Senior?
Wouldn't "Jaina Solo Sr." only be appropriate if she was Jaina Solo's mother? --SparqMan 16:35, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I figure it's used due to the fact that Han's mother is the 'senior' betwene the two Jaina's, age-wise. Kuralyov 16:37, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Wikipedia describes "Senior" as: The older of two people of the same family with the exact same name, often a parent (for example, Ken Griffey, Sr.). So this is gramatically correct. MarcK 16:38, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, interesting. Thanks. --SparqMan 20:40, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I propose we move it to Jaina Solo (Elder) as well as Jain Solo to Jaina Solo (Younger). supergeeky1 08:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Infinities?
Is Routine an infinities story? If it is, then i don't think Han's mother's name being Jaina is canon... what do you guys think? Azizlight
- Just thought i'd also add... according to the Han Solo trilogy, Han had no memory of his parents. Also, they abandoned him at an early age - why would he name a ship, and his daughter, after them? Azizlight 16:57, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Bah, I had this long thing I was going to post just as you were saying that. Well, just because I don't want to waste it:
- Well technically all of the Tales issues up to #20 (or 21, I'm not sure) are Infinities, but the Star Wars Timeline Gold has accepted all stories that don't contradict anything as canon, and most people took any plausible stories as canon in their own minds; An'ya Kuro's death is officially represented in Darth Vader: Extinction for example. I think perhaps the original idea behind Tales was to have all non-canonical stories, but then of course the actual authors took matters into their own hands and made fully plausible, non-contradictory and in some cases (such as the aforementioned death of the Dark Woman) can be seen as nothing but canonical. Naturally alot of the other stories in Tales are, in fact, apocryphal, and I've been consulting the SWTG to make sure what and what not to add in regards to that.
- Now of course with the Han Solo Trilogy point you just brought up.....um....what book does he say it in? Because if it's in The Paradise Snare, it's possible he may've learned their names in between stories somehow. MarcK 17:06, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I think some of the Tales were meant to be canon, and some infinities. In this case though, it still doesn't make sense that Han named a ship and a daughter after a mother who abandoned him. Just doesn't sound like something Han would do. I'm going to throw the canon dispute tag into the main article. --Azizlight 17:25, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Then again, Han and Leia named their son Anakin, which makes no sense at all: Han agreeing to name his son after the man who tortured him and froze him in carbonate? Leia agreeing to name her son after the man who destroyed her home planet? In that case perhaps Han's mother really is called Jaina. --Azizlight 05:37, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- They named him Anakin, not Vader. The name Anakin to them represented the good side of him, while the evil was Vader. They named their son for who his grandfather had been and for who he was at his death, not for the fallen twisted thing he was in between. By the way, Anakin came to Leia after his death, and she shunned him for a while. It took some time for her to accept Anakin as redeemed. – Aidje talk 05:41, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)

According to List of Tales stories with elements of continuity, the story referencing Jaina Sr. is entirely within canon (because it appears within another source), so how should the template be changed? Cull Tremayne 07:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC) didn't Princess Leia choose Jaina's name?
Disputed
I don't take issue with the canonicity of the Tale, since it appears to fit well enough within continuity. However, I refuse to accept at face value Han's assertion that his mother was named Jaina. I prefer to think this was part of the role he was playing, and have changed the article to reflect the ambiguity. Flame away.--Valin Kenobi 19:56, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Apparently Jaina has her own article in the CSWE, so there goes any doubts about her being canon. Charlii 17:29, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Not an alias
While I see no evidence to suggest this was in fact the name of Han's mother, the assertion in the Behind the Scenes section that he was using an alias at the time is incorrect. Hase Rux 22:43, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
