When was anakin solo born

During the first night of the trade summit, the three children overheard a conversation between their parents, Master Trader Mara Jade , and Governor-General Micamberlecto and learned of a starbuster plot which involved the destruction of entire star systems. The Solo children watched from their apartment as enclaves within Coronet City burned to the ground and many people were killed in the first stages of what would later come to be known as the Corellian Insurrection.

Soon Corona House itself came under fire and the children and their companions fled to the Millennium Falcon. Once there, Anakin, Jacen, and Jaina related to the Duchess their experience at the archaeological dig, the mysterious installation that they had found there, and the starbuster plot that they had heard about.

Once inside, he found hidden control panels and used them to operate parts of the repulsor. While everyone else was asleep , he sneaked away and activated the repulsor. Although Anakin was safe in one of the tunnels, the others were in danger of being killed by the energy of the activation.

However, they were all eventually able to get to safety inside the Falcon. Anakin later met his father's brother Sal Thrackan Solo , who came as soon as he learned that Drall's planetary repulsor had been activated.

Thrackan, planning to use the repulsor for his own ends, imprisoned Anakin, Jaina, Jacen, Chewbacca, Ebrihim, and Marcha. He then tried to use the children to blackmail their mother into getting the New Republic to recognize Corellian independence. Anakin showed Jacen and Jaina how to walk "in between" the force field using the Force and the children were able to escape using this technique.

However, Chewbacca and the Drall could not get out. The children made their way, along with Q9-X2, to the Falcon , and took off in it. Thrackan came after them, but they managed to evade his ship due to Jacen's piloting , Jaina's gunnery skills, and Anakin's use of the deflector shield to protect the Falcon.

He took down numerous attackers in an impressive display of raw Force power, but in the end, he was overwhelmed and killed. According to some writers of the New Jedi Order series, Anakin was intended to be the main protagonist of the ensuing era of Star Wars fiction. He remains one of the most beloved characters from the greater Legends lore, and his impact is felt through the following stories even after his death.

His arc through the Expanded Universe is long, complicated, and ultimately tragic. His story is complex, but here are the major beats. Growing up, Jacen was innately gifted in the Force, eventually being apprenticed to Master Luke Skywalker. He was a thoughtful and considerate youth, preferring the spiritual ways of the Jedi to their role as occasionally violent peacekeepers. In the wake of the war, Jacen became inactive in the Jedi, traveling the galaxy in search of other Force-related sects and philosophies.

While fighting a warrior , Daeshara'cor was wounded by an amphistaff 's poisonous bite. Wielding both his own violet lightsaber and her crimson lightsaber, he defended her from further injury. Although he had managed to get Daeshara'cor back to the medical bay with the help from his aunt and uncle, she died—reassuring Anakin that she wouldn't have changed anything. Despite her words, Anakin blamed himself for not being able to save her and live up to Chewbacca's sacrifice.

Despite the growing Anti-Jediism during the war, Anakin's heroic acts led many New Republic citizens to regard him as a galactic hero and the freshest face of the New Jedi Order —much like his grandfather was during the Clone Wars. There were many whispers that Anakin would one day take his uncle's place as the most powerful Jedi. Mara Jade noted that when he walked by, many females turned their heads to watch him.

Anakin was later asked to repair Centerpoint Station. He accepted, and he and Jacen went to the station. Only after it was fully repaired was it clear that the Yuuzhan Vong had never intended to attack Corellia, but instead had planned a sneak attack on Fondor.

During the battle , Anakin could have wiped out the assembled Yuuzhan Vong fleet at Fondor through the use of Centerpoint Station had it not been for his older brother Jacen. Jacen dissuaded his brother from using the station as a weapon, on the basis that it was against the Jedi beliefs. Unfortunately, an old enemy in the form of their cousin, the infamous Thrackan Sal-Solo fired the weapon, destroying the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Though the casualties among the Yuuzhan Vong were great, much of the Hapan fleet was destroyed in the wake of the blast.

This incident furthered the rift between the two brothers, Anakin knowing he could have destroyed the Yuuzhan Vong fleet without the collateral damage if he had taken the shot, instead of listening to Jacen. Two months after the Centerpoint incident, Anakin was meeting with a group of Jedi that consisted of his uncle and aunt, Kenth Hamner , Cilghal , and Cilghal's apprentice, Tekli.

They tracked the spy—a female Yuuzhan Vong—across Coruscant and into an alley, where Anakin hit her with a short-range variant of the Stokhli spray stick , after fighting off a swarm of Razor bugs. Unfortunately, the spy managed to kill herself by slashing her own throat before scientists could properly study her.

While there, the trio were disguised as Kubaz. Anakin was unsettled by this, but still participated when his family, now including his older sister Jaina, went to rescue Jacen. It was later revealed that Thrynni Vae had been killed. During the rescue attempt, Anakin caused a distraction by jumping on a stage and challenging his uncle to a duel.

