When I received the ARC for Star Wars: Legacy, Volume 3, I have to admit I knew next to nothing about this comic series, but I didn’t really worry about picking up the story because it was Star Wars and it was a graphic novel, which meant it would follow a familiar old pattern of Sith vs. Jedi.
Boy, was I wrong!
As I slowly began to consume “Legacy,” I discovered that it was a deeply complex novel, filled with new and thought provoking ideas that was not at all like the other Star Wars novels I had partaken of. 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.
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
...the "Star Wars: Legacy" saga reaches its epic finale!
"Control of the galaxy is at a tipping point." Cade Skywalker, descendant of the legendary Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, has returned to his life of piracy, after bringing about the fall of Darth Krayt, Lord of the One Sith and dark Emperor of the galaxy. Krayt's apparent death at the hand of Skywalker has sent shockwaves throughout the stars with opposing forces, including the Jedi Order and members of the deposed Imperial government, all planning on filling the vacuum left by the seeming demise of the Sith Master. But all is not as it seems.
While Cade continues to struggle through his past legacy, his present life and his future destiny, the Will of the Force drives him reluctantly back into events that decide the fate of the galaxy. The One Sith conspire to maintain their genocidal rule of the Galactic Empire, while behind the scenes betrayal and subtefuge undermine their grip on the galaxy. War comes to wreak havok on the fractured civilization and this grand story of "the Future of Star Wars," envisioned by writer John Ostrander and artist Jan Duursema, comes to a galaxy-changing climax.
