Should Kyp be with Jaina...or should he be with someone else?
I had to really think on this….I think Kyp needs someone who is his equal. That means someone very strong emotionally, intelligent, confident, with a strong sense of who he/she was. That could be Jaina, but she keeps getting written like an adolescent although she is 31! I do agree that she was too young at 18 or 19 and they just weren’t in the same place at that time. My favorite Kyp thought from Allston: “He could make her happy.“ (RD, p. 278). Poor Kyp, she chooses Jag and Kyp is so tolerant of it...he saves the guy’s life and then has to go rest while Jaina and Jag probably had sex! Ahhh poor Kyp! His behavior during that time was so noble despite it being a fairly uncomfortable triangle.
Kyp sort of got stiffed from the get go. He was only a teen while at the Jedi Academy, but since the Academy had just started there wasn’t anyone else his age. Kyp was sort of shut out of the love loop by being too young and then later too old as a Jedi. There were no Jedi in his age range when he was younger for any silly academy crushes like Jaina shared with Zekk. So then Kyp probably would have turned to non-Force sensitives who would either like him for his “bad boy” reputation or be frightened to death by him. Either way, that’s not how to build a lasting relationship. And while in his 20’s Kyp would still probably be learning about himself and not as mature as needed for something lasting. So by the time he is ready to “settle down” in NJO, Jaina is at the stage he had just grown out of! So perhaps their ages are a factor. Now at 31 and 45, maybe not anymore. But I certainly don’t think he is a virgin or a goodie goodie. I am sure he gets what he needs! But I bet Kyp would love a “normal” life and a “legacy” of his own.
Does Kyp like men? Would Kessel have traumatized his sexuality? I won’t venture an opinion here. I just don’t know. Would men find him attractive? I’d say yes, especially when he was younger because I do picture him having a beautiful face and a hot body (not he-man muscled, but toned). So if Han can get slashed (never read any slash, but now I am curious) why not Kyp? I would think Kyp with either Luke or Jacen would make sense. Why? Because Luke was his “teacher” and they were both single during the JAT days. Jacen is just the homosexual version of the Jaina ship. I can see Kyp being his master etc…
Has anyone written J/J/K as a threesome based on that whole partners thing in the Allston books? That would be one lucky Jaina!
