Behind the scenes[]
Currently, Alexander Arcadia's father has yet to be revealed. In discussions about the novel Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One, however, author Brandon Rhea has suggested that Arcadia's father could be Logan Amator,[2] a supporting character in The Chosen One who forms a friendship with Queen Arcadia.[1] When discussing second characters in the novel, Rhea suggested that Amator will be "very important to [Queen Arcadia] now and in the future," and that "Alexander Arcadia...has to come from somewhere."[2]
