If he doesn't actually make the big kills in this series I'll feel like such a jerk lol. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

They could pull a LOTF and have Golden or Allston do the kill, like Traviss in Sacrifice. _________________ "How's that for a system malfunction?" -Jaina Solo "Embrace the pain, Scarhead."-Jaina Solo

My personal theory was that Raynar was spared so that a)DN's ending wouldn't be as similar to already planned LotF's, with Jacen dying and b)to prepare way for Jacen's killing: "Raynar lived in similar circumstances, so letting Jacen live would be too similar, we must kill him in the last novel." But now Jacen is dead, and the EU needs new gruesome deaths. And so the door of Raynar's cell is opened. A role as a target of Daala's propaganda campaign, and a heroic, redeeming death wait. Personally, I don't really care about Raynar. I was rather offended the different way he - a scion of a wealthy family - and Alema - who was originally basically a child "exotic dancer" in a sleazy den - were treated in DN, and considering the way Alema and Jacen were then treated in LotF, I am tempted to show my thumbs down. Raynar shouldn't get better treatment than other normal characters - after all, he is no Ben Skywalker.

I hope they don't kill off poor Raynar just for the heck of it. That particular character has taken some of the worse abuse any SW author has ever dished out, in my opinion. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

I think it's the best of the current four. Yikes, yet more proof I need to log in more often! To answer your comment, Mara, No, I didn't care for the Omen cover. I don't really see how Vestara merits her own cover at this point. Plus, her lightsaber looked slightly.....off. And there's simply no excuse for Luke's hair on the back cover. it makes the ANH hair look almost "hip". _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows Okay, true, she didn't quite merit her own cover just yet. But I thought it was an awesome cover all the same. It's exactly how I picture a Dark Side Jaina. And Luke is off. I can't explain it any other way than to say that he looks a bit...wide. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

Caedus_16 Master Joined: 15 Apr 2008 Posts: 4419 Location: Korriban Ok with Vestara I'm with Padme, she doesn't merit her own cover yet. Maybe later in the series. Personally I'd like to see Allana on one. Oh, and look at her belt. My friend wears the same one and she got it at Hot Topic.

He has served his role when it comes to Jacen's fate, and at this point, if they think the plot needs deaths of previously established characters (instead of just creating new ones to be killed, which would have less impact) he would be a rather "safe" kill. Of course, he has supporters among fans, as EUCantina and NJOE forums show, but I don't suppose there would be any big backlash. So, if there will be yet another mini- Jedi Purge and they have been drawing up a list of characters to kill, Raynar could be a relatively easy addition to that list as a previously established character whose removal would have little to no impact in in-universe, but would still be more emotional to readers than the death of some new character.
