New RC Book Title Revealed! (Page 3 of 3)

I was doing some serious thinking on another forum about this book... this is what I wrote (copy & pasted):

So, how does everyone imagine Darman will react when he founds out he is going to have a son?? Angry, proud, nonchalant... Hm, it's really hard to say, isn't? What about the rest of Omega? I bet they'll be kinda jealous. Everyone has an inate ability to desire carrying on the 'family line,' afterall.

You know, I was thinking... Darman probably isn't emotionally mature enough to deal the process of being a father. I mean, he may have the physical appearance & strength of a 20 something year old man, but his brain is that of an 11 year old... don't you remember when Etain first encountered Darman on Quiilura, all she could sense was a child??
How would you feel... 11 years old and you have a kid? Rather awkward, eh? I'm 17, and I'd freak out if I had the responsibility of raising a kid so yound and so unprepeared. Deep down he is just a kid himself, and I think that once he knows he's going to find out, he won't know how to handle it. It's hard for me to explain... because I'm not sure if I'm right, lol.

I also though of another topic we could talk about. Do you think it was selfish of Etain to want to get pregnant? I mean, I don't know a lot about birth control in Star Wars, but it is a pretty advanced society they live in. AND she said that she planned it, right? So, considering that Darman is only 11 years old, do you think her motives to have a child were right? Did she consider Darman's feelings at all? Doesn't seem like it.
I dunno... but I'd appreciate it if anyone has something interesting to say in more than 2 lines.

The other people of that forum didn't have much to say, so I hope you all have more to add...

I can see the point about Darman still being a kid himself, but he and the rest of the squad were still old enough to appreciate females.  Didn't a couple of them even start feeling jealous when Darman and Atin had girlfriends?  And I think it is a good question about how they will react to the news of Darman and Etain's baby.  I think that since they are so close as a squad, brothers actually, they will be happy for them, but inside they will be longing for the same thing.

I do agree with what you two have said about Etain.  I agree that her motives were in the right place, but she just didn't think it through.  Well, with the clones' stort life span, maybe she thought that now was the best time of any since at this point no one knows how long the war is going to last.  I don't think it would have hurt if she discussed this with Darman first, but it will be interesting to see how things work out in the next book.

Now to just find out what happens once the book comes out

Oh wow, that's really interesting... the title for number four is a big secret, huh? How exciting! She couldn't have started four yet, has she? Already has a title... so the fourth one will be the last?

Yeah, that would make for some interesting stories!  Sadriel--you are on KT's yahoo group too?  So am I (Darth Taiter)
