked like they had lame force powers cuz it was filmed in the 70's, and they didnt have very much funding or CGI back then ao give them a break, besides ppl who write the books have creative liscense. Palpatine and vader/anakin have much more force powers, just watch episode 3 when it comes out. trust me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anakins revenge Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 well Jacen had a better view on the force than all of them, but Jacen also said he would never be able to reach the exalted state again, but then again, the future isnt written in star wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
