Darth Caedus is now the declared enemy of nearly every other major character: His mother and sister have disowned him, Luke is sworn to redeem him, Ben and Mara Jade are driven to seek justice for themselves. Caedus kidnaps Allana so Tenel Ka and the Hapans will not decide to leave the government, but Luke, Jaina, Mara Jade, Ben, and their allies save Allana. After saving Allana, Leia tells Jaina to become a Jedi again. Caedus takes on a new apprentice, Tahiri Veila, to replace Ben and turns to the task of ending the war. Caedus then takes control of Coruscant and claims sole control of the Galactic Alliance. Jaina trains to help her face off against Caedus, taking it upon herself to defeat her brother. Caedus's meditations, a vision of his daughter Allana on a white throne in a time of peace, are disrupted by Luke Skywalker, in an attempt to hide Jaina's attack. This vision convinces Caedus that he has won—he would bring peace to the galaxy, and prevent his visions of war and suffering from coming true. At the film's climax, Caedus and Jaina face off in a final lightsaber duel aboard Caedus' flagship, the Anakin Solo.
