My collection of possible foreshadowing in Betrayal

Here are strange foreshadowing quotes:

p.27: Han: “They say the force can have a profound effect on people who don’t want to believe the truth.” Luke replies: “No, they don’t”.

They were joking about Jaina, but think how that applies to Luke, his vision, and Jacen.

p.30 Han: “Next thing you know, we’ll have Jedi walking the government halls on Corellia and telling us what to do.”

Well, could Jacen defect to the Corellians ?

p. 34 Mara: “Do you have a favorite prosthetics manufacturer? I can preorder you one.” She is joking with Jacen regarding why all the “kids” have smart mouths and who they inherited them from.

Hmmmm…need I say more.

p. 117 Luke thinks: “Sometimes he bitterly regretted the oaths and traditions that bound the Jedi Order to the Galactic Alliance.”

First off, I am confused. When did the Jedi take an oath to the GA? Sure they feel tradition bound and duty bound to serve democracy, but an actual political entity? Wasn’t that the whole argument in the DNT? So does that mean that Luke, as grandmaster, has decided to tell the Jedi they must support the GA?

I put this in foreshadowing for two reasons. One, Luke “regrets” this…will he end up turning his back on the GA? Two, what do the other masters think of this? Do they agree with him?

p. 326 Lumiya states about Ben:

"He's not yet strong enough to face a Sith." Ben replies: "I'll just resist al temptation."

Will Ben grow older and face Jacen? I think so. Will he resist temptation? Most of the time, but he'll follow darkness before the dawn!
