Considering he plays the role of the twisted youth and "bad guy", I'm curious about the character's story arc because Gosling, who turned the role down, has played very similar roles.

I know Jacen Solo is a hated character in the EU, but Pettyfer sounds tailor-made to play that role.
I'll admit, I'm emotionally tied to Jacen. I was young enough to read and enjoy the Young Jedi Knights stuff and loved his character from then on.
I think the rise/fall of Jacen Solo and his destruction by Jaina/Ben Skywalker could be a very impactful storyline for the new trilogy (they don't have to follow all of those details exactly, but I think that general story arc can be impactful).
