I tried reading the books, but the whole future influences the past was over my head. I never understood why Jacen would kill Luke, and the galaxy would be destroyed if he did not agree to become a sith
It still cheeses me off they did this to Jacen. I'd say his fall starts when he's replaced with Jaacen in Vector Prime, cause it's not the same character from Bantam Era, and his arrogance was ripe for an eventual fall. However, Legacy of the Force was such a painfully contrived attempt to reenact Anakin Skywalker's fall. It's absolute Tolstoy next to the sequels, but everyone has to act out of character to make the story happen, which is a big warning sign that the story shouldn't have happened. With Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi had not seen a Sith in 1000 years, so it's not surprising they were unprepared, especially against 4D chess master Palpatine/Sidious, but Jacen knew better. The people around him knew better, and Lumiya was no Palpatine. It's makes so little sense, they did another nine book arch trying to explain it. However, I do have to fault the video for leaving out big chunks of why Jacen fell. His desire to protect his daughter was probably the most relatable part of the story. Vergere's corruption of Jacen by contrast is rather brilliantly written. I think she's one of the best villains in Star Wars, partly because she's a genuinely complex character with some brilliantly slippery philosophy, even takes Luke in for a bit.
@@starwarsshorts235 A live action of Young Jedi Knights could have been awesome. That's my Jacen. Much as I hate Legacy all the quotes of his jokes with each chapter in the last book was a heart breakingly good artistic choice.
Wow! I knew a little bit about Jacen but did not know how it ended. Thank you for the story 😀😀
Epic.

for me personally, Jacen's character arc was at its best from bantam era through to the end of young jedi knight series, those stories are timeless
