Of course, bringing JJA into the mix begs the question of "what happened to Devan?". The guy seems nigh indestructable: in JJ2, not only does he get shot and buttstomped dozens of times when you fight him, but he gets crushed by a giant hunk of rock and still survives for the unreleased JJ3. One could theorize that whatever he did in Hell to get his Devil Devan form also gave him immortality or something close to it, but why didn't he do anything during JJA when Jazz was busy dealing with Dark Shell?

Despite what Game Titan says, I still think it's plausible for Dark to be Devan in a new persona. They look almost identical: take Dark out of his Darth Vader outfit and he'd look quite a bit like Devan. Also, according to JJA's cutscenes, Dark and Jazz have had run-ins in the past, which could be a reference to the Devan days. I suppose one could say that Devan died of old age, but he never struck me as being particularly old; not much older than Jazz, anyway. Sure, Jazz was planning on retiring in JJA, but he could still run and gun like before, and Jazz seems to me like the kind of guy who would keep going with the intergalactic soldier of fortune stuff not necessarily because he needs the money but because he likes what he does. And of course, he was a king at one point and probably had some cash left over from that. Then again, I don't give JJA as much credit as JJ1 or JJ2 due to the fact Game Titan seems to have tossed all of Epic's storyline into the memory hole, gave us a couple bits of vague info to link JJ2 and JJA and left it at that.
