Unless you are completely divorced from the internet and any and all news sources, you know that at the end of the year Dark Horse will lose the license for any and all new Star Wars fiction/non-fiction. That’s because the new owners of the license, Disney, are moving the production of all such material to their own publisher, Marvel Comics. And I find that to be a very saddening move because Dark Horse has given so many incredible tales over the years and I just can’t see the same being done at Marvel. Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman’s Star Wars: Legacy II is one of the finest examples of that.Set in galaxy almost a century and a half after the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, this new timeline tells the story of Ania Solo, the distant descendant of Leia and Han as she and her friends make their way in a galaxy very different from the one we know so well. Like any great classic Star Wars story, their first arc Prisoners of the Floating World, involves reluctant heroes, Sith, political drama, high-speed chases, great twists and more.
And it helps that the art is so damn cinematic and fun.The story starts, as all such stories do, with the setup. The new Galactic government, a triumvirate of the Jedi Council, the Imperial Court and the Galactic Alliance, is doing all it can to bring people back into the fold. In the Outer Rim, somewhere around the Surd Nebula, a shuttle carrying a Jedi Master and a unit of Galactic Triumvirate troops is attacked by an unknown enemy, an enemy which does not reveal itself until later as a Sith Master. Master Val is forced to fight for his life but he is defeated and a Sith takes his place as the Triumvirate’s representative to the Carreras system, where a new communications array is being built. And on the other side of the story, we have Ania Solo herself and her Mon Calamari friend Sauk, who run into a damaged comm droid from Master Val’s ship and the droid’s cargo: Val’s lightsaber.
This sets the two of them on an adventure throughout the Carreras system as they race to make sense of what is going on with the communications array and what a false Jedi is doing in the system. The Triumvirate also sends in another Jedi, someone known to Val, to see why he has disappeared and why there hasn’t been any communication from him.All of this means that the story here is gripping and it is entertaining. Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman have written a hell of a story here, weaving together several different elements to tell a greater whole and to introduce readers to the new galaxy that Legacy II Book 1 is set in. The two writers ease the reader into the characters and the situation as it is in the present, and then they tell a grand adventure involving all sorts of people.
DescriptionSet approximately 137 years after the Battle of Yavin. This series features a new Skywalker, Cade Skywalker. He has forsaken the Jedi Order to live among pirates. He does not differentiate between the light and dark side of the Force.Other events are also taking place.
A new Sith Order has emerged under the leadership of a Darth Krayt. The order has overthrown the Jedi and the Empire, establishing itself as the dominant ruler.After the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Order became the agent of peace in the galaxy. The Remnant Empire made peace with the new Republic. But the peace was shattered with the invasion of the extra-galactic species: Yuuzhan Vong. The Republic fell, but was replaced by The Galactic Alliance, which allied itself with the Imperial Remnant and others to fight off the Yuuzhan Vong.Peace was restored, and the Imperial Remnant once more proclaimed itself as the new Empire, but this time with a more benign Emperor on the throne. He was Roan Fel.Meanwhile, a new Sith Order was secretly forming on the planet Korriban, infusing themselves with the dark knowledge found in the ancient Sith temples there, honing a plan to retake the galaxy.
All that remained in their way was the Jedi, especially the one named Skywalker.Issue Name.

Indeed, all I could think as I slowly savored this tale was that co-creators John Ostrander and Jan Duursema had caught lightning in a bottle with Legacy, penning a galaxy spanning adventure story that was well worthy of the 'Star Wars' moniker and had come tantalizingly close to recapturing the magic of the original Star Wars trilogy.The story itself revolves around Cade Skywalker, who lives with his own set of demons and is happy to ignore his Jedi upbringing as he drifts from bounty hunting to pirating to death sticks to general philandering.
But this epic doesn’t confine itself to just our fast talking, self-loathing, dreds/goatee wearing, dark side wielding Skywalker but is populated with a galaxy spanning cast from Sith controlled Coruscant to the overthrown Emperor in exile on Bastion to the hidden Jedi temple. Every character - both minor and major - are in constant motion, living out their flawed and complex lives to the tune of Ostrander’s intricate melody, as he weaves an engrossing space opera that is not confined to one planet but spans the whole galaxy. Fleets fight battles. Sith and Jedi clash. Political machinations abound from the Sith sanctums to the Imperial throne rooms. Good characters become flawed. Evil characters show humanity.
And one can almost here the famous Star Wars music playing within your mind as you partake of it all.As for the art that propels this grand story along, I found it to be excellent, exhibiting the dark, moody and bold evolution of Star Wars as presented by the Legacy era and filled with pages of athletic and exotic men and women of different species, who were not only pleasing to the senses but also stylistically different and realistic. However, in all honesty, I am a bit biased on this point, because I have been a fan of Jan Duursema's style ever since I discovered her work on Arion: Lord of Atlantis when I was a know-it-all teenager in the 1980s. Yet even when Duursema was away and other artists penned small parts of this graphic novel’s contents, I still felt those section were well done and never caused any disruption in my enjoyment. And though there are many “cheesecake” and “beefcake” moments in the novel, it never caused me any more concern than watching a movie or television show where everyone is athletic and attractive.All in all, this is one of the great 'Expanded Universe' Star Wars tales. Legacy is quite simply an exciting, complex story that mixes compelling characters with new ideas and succeeds in creating a truly original 'Star Wars' saga. Co-creators Ostrander and Duursema have gifted Star Wars’ fans with a galaxy spanning adventure that not only progresses to an epic confrontation of Jedi and Sith but also to other individual climaxes of minor and major characters; each one just as important to the reader as that of our resident Skywalker.This one is highly recommended to Star Wars fans!I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I’d like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to receive this review copy and inform everyone that the review you have read is my opinion alone. This has got to be the best Star Wars comic series ever published. I haven't read everything, and haven't had a chance to get into the new Marvel 'official canon' stuff, but I've read a ton of the Dark Horse era, and this is just hands down the best. It's the only one that seems to embrace the spirit of the original trilogy.

