“*The Order can't wait for a great Jedi Knight to lead it. That's what everyone thought I was, and when I died, too much died with me. Don't make the same mistake I did, don't let anyone push you into that. Every Jedi has to be his own light, because the light shouldn't go out when one Jedi dies.*”
―Anakin to Luke

**Anakin Solo** was a major protagonist in the *New Jedi Order* series until his death in *Star by Star*. At which point, his brother Jacen Solo took up the mantle of main protagonist. Following his death, Anakin appeared twice as a ghost: first in *Traitor*, then in *Fate of the Jedi: Abyss*. After his brother's fall to the dark side, Anakin became the namesake for Lord Caedus's flagship.

He is the youngest child and son of Leia Organa and Han Solo, the younger brother of Jaina and Jacen, grandson of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker and cousin of Ben Skywalker, uncle of Allana Solo and the nephew of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker.

## Appearances

Anakin is named after his maternal grandfather, Anakin Skywalker, and, like his namesake, is a talented pilot who is prodigiously gifted both in the Force and mechanical engineering.

Anakin appears as an infant and toddler in many *Star Wars* novels such as the *Jedi Academy* trilogy (1994). Anakin and his siblings play central roles in other novels such as *The Crystal Star* (1994), the *Corellian* trilogy (1995) and *The New Rebellion* (1996). Anakin's birth is featured in Tom Veitch's *Dark Empire II* comic book miniseries (May 1995). He is first referred to as Han Solo, Jr. by his father, but Leia corrects him, having named the baby after her biological father, Anakin Skywalker, as a reminder of hope. However, Anakin still fears the name and his grandfather's legacy.[22]

On October 1, 1995, Nancy Richardson started the *Junior Jedi Knights* series with *The Golden Globe* starring Anakin and his best friend Tahiri Veila. Anakin was now an eleven-year-old child starting his training at the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4.

Richardson continued Anakin's adventures in the following two novels, *Lyric's World* and *Promises*, before Rebecca Moesta finished the series with *Anakin's Quest*, *Vader's Fortress*, and *Kenobi's Blade*, starting in 1996. Anakin appears in the *Young Jedi Knights* series by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta, which follows the adventures of Anakin's siblings, Jacen and Jaina.

In 1999, the first novel of the *New Jedi Order* series was published, entitled *Vector Prime* by R.A. Salvatore. Anakin is now a teenager studying as a Jedi under his uncle, Luke Skywalker, debating with his brother, Jacen, on the ways of a Jedi and the Force. In the novel's climax, his father's copilot and best friend, Chewbacca, dies saving Anakin's life.

Anakin plays major roles in *Dark Tide: Onslaught* and *Dark Tide: Ruin* by Michael A. Stackpole published 1 February 2000 and 1 June 2000, respectively, and is the main focus of the books *Edge of Victory: Conquest* and *Edge of Victory: Rebirth* by Greg Keyes published April 1, 2001 and August 1, 2001, respectively.

In the 2001 novel *Star by Star* by Troy Denning, Anakin leads a team of Jedi to take out a dangerous enemy, resulting in his death. Writers of the *New Jedi Order* storyline revealed in a question-and-answer section of the paperback edition of *The Unifying Force* published on August 3, 2004 that Anakin was supposed to be the hero of the story and lead the Jedi Order, but this was changed due to the release of the *Star Wars* prequel films, in which the hero was also named *Anakin*. Instead, he dies in battle at the conclusion of the novel.

Even after his death, Anakin Solo has been mentioned several times in most following novels, including a possible appearance in *Traitor* by Matthew Stover, as a droid in *Betrayal* by Aaron Allston as Anakin Sal-Solo, and in *Backlash*, where he appeared to his maternal uncle Luke Skywalker and to Luke's son, Ben Skywalker by Aaron Allston.

Anakin is portrayed in the earlier books as being a genius and a loner, but is haunted by his name. In *Lyric's World*, it is revealed that he loves to take computers apart and put them back together and sees it as a puzzle.[23] He would also have dreams of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader trying to persuade him to fall to the dark side of the Force; Anakin overcomes this fear in *Anakin's Quest*, in which he confronts himself.[24]

In *The New Jedi Order* series, Anakin is older. He still spent time alone thinking about the role of the Force, and would get into arguments with his brother Jacen on the subject.[25] However, his uncle Luke still sees Anakin as too young and reckless.