While the audience was distracted by the swordplay, Jaina sneaked up to Jacen's room and convinced him to leave. Anakin and Luke were then forced to abandon their distraction when armed guards opened fire on the duo. Along with Mara, they held off the guards long enough for Jaina and Jacen to escape, and then followed closely.

Later, Anakin played an important role during the defense of Duro when he defended the orbital city of Orr-Om by shooting down a serpentine Ychna which was attacking it, shooting a proton torpedo into the creature's mouth. When Mara took off, and large portions of the docking bay remained attached to the Shadow , Anakin attempted to shoot them off, but was unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, the small force was unable to defend Duro alone, and the Yuuzhan Vong finally overtook the planet, forcing Anakin and his family to retreat. During a meeting on Coruscant, in which Kyp Durron expressed his distaste for Luke Skywalker's methods, Anakin and his sister, Jaina, tried to keep Durron from leaving Coruscant. Durron argued with both of them that they should come with him, but they both declined. However, when he told his uncle, Luke told him that he could not go. Knowing Tahiri could die if he did not go, Anakin forged permission to leave Coruscant and set out with his droid, Fiver.

Upon landing, he was greeted by Kam Solusar and later Tahiri. He informed them of the Peace Brigade's imminent attack, and Solusar agreed to let Anakin and Ikrit stay behind to hold of the Brigade. During their flight from the Temple, however, Ikrit stayed behind to hold off the Peace Brigade and was killed.

Tahiri, in an attempt to recover her master's body, leapt from the ship, only to be captured. Anakin, Vehn, Valin, and Sannah were forced to leave Tahiri behind. While returning to the Praxeum, Anakin encountered many warriors. He was able to defeat most, but was almost killed before Vua Rapuung , a Shamed outcast Yuuzhan Vong, came to assist him, asking for help. Vua Rapuung helped Anakin reach the Yuuzhan Vong encampment. Anakin's lightsaber was damaged in the process, forcing him to rebuild it with a Yuuzhan Vong lambent that he stole while pretending to be a slave.

He attuned his lightsaber to himself and discovered a way to sense the Vong through the Force, channeled through the lambent. Anakin was the first Jedi since Vergere to sense the Yuuzhan Vong, and thus called it " Vongsense ," a name which Jacen later adopted.

The Yuuzhan Vong had performed numerous experiments on Tahiri during her captivity, but Anakin and Raapung fought through hordes of warriors and helped her recover from the ordeal. Anakin told Tahiri that he loved her, and she snapped out of the Mezhan Kwaad 's shaping. Unfortunately, during their escape, Raapung was killed, although Kwaad admitted that it was she who had shamed him.

After their escape, rumors of their exploits on Yavin 4 ran rampant through the labor class Workers and the outcast Shamed Ones of the Yuuzhan Vong, who soon began to see the Jedi as their salvation, as Anakin's exploits had helped remove Vua's shamed status.

While there, Tahiri and Anakin sensed a Jedi in trouble. After defeating the Brigaders, Anakin ran to Nu's side while Tahiri called for assistance. Unfortunately, before they could act on this information, they were arrested by the Eriaduan judicials under a Human male named Lieutenant Themion. Tahiri broke free and rescued Anakin—uttering a Yuuzhan Vong war cry—and the two made their escape.

In the lobby, they found two judicials dueling with their lightsabers. They Force pulled them away when one judicial made a sloppy slash, making it look like the judicial had knocked both lightsabers away. After reclaiming their lightsabers and hijacking a police speeder, though the two Jedi eventually reached the spaceport and escaped off-world with Corran Horn on their transport Lucre. They came out of hyperspace in the midst of a Vong fleet and landed on what was assumed to be was an asteroid, but was actually a Yuuzhan Vong Yorik-stronha spy ship-analogue which was christened Stalking Moon.

Having arrived, they managed to warn the Givin Dodecian of the impeding invasion of their planet. He managed to kill Choka before the Givin decompressed the space station to kill the Yuuzhan Vong. Tahiri and Anakin were forced to stay in a storage locker while Horn went to find vac suits. Feeling the end was near, Anakin admitted his love for her and the two shared a kiss. This creature was proficient in hunting down and killing Jedi.

During a meeting, Anakin volunteered to lead a strike mission to kill the Voxyn queen. Though his father was at first set against the idea, the mission was approved, and Anakin selected a small band of Jedi. The mission began when Lando Calrissian, posing as a defector, offered Anakin and his team to a Yuuzhan Vong commander.

During the faked capture, one of the team's members, Ulaha Kore , was badly wounded by a Yuuzhan Vong wielding a Coufee. Jacen Solo, using a mind meld, linked the strike team together through the Force. When it looked like Kore would be unable to handle any more torture, Yaght asked Jaina to pick a new subject, forcing her to choose between Anakin and Jacen. Anakin insisted through the Force that she pick him, and reluctantly, she did.

