If they're not dead... [TEMPEST spoilers!]

[emlayy]

Now, I have no idea if this is real or not. EDIT: It is real, it was coming from someone who has an advanced copy of the book Bloodlines, which contained a Tempest preview in the back.

Someone on the NJOE said that one of the characters in the preview for Tempest was Alema Rar.

First off, I need to squeal with happiness at the prospect that Alema may not be dead after all. (After all, this is Denning who wrote it. If their death isn't clearly spelled out -- such as Anakin's -- they aren't dead!) She is listed in Wookieepedia as part of the Tempest DP. I've read a few more spoilers, but I don't think it's fair to divulge any more. ;P

I'm insanely happy that Alema may be alive, but I'd like to get a discussion and some speculation going on this. What role is she going to play (it will apparently somehow involve the World Brain), how did she survive (all we know is that the spider sloth walked away with her in its mouth), and what exactly is our favorite Twi'lek flirt up to now?

HMM.

Also, I'd really like this to stay a discussion, so I'd prefer if we didn't get all social on this thread.

Anyway, speculations ahead! Is she alive, or is her Force ghost going to be playing a major role? (I have a snarky comment to make about the latter, but I don't think it's appropriate here, so I'll leave it out.)

Well?

[Dorian Ravencroft]

Well I find it hard to belive that her force ghost can play a major role. Although I don't doubt that she has one, the sith are the only ones that really get to keep doing stuff after death ( read about the sith summoning).

[emlayy]

I've read the preview, and she's alive. So, no Force ghost Alema. Which would bring us to: How did she survive and what role is she going to play?

MAJOR SPOILER:

An excerpt from the preview:

Jacen Solo was as arrogant as ever- and this time, it would be his undoing.

The angle was perfect, almost too perfect. If she struck now, he would be dead almost as soon as he hit the ped-walk. Even if corpse robbers did not drop the body into the skylane, the only hint of what had killed him would be a tiny barb in his neck and a trace of venom in his nervous system. Nobody would know that his death had been an execution...not even Jacen.
But Alema Rar needed them to know.


END MAJOR SPOILER AND I'M SORRY IF I JUST RUINED ANYTHING FOR YOU

[Marybeth (anni)]

Seriously, Alema is alive?! I might hate her but it's still cool

[Courtney Solo]

*tries not to cuss* LOL, no, no, no, I'm not like that.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNN IIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

[Dorian Ravencroft]

ok, where did you get this info?

and court, we all no you are incappable of cussing (whether that be a compliment or insult I will leave for you to judge)

[emlayy]

The NJOE boards. The central for any and all SW spoilers.

And Courtney, this great news! Fabulous news! *swings her around in a circle* Alema's alive, Alema's aliiiiive~

But really, I'd like some speculation here. I've got a few more spoilers that just add to the complications, but if anyone's interested...*coughcough*

[Dorian Ravencroft]

link me plz.

[Dorian Ravencroft]

thanks I'll read it in a sec.

[Cassa Solo]

OMG,OMG,OMG!!! That exerpt means Courtney was right,Alema IS evil!!! You do realize that this means A LOT more people are going to hate her now right?

[Dorian Ravencroft]

wow, i didn't think of it that way.

[emlayy]

You never know. After all, Jacen is a Sith now. Alema, being a former Jedi, is justified to kill him.

However, she's actually unaware that Jacen is a Sith, she only finds that out by the end of the preview. She's really trying to kill him to get revenge on Leia. (And I don't blame her. Leia winning those fights was ridiculous; Alema was a fully trained Jedi and had the power of the Gorog besides, so I don't know how Leia could've won. But moving, moving on.)

!!

[Dorian Ravencroft]

well, although I am lost in most of that I am happy to hear about anyone being a sith!

[Cassa Solo]

Though she is justified to kill him she was going ater him for the wrong reason considering the fact that revenge is of the dark side.Remember that as stupid as Del Rey is they wouldn't dare kill off Leia,I mostly think they wouldn't kill her off 'cause she is sort've the next 'chosen one' in line.

[emlayy]

Yup, but hasn't Alema always been borderline dark side?

[Dorian Ravencroft]

wait, there was supposed to be an new chosen one?

[Cassa Solo]

There's sorta like a line in the family of the chosen one. Anakin Skywalker filled the prophecy of the chosen one but he failed to fufill it,and where he failed his son sort've succeded,and I think until Ben is at the right age Leia is the next chosen one in line.Or something like that.

[Dorian Ravencroft]

ok,

[Cassa Solo]

Y'know I thought Emlayy would pop out of no where and correct me.

[emlayy]

Eheheheheh.

...while I don't agree with that, I don't find anything wrong with the theory.

SO -- omg. How many people have Bloodlines and have actually read the preview? I got in trouble and so my parents refuse to get it for me.


ETA: OMG I JUST GOT BLOODLINES. FIRST THING I DID WAS READ THE TEMPEST PREVIEW.

Apparently Alema's deformed as anything -- all lopsided and amputated and everything, and she was apparently delirious for a while. She was having hallucinations of seeing her sister or whatever and then ended up stranded on top of a mountain. Or something. !

Eeee, Tempest will be MADE OF AWESOME.

[Dorian Ravencroft]

SOOL!

[Dorian Ravencroft]

COOL!

[Cassa Solo]

Bloodlines is sold out here.I can't find it ANYWHERE!!!

[Dorian Ravencroft]

wow this has append twice now...tis not good

[Cassa Solo]

What has happened twice and isn't good?