I haven't read everything, and haven't had a chance to get into the new Marvel 'official canon' stuff, but I've read a ton of the Dark Horse era, and this is just hands down the best. It's the only one that seems to embrace the spirit of the original trilogy. Rather than getting overly bogged down in weird Jedi and alien names, storylines that focus on the peculiarity of a given planet or species, fascination with something being an 'ancient version' of something else, or other wastes of time perpetrated by the old Expanded Universe, Legacy is all about exploring its characters and the high stakes scenarios they find themselves in.
It's also refreshing for these scenarios to not always be about some giant thing that's going to destroy the whole galaxy. Sure, there's a little of that (this is Star Wars), but it also focuses on smaller, human dramas, and that in and of itself is different for Star Wars.Now, Legacy has its issues. Ostrander's dialogue is a little flat at times, and I can't tell you how tired I am of hearing alien languages that sound like just slightly-differentiated versions of English. It sounds pretty 'stoopa' to be honest. The final battle of this series also plays out far too quickly and wraps up before it really feels like its built to a climax.But Legacy is more about the long game anyway, and it plays that game extremely well. I was very happy to see Ostrander continue to explore a kind of grey area of the Force, where Cade Skywalker seems to dwell.
He's able to straddle the line between Dark and Light in a way that seems much more modern and, uh, 'truthful' (for a space wizard). Everything in our galaxy can't be measured strictly in Light and Dark, so why should it be in the Star Wars galaxy? The fact that Cade doesn't ever really outright join the Jedi is a refreshing change of pace for a universe that's dwelt solely in manichean principles for its entire existence.So, even though Legacy isn't technically canon anymore since the Disney/Marvel buyout, I'd still very much recommend this to Star Wars fans. Hell, it's set so far after Return of the Jedi that it barely affects anything The Force Awakens is doing anyway.
Just give it a shot. Anyone who is a Wars fan should read this even if it doesn't exactly follow canon.
This trilogy of Books 1-3 is an amazing journey of a decendent of the Skywalker's, Cade. A powerful story of Sith vs Jedi, mixed heavily with factions of governments vying for control of the Empire.

I loved this series, and reading all three books made it feel like I was enjoying a 'new' element to the War, while still maintaining the feel of the stories upon which it's built. Great great reading!!!! Star Wars Legacy Book 3!!!
Cade Skywalker’s journey through the galaxy is concluded here. After everything that happened, he figured out that staying out of the game was not working, so he went “Fuck it! I’m hunting Siths!” An alliance was formed between the Roan Fel loyalist empire, Stazi’s rebels, and what remains of the Jedi. Relationships were formed and destroyed as our characters rearrange their loyalties for the last war. Darth Krayt was revealed to be alive (as with other death cases in Star Wars Legacy Book 3!!!

