One of the best parts about Star Wars Legacy is the complexity of the larger Star Wars universe.
But sometimes it gets a little too complex.
In this issue we get a one off story updating us on the status of the Galactic Alliance fleet which is now allied with Roan Fel’s Imperial Fleet.
They run into an engagement with Krayt’s imperials – and guess what?
The Imperials – Krayt or Fel’s all kinda look the same. Come to think of Stazi’s GA ships all look like Imperial star destroyers too (cause the y are)
We had to re-read several sections of this issue several times to try and keeps sides straight and figure out who was who (and on which side).
That’s kinda neat actually ..a little confusing but again it shows the complexity of the Legacy universe.
Missing from this issue are the Jedi – who apparently have no fleets of their own and are just bystanders in this whole movement of Armada’s business

After all he’s been through, Cade Skywalker is still scum.
He defeated Darth Krayt, was hailed as a savior of the Jedi Order and maybe even the Galactic Alliance itself but in the end Cade is a troubled man.
When we first met Cade way back in the first issue of this series he was hiding who he was and living out his life as a bounty hunter.
Then over the course of the last three years he has revealed who he really is, his friends have found out who he really is but none of that matters.
At the core of his being Cade Skywalker is bounty hunter scum.
In this issue he ends up starting a bar fight and nearly turns to the dark side to kill his cousin.
For what??
It’s his nature. Cade is no Jedi hero. He is a Skywalker but he is not the heir to the Luke Skywalker legacy.
That’s fine by us and what makes Legacy one of the best Star Wars storylines of all time.
It would have been easy for this series to be just about the transformation of Cade from bounty hunter to Jedi hero. But life is never that easy and neither is this series. It’s a complex series where heroes are villains and there are no clear answers.
At the end of this issue, Cade returns to the life he had where this series began. A disreputable scum bag on the run.

Star Wars Legacy is the best star wars comic series of all time – and it just keeps getting better.
After a little hiatus we’re back to the main plotline – where Darth Krayt is dead – or is he?
Somehow I think we will see him again.
Really cool to see Darthy Wyyrolok and his DAUGHTER Saarai.
Lord Stryfe – the dude on the cover – is clearly in for more panel time too and he’s one mean Sith.
And what about Azlyn Rae ? Going into a Vader type suit? Cade is going to go nuts!!!
Star Wars: Legacy #33 — Jaged Fel the First Galactic Alliance Emperor!! March 5, 2009

Awesome art again from Omar Francia. The AT-AT swimmer? come on that was kriffing incredible.
The plot as always was solid – here we are finishing this little story arc that began in issue 32.
Just when we think the Imperial Knight will go home to his emperor..he turns a bit to stay and defend the mon cal! what a great angle and a solid knight to boot.
More importantly we finally get the continuity link we’ve been waiting for the past three years for Roan Fel.
The first Emperor was Jagged Fel – yup i’d assume that’s the same Jagged Fel that was hooking up with Jania Solo. So Roan Fel is likely a Solo grandson!!!
How’s that for a twist!!

I had almost forgotten about Krayt’s order to exterminate the Mon cal in Legacy #22/ but here we are ..Mr. Ostrander never forgets does he…
Though this is Jan Duresema’s art (wasn’t last time the Mon Cal were center stage either)..Omar Francia has done one of the most awesome covers and his interior artwork is AMAZING.
SeaTroopers? wow!!! makes good sense but we’ve never seen that before ..
And what’s up with an Imperial Knight helping out the Mon Cal?
ooh and what about Sith Scientist Vul Isen ? The dude’s head is a skull! We’ve never seen Sith scientists before…and we’ve never see the Leviathan either..neat idea a force sucking sea beast…
Sure we didn’t have Krayt or Cade in this issue..but after Vector , i think they all deserve a rest. It’s not like the rest of us are suffering either…with a new awesome storyline here – Legacy continues to deliver THE BEST Star Wars stories available anywhere today.

Save 50% on Joker HC– Just $9.99

Darth Wyyrlok is one mean Sith dude.
We haven’t seen much of him to date but this issue changes that with an entire issue dedicated to him and what an issue it is!
Darth Wyyrlok proves he is more powerful than an Ancient Sith using the Force alone – awesome!!
We also learn of his unwavering loyalty towards Darth Krayt which no doubt will also play a role as the story progresses…Oh and hey Darth Talon (aka The Sith HOttie) isn’t dead and is coming back!!
All this and next issue Vector finally hits its stretch run finding it’s finale in the best Star Wars series ever created…should be a real rush.

Alrighty so the Jedi council didn’t authorize Cade to go kill Darth Krayt..boo hoo…
It doesn’t make much difference for our story does it?
Now we’ve got a Cade and his posse of well wishers and watcher joining him in his own crusade to take on Darth Krayt.
Still not a whole lot of good stuff on the Princess in this issue, she seems very remote and not nearly as personable as she was inside of the first ten issues….i wonder what happened..
It’s also been a while since we’ve seen the Galactic Alliance proper…so hopefull we’ll seen them soon too and end up with new super alliance with Fel, Cade and friends and the GA against Krayt.

