Jaina Solo is a fictional character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, the eldest child of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo. She is also the elder twin of Jacen by five minutes and the sister of Anakin.
Even before she and her brother are born, their uncle Luke Skywalker can sense their strong presence in the Force and the two share an almost inseparable bond. Jaina is characterised as a brilliant pilot and mechanic with a fiery personality.
The characters of Jaina Solo and her twin brother Jacen were created by author Timothy Zahn for the novel The Last Command, which was published in 1994. The young twins played a small role in Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy, and a larger supporting role in Vonda McIntyre's The Crystal Star. It was not until the dawn of the Young Jedi Knights series in 1995 that Jaina Solo and her friends became major characters in their own right.