Relationships were formed and destroyed as our characters rearrange their loyalties for the last war. Darth Krayt was revealed to be alive (as with other death cases in comics) and comes back with a vengeance. If you thought Order 66 was bad, Krayt ordered the massacre of planets, even some of his own people. Admiral Stazi’s space encounters are truly quite something to see, due to masterful tactics and the tricks up his sleeves. Roan Fel and his Imperial Knights finally shows some bravado, and follow their personal pursuits showing what sets them apart from the Jedi and the Sith (are they the fabled Greys?).
The Jedi, after much meditation and counseling, finally showed some initiative and started to trust Cade (well, a little bit). Lastly, our hero Cade finally decided where he stands between light or dark side. If you liked the Jedi versus Sith conflict from the movies, then this is definitely something more. Internal conflicts erupt in both sides, which keep you on your toes to see who ends up on which side. Every plotline opened during the first 2 books, are masterfully tied up or closed in this one. It is truly a great ending to this series.
John Ostrander and Jan Duursema really did a great job here, and make me want to search out for their other works, hopefully within the Star Wars Universe.You do know that this was supposed to be the future of the movie storylines, before Episode 7 came out? Abrams’ Ep.7 was great, but I think this would also make for a good movie. Like I said in my Vol.
1 review, I'm not a big fan of how this series treats the Force & technology. It all seems like whatever the hell they need to do 'the next thing' is just there, the stakes are too high & the solutions too convenient, & I can't get attached to anyone or anything. It seemed exciting at first - a lot of potential - but I really had to drag myself through the last two volumes. They definitely had their moments. But ultimately, Cade's just a dirty annoying son Like I said in my Vol.

But ultimately, Cade's just a dirty annoying son of a bitch, the villains are completely unlikable, & for that fact, so is every single person in the story. Except maybe Bantha. & that's only because I feel like I'm a soppy old man, too.
The ending was alright. & I mean the very ending - otherwise, a lot of the resolutions seem to come too suddenly & mean little. Plus I feel like the whole thing goes in circles, it's one thing after another & I just couldn't care.

The story was a bit difficult to follow as a result and I do recommend reading the first two books before tackling this book. What impressed me right off the bat is how complex and deep the story is written.
Typically, graphic novels water down the story to keep it in graphical form but this really reads like a novel. Though we get several POVs, the connection to the story center, Cade Skywalker, is still real and present and doesn't get lost. As well, we have a whole host of aliens inhabiting the universe (though I wish most didn't speak galactic and had grunts or such).The worldverse is also very large - another strong positive to the series. It doesn't just take place on one remote planet - events spanning the entire empire have interesting effects on even the smallest of planet cities. That kind of mastery of a large story is impressive and a pleasure to read.
As well, the characters are flawed and full of complexity that one doesn't typically find in a graphic novel. No one is wholly good and often circumstance rather than volition determines good deeds, especially with the Cade character.But here are the frustrating problems: As complex as the characters are, I didn't invest in any of them because I didn't like any of them (Cade isn't really an anti-hero, he's just annoying). As solid as the illustrations are, they don't work for a Star Wars book because ALL the men are built like Superman and all the women look like they are rejected characters from X-Men.
And as diverse and complex as the plot is, I just didn't care whether the empire won or not.For me, the biggest turn off were the characters - both design and personality. I appreciate that the author(s) gave Cade and his cohorts unique slang (e.g., cheekas are girls and yum yums are prostitutes) but the words ended up making the characters feel even more pathetic, shallow, and unlikeable.
I suppose the author wanted to make them feel like surfers running from responsibility, but I've seen the movie Point Break and didn't really invest in those characters either. And well, do we need surfers in the Star Wars universe (don't get me started about the swimsuit scenes on a tropical planet)? I didn't like any of the characters' personalities (overly flawed and simplistic heroes vs greedy one dimensional villains). What was needed was a grounded character or two for the heroes and a more deliciously evil villain - someone we can root for even as they win or lose.And I can't for the life of me recall even one Star Wars character that was a beefy body builder. Yet ALL of the human male characters in this book are drawn like Dolph Lundgren.
Imperials, surfers, etc. But then add in dredlocks, scruffy blonde hair, shaggy goatees, and yeah, it doesn't feel Star Wars at all. Imagine Han Solo with bleach blonde shaggy dreds, half day goatee/beard, asking for a smoocha from a yum yum and in a tropical type of bathing suit - and you get the idea.The women, also, wear the silliest comic book heroine costumes. Always tight, midrift baring, with over the top curvy bodies and far, far, too much overtly sexual posing.
Around page 15 there is a full page pose that is so egregious (woman pushing out her chest while sticking her butt out) as to make me cringe. I really hated the character designs and had a hard time taking this story seriously as a result.There is something really good in here and what you get for your money in terms of a LOT of complex story is excellent.
The pieces with Luke Skywalker were especially welcome because it brought the book back firmly into the Star Wars universe. But it needed a neutral voice, an editor such, to stop and wrangle both the the writer and the illustrator and bring them firmly back into the Star Wars canon. Perhaps as a non Star Wars universe novel, this would have been an excellent story.I've rarely read such a contradictory book - both brilliant and horrible at the same time. I'm going to rank it at 3 stars, though really this is a 2.5 star book for me.Received as an ARC from the publisher.

