"Sacrifice" Spoilers Leak Like Dirty Diapers!

[lazypadawan]

TFN posted spoilers leaked from the book, due for release on May 29, since it has already shipped to stores. Normally I'm not much into spoilers but I wanted to know in advance who gets whacked. You see, if they had killed off any of the Big Three, it would've been over for me as far as the post-ROTJ EU goes.

Well, it appears that if the cover art didn't give away who was the "Sacrifice" the spoilers definitely confirm it.

Get ready to sit shiva for Mara Jade.

According to the spoilers, Jacen kills Mara after she attempts to ice him. Jacen figures killing Mara ends his friendship with Ben "Tool" Skywalker, an appropriate sacrifice necessary to make him an official Sith (apparently he didn't like his aunt much for her death to mean anything on its own). His Sith name will be Darth Caedeus, not my preferred "Darth Dumba$$."

One thing is for sure, Jacen is a Dead Sith Walking. There's no way he can kill off his Aunt Mrs. Skywalker and hope to survive this series, much less get invited to the next Skywalker 4th of July family bbq. Then Han and Leia would lose another child, even though at this point I think they'd shrug and say, "Good riddance." Still, it's a bit of an icky fate for our favorite heroes, isn't it? Some months ago I posted a summary of the book that follows "Sacrifice" where Luke actually considers an alliance with Jacen or something. Now it really doesn't make sense.

Unless Luke never liked the ol' ball and chain much anyway.

Oh and I almost forgot...apparently there's going to be a gay Mandalorian couple!
