A) Her hair is dyed brown, and B) Fury described her as taking after Jacen more than Tenel Ka. In fact, her resemblance to Jacen is why Tenel Ka made sure to keep her away from the public eye.

Apparently no one remembers how in Millennium Falcon they told us how Allana DOES NOT DYE HER HAIR ANYMORE. And yes, the novel did make a point of this, because I remember jumping for joy because the whole "dye your hair to totally fool every single person ever into thinking you are someone else" trick rarely works as well in the real world as it seems to in fiction.

So Allana goes by her natural red now, which not only pleases me, but renders moot all the discussion saying, "Oh no one will ever figure it out because Han and Leia and Tenel Ka craftily have her dye her hair."

And I fail to see how people pointing out that Allana resembling Jacen more in terms of physical appearance will throw off people either.

Either way you look at it - people finding out that Allana is Tenel Ka's daughter OR people finding out Allana is Jacen's daughter - it is equally scandalous and incendiary for the Solos, and for Tenel Ka.

1. If people find out that Allana is Tenel Ka's daughter in the care of Han and Leia Solo this means people find out that Allana's death was faked; that the potential Hapan heir is being raised outside of the Consortium and by non-Hapans and also by Jedi; that the Hapan royal lineage is further being diluted and "tainted" and ruined by Jedi interference (and DNA, heh); and that Tenel Ka, the QUEEN MOTHER, had a baby with a man who is more or less a genocidal megalomaniac that tried to co-opt their fleets and stuff and is considered more or less a war criminal.

Its quite scandalous and sacriligeous not only to Hapans, but other people as well.

2. If people find out that Allana is Jacen's daughter then some of them will throw a hissy fit about how all he did was to protect her ("What makes that kid's life more important than the thousands of Corellians and Bothans who died in concentration camps? What makes her more worthy of living than all those people who were killed when the Jedi blowed up Centerpoint and stuff?") People aren't going to look at it the way a reader of this series would, and while a large chunk of people across the galaxy probably wouldn't give two hoots either way, if certain people found out Jacen had a daughter, they'd begin to ask a lot of questions about him, and the choices he made, and how these choices affected other people. People will also begin to ask questions about what happens when Jedi have children, and Jedi and attachments, and Sith Lords and attachments... Some people will also perhaps attempt to get at people like Han and Leia through their grand-daughter. It is one thing for some villain to look at Han and Leia and go, "Hhhhhmmmm... If I want to irrevocably hurt these people I will steal their adopted war orphaned daughter" and quite another to say, "Hhhhmmmm... If I want to irrevocably hurt these people I will steal their GRAND-DAUGHTER." I'm assuming you can all see that the levels of hurt differ in each case, as would the plans of the villain.

And I can see a certain wolf pack of Imperial Moffs who may wish to get at Jagged Fel by getting to Jaina Solo by doing something nasty with her (Jaina's) niece. And if Jaina and Jag ever get married then Allana would be Jag's niece too.

I think there's also the question of what people may do to Allana if they find out that she is not only Jacen's daughter, but FORCE-SENSITIVE.

It is one thing for the Solos to be caring for war orphan Amelia, who as far as the galaxy knows, is just some random Hapan (?) war refugee, but if one were to have the revelation that she is the GRAND-DAUGHTER of the Solos, then they would come to understand that not only is she Force-sensitive, but also harnessing the POWAH of the lineage of Anakin Skywalker.

Allana's hair was dyed black, throwing off her look resembling Tenel Ka. Furthermore, yes, a DNA test could be done but who would want it? News Reporters can demand it or some other character can, but that doesn't mean Han and Leia have to do it. They could easily get around that. The only way I can see them being forced to do one is if Daala orders it, though I doubt she would, at least right now with all that is going on.

Apart from randomly going through someone's hairbrush, or totally scoping out their home to try and find a hair, or an eyelash or shed skin or something, the only way you can really legally get someone's DNA is through a court order, and even then, you'd have to have a valid reason. Some random news journalist being all, "Well, I think that the adopted ward of the Solos is not who they claim her to be" doesn't really hold up in a court of law.

But having said that, I can see Daala getting on her high horse in terms of throwing lawsuits every which way which seems to be a hobby of hers and actually GETTING a valid reason to do this. Yes, she is that much of a beeeeyotch.

And I notice that almost always when discussing topics such as these people always refer to people cluing in on Allana's physical resemblance to either of her parents.

But what about her Force aura?

What happens when some random One Sith or something that somehow knew what Jacen felt like in the Force walks past Allana and gets hit with a sense of familiarity?

And on that note, just how does Allana Force-confuse all the other Jedi? We know she's had at least some education on Shedu Maad, and conceivably in the Coruscant Temple, but what I remain unclear on is if Han and Leia have gone around telling everyone that their "daughter" is Force-sensitive or not!?? And if NOT, then just how does Allana clamp down on her Force aura being surrounded by Jedi every day?

I'm thinking that Tenel Ka cooked up a decent cover story, and Han and Leia are no slouches in this department either, but it rankles me that as readers we have virtually no clue when we really should.