He travels around in his own ship, The Mynock, with a couple faithful companions, Syn and Blue.
Syn's speech manner kind of bugged me because it seemed reminiscent of Jar Jar Binks, but he grew on me. And that's the first 20 pages. I won't recap the whole thing here, I promise.Cade has had a run in with a Sith named Darth Krayt. Krayt tries turning Cade to the dark side.
Cade really wants part of neither the dark or light side. Eventually, he's pushed to the point where he decides all Sith must die. At this point the book turns into a big sprawling epic with lots of dialogue.It's very exposition heavy, even in the battle scenes. I kind of wanted the characters to stop talking and fight, but there is a lot of story to tell here. Art is good, but suffers from comic book type art.
All men are handsome, even if they have scars. All women are beautiful and wear clothing that exposes their midriffs. I don't know why it bothers me more in Star Wars comics. Maybe it's the other aliens that are offsetting it or something.
The art is really good, the story is very epic and I thought it was okay.I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel. (I received a free copy of this book from Diamond BookDistributors, through NetGalley, in exchange for a review).(This review may contain spoilers).Star Wars has always been one of my favourite things, ever since I can remember. I don't know when I first watched the original trilogy, but I have all sorts of memories of watching and re-watching it.

It was really interesting to see a future Skywalker, though I'm not sure I could say Cade is a really likable character.The artwork was good, but I felt that, in some places, it was a bit too strong in the drawings. I felt that the female characters had fairly masculine looks about them.In a way, I also felt that this mirrored the original series quite a lot. The whole Dark Side and Light Side thing has kind of become more guidelines than hard and fast rules, though. Characters seem able to toe the line between them - and it also seems very black and white, with no grey areas. (If you kill someone with Force Choke or with a lightsabre, it doesn't matter how you did it. They're still dead).Cade was still an interesting character and I did like his relationships with the other characters. I did also like the ending of this book.
It was an entertaining read, though I did have to squint a bit to read some of the speech marks.Although this was the third book, I did find it fairly easy to understand. I think I'd definitely check out other comics/graphic novels set in the Star Wars universe in the future. I really liked seeing the glimpses of Luke in this book, too. While still good, this third volume of Legacy felt somewhat weaker than its predecessors to me. A renewed focus on Cade was a negative for me since I never liked him, and the I eventually started missing Krayt in the middle sections of the volume. His eventual return is enjoyable enough but I expected more, especially from his ultimate fate. A lot of other good characters also could've gotten something more epic at the end (Stazi comes to mind in particular).

Some characters don't do very much at all at the end, come to think of it (Gunner Yage and Moff Yage, for example).I also thought Ostrander started to get very carried away with overuse of Huttese all the time, but that's a small problem. In the end, though, it was still a good ending to a great series, and it did feel satisfying.
Having finished it, I'd say Legacy was one of the high points of the Expanded Universe. A decent end to a good series.

It does a good job of ending all the plot lines for all the characters and I felt there was good resolution for everything, while still leaving the universe open for future use.I would say if this series had a weak point it was the art. It was art that was good at times and decent all others, but it had this kind of wonky edge to it. Like there are many, MANY panels that if you look to closely at the faces they look particularly off or just bad. But if you are read A decent end to a good series.

Like there are many, MANY panels that if you look to closely at the faces they look particularly off or just bad. But if you are reading at a steady pace it's something that is hard to notice.Beyond the great story the book it's self is a beauty to hold. The paper and binding is high quality and it's oh so nice having so much content all in one place.
The many plot lines developed in Book two are mostly wrapped up by this concluding volume, which was definitely welcome. But the problem of too many plots continued to plague this collection, as well. To wrap up everything that was happening, the story often had to be told in short bursts, sometimes only a single page with a few panels to show a momentous decision being made or an important action taking place. The focus largely returned to Cade, though, and that was a relief.

His first published works were stories about the character 'Sargon, Mistress of War', who appeared the First Comics series Warp!, based on a series of plays by that same Chicago theatre company. He is co-creator of the character Grimjack with Timothy Truman, who originally appeared in a back up story in the First Comics title, Starslayer, before going on to appear in his own book, again published by First Comics in the mid 1980s. First Comics ceased publication in 1991, by which time Ostrander was already doing work for other comics companies (his first scripts for DC Comics were published in 1986).Prior to his career in comic books, Ostrander studied theology with the intent of becoming a Catholic priest, but now describes himself as an agnostic. His in-depth explorations of morality were later used in his work writing The Spectre, a DC Comics series about the manifestation of the wrath of God.
His focus on the character's human aspect, a dead police detective from the 1930s named Jim Corrigan, and his exploration of moral and theological themes brought new life to a character often thought of as impossible to write. He has also worked on Firestorm, Justice League, Martian Manhunter, Manhunter, Suicide Squad, and Wasteland for DC.