Anakin whispered something in Kore's ear, and she attempted to impale her hand upon a Voxyn's poisonous spines. Jacen confronted Anakin about his discussion with Ulaha, believing he had told her to make the suicidal attack on the Voxyn. However, Anakin told Jacen that he had not done so, and instead told the Bith to reveal the name of Eclipse Station to Yaght. The team successfully rescued Ganner from the bridge, where Tesar Sebatyne shot the Yaght in the face, killing him.

Ulaha remained behind to distract the Vong while Anakin and the remaining team members dropped to the worldship. They landed on the worldship, but Kore and the droid S were destroyed in the process.

Anakin allowed them to join the team, but would only give them blasters, not lightsabers. Soon after, S was destroyed, as well. The group soon stumbled upon an AT-AT , which was inactive. They soon stumbled upon a slave city, where Eryl Besa and Drark were killed, and Anakin was wounded with an amphistaff through his side. Soon afterward, Bela Hara was killed, and Tesar Sebatyne took possession of her white-bladed lightsaber.

The teams third Barabel member, Bela's hatchmate Krasov Hara , was also killed with voxyn acid in her face. The team soon discovered an escape ship, the Tachyon Flier. Lomi Plo and Welk, sensing that the mission was taking a downward turn and considering Anakin suicidal since he did not have an escape route, stole the ship, which had the wounded Raynar Thul aboard, and wiped most of the team's memory of them.

Shortly afterward, Anakin stayed behind in a Grashal to fight off as many Yuuzhan Vong as he could and give the rest of the team time to accomplish the mission. Tahiri, weeping, rejected him a last goodbye kiss, saying he'd have to return for it. Anakin was unable to return, as the Vong overwhelmed him, and he began fighting them in an intense battle, pouring pure white energy from his fingers to disintegrate the warriors.

The Force energy that he drew upon overwhelmed a damaged body; having been mortally wounded going to his sister's aid, as Anakin died a beacon of light surrounded by the Yuuzhan Vong.

The remaining team members were assisted by the alien Vergere, who gave Jacen Anakin's lightsaber, while Jaina, Tahiri, and some others went to recover Anakin's corpse. Jacen, Tesar, and the rest assaulted the voxyn queen's cavern, and Anakin's older brother killed the queen by using the Force to make her tail go into a void created by a dovin basal.

Jaina and the others managed to steal Nom Anor's ship, the Ksstarr , but Jacen was captured. Anakin's death forced Jacen into a prominent role, pushed his sister Jaina to the edge of the dark side, and launched Tahiri into the throes of despair. His sister and the other escapees flew his body to Hapes, where family and friends gathered for a funeral.

The funeral for Anakin was in Hapes, where the survivors from Myrkr excluding Jacen gathered, and friends and family. After a memorial ceremony, Anakin was cremated by Luke Skywalker. While in captivity on Coruscant, Jacen was tricked by Vergere, who was using Anakin's voice, to keep Jacen from killing the Dhuryam.

Jacen also saw the form of Anakin again while running from the Jedi Temple , although this turned out to be a trick of a Yuuzhan Vong Cavern beast. Jacen also may have encountered Anakin's Force ghost on Yuuzhan'tar in the Solo's former apartment.

There, they must seek to understand an alien culture, battle a vicious monster, and unravel the mystery similar to what they found back on Yavin IV. In a way that is redeemed beautifully by Anakin Skywalker's hatred for the sandpeople in Attack of the Clones, in the Junior Jedi Knights we find Anakin Solo befriending Tahiri Veila, who was raised by sandpeople on Tatooine. In this book Tahiri and Anakin go to Tatooine to solve the mystery of the Golden Globe and to discover the truth of Tahiri's parentage.

Plus, they battle a Krayt Dragon! In a perfect blend of emotional depth and fan service, Anakin's Quest is the story of Anakin Solo's journey to Dagobah to reckon with his namesake. He's contrasted with Uldiir, a student weak with the Force who steals a Jedi Holocron and Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber, thinking he can shortcut his path to becoming a Jedi.

Anakin must follow in his uncle's footsteps in redeeming a lost Jedi in order to become one himself. The epically creative and groundbreaking Dark Empire saga concludes with a two-issue miniseries from legendary writer Tom Veitch though this time without Cam Kennedy's trademark watercolor art. The reborn Emperor Palpatine launches his ultimate plan to transfer his essence into the form of Leia Organa Solo's unborn son! Not to mention another powerful superweapon.

Very Good. Picking up where Vector Prime leaves off, Dark Tide: Onslaught gives us our first glimpse into the fallout from the initial Yuuzhan Vong incursion. In an effort to learn more about this foreign race, and with little assistance from the New Republic, Luke Skywalker takes it upon himself to dispatch a number of small teams on various missions across the galaxy involving recon, rescue, and recovery.

As is often the case, these missions end up being much more than meets the eye, as the heroes of this New Jedi Order find themselves pushed to their limits The Vong unleash a planet-annihilating force of destruction upon the peaceful planet of Ithor. To save it, Corran Horn must challenge Shedao Shai into an honor-duel upon which the fate of an entire planet hinges.

All wars create loss. Loss of life. Loss of friends. Loss of faith.
