The Jedi Children

Jacen Solo

Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's first son, born on Coruscant in 28 NE. He is very strong with the Force, as is his twin sister, Jaina. Jacen has the special ability to communicate with animals. When he and his sister turn 14, they attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. While there, Jacen develops an extensive collection of the jungle moon's exotic fauna, many of which escape the cages built for them by Jacen's sister, Jaina. When he finally constructed his own lightsaber, Jacen chose focusing stones which produced a glowing, emerald green blade. He later trained directly with Luke himself, as Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style of teaching. Luke also trained Jacen's brother, Anakin, although both brothers had different ideas on what the future of the Jedi should be. Jacen agreed with Luke, that the formation of a new Jedi Council would help bring the vigilantes under control. Jacen also believed more in the spiritual aspects of the Force, while Anakin held to the physical uses of the Force.They fought often, verbally and with lightsabers, both claiming their intense sessions were simply training.

Jaina Solo

Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's first daughter, born on Coruscant in 28 NE. She is five minutes older than her twin brother, Jacen, and is equally strong with the Force. She has certain mechanical abilities, much like her father, but not as strong as her brother, Anakin. When she and Jacen attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the age of 14, she collects all sorts of old technology from the original Alliance base, using some of it to create cages for Jacen's exotic collection of creatures. Others she keeps to see if she can repair them. Jaina created a lightsaber of violet light while studying at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. She later trained directly with Mara Jade, after Mara's marriage to Luke, when Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style of teaching. A real student of the Force, Jaina found it hard to be around her mother when she tried to use the Force. Jaina felt that Leia used her skills with the Force as a kind of toy, nothing really serious and often clumsy in operation.

Anakin Solo

Han and Leia's second son, he is incredibly strong in the Force, especially for a child so young. By the time he is three, Anakin's gifts have become obvious to his uncle, Luke Skywalker. By the time he is seven, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to make anything mechanical work, regardless of whether he understands the device's purpose or its components. His siblings, Jacen and Jaina, have discovered his abilities, and use them to bypass locks and security cameras. They even tried once to have Anakin create a working droid from various scrap components. Unfortunately, the primary motivator Jacen found was faulty, and the droid blew up. Anakin figured prominently in the discovery and activation of some of the Corellian planetary repulsors during the reign of Thrackan Sal-Solo on Corellia. He continued to show great aptitude with the Force, and when his siblings returned from their initial studies on Yavin 4, Anakin was allowed to go as well. He was eleven at the time, and was immediately befriended by Tahiri. Together, they discovered the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of the Woolamander and the existence of the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. He returned to Yavin 4 following the attack by the Shadow Academy, and helped rebuild the Great Temple by veiwing its rubble as a huge puzzle to be solved. Anakin, as well as his brother Jacen, trained directly with Luke, when Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire format of teaching. Both brothers had different ideas on what the future of the Jedi should be. Jacen agreed with Luke, that the formation of a new Jedi Council would help bring the vigilantes under control. Jacen also believed more in the spiritual aspects of the Force, while Anakin held to the physical uses of the Force. They clashed often, claiming their intense lightsaber duels were simply training.
