So yes, we will see new characters in the next two, and the line btw good & evil becoming blurry has always been a central theme - the evolution of Annekin to Darth Vader, then Luke & now Jacen is the emobodiment of the Force struggling to find balance, rather than there always being polar opposites of good & evil, light & dark - the esixstence of these opposed forces in their pure form means there will always be war between them.
Yikes! Now that reads like advert copy that has not only drank the entire pitcher of Kool Aid, but gone back wanting more.
Good to get out of the house a bit more
