Luke's old flame? The real hottie? She just kind of ran away.. any word from her again?

Im told she died.

Hopefully she died a horriable firey death. That was one of the WORST characters. KJA couldn't handle the already shitty aspect of the character, and Hambly had no idea what to do with her after that. Shit, she didn't know what the hell to do with the god damned book. Planet of Twilight is as boring as Approaching Storm, and as fucking lame as Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

at the time I read her, I thot her good for luke - I preferred mara going with lando.

ah well.

While Luke kept his emotions guarded, he did let his affections show for young Ysanna tribeswoman named Jem. After her death, Luke did not enter into a relationship until he met Callista. If you read the three-book cycle of Children of the Jedi, Darksaber and Planet of Twilight, you'll find out how that particular relationship ended.

I haven't read those novels, but if they never really detailed how Callista and Luke's relationship ended, I'll understand how dumbstruck you are.

It's been a long time since i read those books. I thought she died?

They captured her, brainwashed her, and made her an extra on a Star Trek show.

After doing so, Callista discovered she could no longer feel the Force, nor be felt as part of it by Luke. The only way she could sense the Force was through the Dark Side. She left Luke at the end of Darksaber to try to find her way back to the Force on her own, feeling that she could not be with him as long as she was powerless- she needed to be his equal, dispite his assurances he loved her as she was.

Callista returned in Planet of Twilight to help Luke and Leia, but remained resolved in her decision to seek her destiny alone.

She was the person most responsible for the destruction of the SSD Knight Hammer. Other than that she whines a lot and bitches more.

She could ONLY feel the Force through the Dark Side. Hey, sort of SHITS in the NJOs cereal. I wonder if Vergere has a bad taste in her mouth? Besides, if the NJO writings hadn't turned around so much from the beginning, she'd be a good character to use against the Vong.

She became a broken shell of a woman doing cheap porn movies for a living.

Not really no, but I guess if one is desperate enough one can make it do pretty much what one wants it too.

I don't really see peoples problems with this whole thing, it seems... right to me, I thought this was the highlight of the NJO so far, to me, it even felt hinted at in the movies, I dunno why, it just felt that way.

I mean that there is a Dark side and a Light side is only a philosophy, so it might not be technically accurate, but the results and intents are the same most of the time, we also have the Aing-Tii who see the force in a rainbow, not as black and white.

The Dark Side and Light Side are the Jedi philosophy of understanding the force, and the force is far far faaaaaaaaar bigger than they could ever hope to comprehend, it spans everything, truth and lie, good and evil, matter and energy and so on, but they need to be able to understand it in a way that works with their minds.

Not really.Remember,Jacen first felt the Force through the Dark Side.

To me,Destiny just completes the Tao dualism of the Force that we saw before in the disperate Force philosophies and hinted at in "he who will balance the Force"

The idea that Dark is pure evil and Good is pure good and its better to have only good and no evil arises more from monotheistic societies.

In more,for the lack of a better word,pagan societies,the idea that destruction was neccesary and creation can be unbalanced that needs to be moderated was a key ideology.

What this means in SW mythology is,this concept completes the Unifying Force and Living Force philsophy together,insofar as I understand them
