REQUIREMENTS

The person who plays Jaina Solo ideally needs to be able to pass for a teenager between 14 and 16. A naturally beautiful (just look at her parents), fiesty, physically fit young lady. We've got to believe that this girl could wield a light saber after all. It would also help if she was a good actress who wasn't too famous.

EXPANDED UNIVERSE FACTS

Here are some Jaina Solo facts taken from the Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia:

• Born on Coruscant in 28 NE
• 5 minutes older than twin brother Jacen
• Force is equally strong with her
• Good with mechanics like her dad
• Attends Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 at the age of 14
• Creates a lightsaber of violet light while studying there
• Later trained with Mara Jade (after Mara's marriage to Luke, when Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style of teaching)
• Real student of the Force (Feels that Leia doesn't take it seriously enough, as if it's a toy. Finds it difficult being around her when practicing)

DESCRIPTION

"Jaina, sixteen years old, but with the mature and calm demeanor of a veteran pilot. Jaina looked a lot like Leia, with long dark hair and brown eyes contrasting sharply with her smooth and creamy skin. Indeed, Leia saw much of herself in the girl - no, not girl, Leia corrected her own thoughts, but woman. That same sparkle behind her brown eyes, mischievous, adventurous, determined."
