yubsieToday's (well, yesterday's) sad realization about Jaina Solo:
She had a more interesting plot when she was FIVE YEARS OLD than she does now. Ickle!Jaina was cool. Ickle!Jaina was independant. Ickle!Jaina escaped her kidnappers using a little multitool that only worked on wood and the ability to move sand around with the Force.
Compare this to adult!Jaina, who has been trapped in a love triangle for the past FIFTEEN YEARS without any real plot. I'd say she was acting like she was fourteen, but we saw her at fourteen, and she was still cool. Fourteen year old Jaina was basically a female Han Solo. Fourteen year old Jaina DID things. :p At age thirty? Invisible plotline!
Oh Jaina, what went wrong?
Oh, right. Del Rey. :p
