In the Star Wars fandom, most if not all Star Wars legends fans, associate Jaci Twiss as Jaina Solo. Since Jaci and Tye Nelson introduced themselves to the fandom by landing major roles in two YouTube fanfilms called Star Wars Legends: Legacy of the Force – Fanfilm (film adaptation to the ‘Invincible’ novel of the Star Wars legends ‘Legacy of the Force’ series written by author Troy Denning), and The Distant Echo: A Star Wars Fanfilm (a fanfilm that does a crossover with Star Wars legends Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo, Kylo Ren, Jaina Solo, and Rey) both with views approximately over 89.3k. (Legacy of the Force has 1.3M views and Distant Echo has 88k.) Since the two fanfilms, both actors became fan favorites with non-stop fanart, tweets, blogs, videos, plus much more. In addition to this, they both received huge recognition at Comic Con winning awards for their commitment to the fanfilms. It’s truly wonderful and a great accomplishment but what about Rey?

As proven above, the fan engagement is incredible. Not just incredible, but very powerful. If used in a positive approach and the fans reveal exactly what they want, change is possible. Anything is possible.

However, Sci-Fi is not the only place where fans have the power to promote positive change. It can be anywhere and for this article, I tend to choose to remind Jaci’s fans of this power. I strongly believe that yes, Jaina Solo is the step in the right direction but so would be Rey. Rey is more recognizable to the mainstream media and the fact that Jaci stepped out of her comfort zone from Jaina Solo to Rey says alot. If we all step outside our comfort zone, it would help get Jaci recognized. Just like Aplus.com said, if we all step out of our comfort zones and contributed to Jaci Twiss our time and efforts, (even if that means through distribution of money legally), then we all have a bright future ahead of us.

How to engage in the world of Jaci Twiss
- Encourage people to be aware of roles Jaci has played in OTHER than Star Wars. For example, her characters Megan Hughes (Rescued), Sara Taylor (Turn Around), and even characters like Ethelinda (The Saxon Chronicles) is enough to convince many people as much as her role as Jaina Solo has convinced people. If you can’t encourage action (like what most go for <violence>), go for the sappy romance. Ship your favorite couples! Promote a strong female lead. There’s more to do than the above mentioned, but it’s certainly a start.
- Create more edits and artwork. You do not have to be professionally licensed to do so. Artwork and videos are known to bring awareness to the media and they are effective tools to tell businesses what you want. A little goes a long way.
- Engage through positive talk even if you disapprove. I speak from experience that major franchises are listening to their fans. Do the hashtags to say what, how, why, and all the questions by the book to convince people.
- Campaigns and promotions with money involved (legally of course) will bring attention to your cause. Your campaigns positively stating why they should look into it and will it be worth the money. Doing this as freely as possible is hard but not if both is done. Many good ones do both. I’ve witnessed even really good non-official fansites even help by resharing and distributing to their media. For this to happen, Jaci Twiss fans will need really good content so the Jaci Twiss Street Team is asking for fan support. Please distribute any Jaci Twiss media you find. My current campaign I will in my next blog explain more to it but to convince sponsors and dollar invested franchises, Jaci will have to have not just a strong audience, but the bigger businesses will need a strong/good reason to make Jaci’s dream come true. Fans do have the power to help so don’t be afraid to say anything. Don’t assume also nobody cares. Once again, a little goes a long way. Good luck.