Last time Cade saw the Princess Fel he was saving her from the Sith.
Now what — a year later he finally sees her again and there is no emotion at all. Seemed a bit odd.
Cade coming to the hidden Jedi Temple however is very cool great to see the Jedi still have an organized home of some sort and that maybe they’ll send out a hit squad to Kill Darth Krayt.
The issue with the Jedi that ‘killed’ Cade’s pal’s dad is going to be interesting to see how it plays out…
but the big thing of course is the coming three way alliance between Jedi, Imperial Knights and the Galactic Alliance against the Sith.
This series never disappoints and i’m wonderng how the big alliance will be impacted by Vector and the Muir Talisman when it hits them later this year.

Just when you thought Star Wars Legacy couldn’t get any better – or more complex – it does.
Uncle Nate Skywalker just added a whole new dimension.
Cade kinda/sort looks like Uncle Nate and it’s kinda cool to see that Cade isn’t the only Skywalker of the Legacy era to have gone the rough and tumble route. There was no indication whatsoever at the end of Legacy #23 that Nate was a Skywalker or Cade’s real uncle.
We finally find out a little more about why Cade didn’t know about his mother…and we get a little bit of insight into Cade’s upbringing…
Oh and a nifty new former ‘beau?’ from the Jedi Academy who is really an Imperial Knight. Wicked cool stuff.
It looks like we finally might see Cade come face to face with the Princess and (maybe Roan Fel too) after what seems like a 14 issues hiatus.

Cade Skywalker is back!
Roan Fel is Back!
And yes Legacy is still awesome.
Great to see Cade return to his bounty hunter friends — he is not a Jedi and he’s not a Sith. Cade Skywalker is the Han Solo of Skywalkers..he’s rough and he speaks Huttese.
Nice to see that Darth Talon isn’t dead yet either (she’s the hottest Sith ever) though that was just a one cell image with her in the bacta tank so it’ll take some time till we see her again.
Nice to see Roan Fel and his daughter — that’s a storyline that has been neglected for what…a year at this point?
So much going on in this series it’s hard to even begin to speculate what comes next but just seeing each of the pieces moving around is fun.
And last but not least, Jan Duursema the finest artist in the expanded Star Wars universe is back! hurray.

Kill all the Mon Cals? a bit extreme even for a Sith.
A real solid plot driving story for the wider (no Cade Skywalker) Star Wars Legacy story…and great to see the GA and Roan Fel’s empire perhaps link up to take on Krayt’s empire.
Art in his is ok, but not great by Legacy standards… I can hardly wait till Jan Duresema comes back.
for that matter i can hardly wait to see what’s going on with Roan Fel..or his daughter! How many issues has it been since we saw them last?
TOO MANY.
But soon…soon all will be revealed (or at least we hope it will).

When we first saw the ads in Dark Horse’s Star Wars Legacy for the new miniature figures…we were krifing stoked.
Then we went over to the vendors site to actually see what the figures look like…
ummm.. i dunno about you but that doesn’t look like Cade Skywalker. Since when does Cade have straight hair?
The Delilah Blue figure is even worse.
It (cause i refuse to call this trash a woman) looks like some kind of weird tranny..
I don’t know who approved this trash..but I really hope Lucas Licensing (and Dark Horse) put a stop to this travesty.

I like this Admiral Stazi and its too bad this is only a two issue story arc.
SOLID STUFF..good characters, good dialogue, good action.
The fact that Stazi has no Jedi with him is surprising..not sure why the Jedi and the GA wouldn’t be more closely aligned.
Then again perhaps we’ll see that in a future arc..when Cade joins the GA..wouldn’t that be sweet?
Anyways a solid mini-story within the awesome Legacy universe, it’s now time to see what else is going on…like where is Roan Fel???

After 6 plus issues of nothing by Cade Skywalker it’s great to see ‘the other side’ (or at least of them) in the massive universe that is Star Wars Legacy.
The Galactic Alliance (GA) or rather what’s left of it is still on the run … remember this isn’t just about Sith and Jedi
It’s not even about GA vs Empire..its wider…remember that we’ve got GA, Roan Fel’s Empire and then the Sith Empire ..and then the Jedi in between in various sections.
I don’t think i’ve ever seen the docking ring above the Mon Calamari homeworld which was awesome to see and the plot (as always) was fantastic.
Of course the Sith would want to finish off the GA, and what better way than a trap!

Wow. What an ending.
This is the story arc that we had been waiting for ever since Legacy first hit the stand and boy did it deliver.
Cade face to face with Darth Krayt (whose identity is finally revealed) as the last Skywalker decides whether or not he will follow Vader to the Dark side.
Finally his friends come to the rescue and for the first time in more than 6 issues, Cade is back on the Mynock.
WOW.
All this time though we have been missing out on the other goings on in the new Legacy universe…so while this story arc has been one of the most impressive Star Wars storylines of all time…we’re eager for a bit of a break..and see what everyone else is up too…

The last 17 issues of Legacy have been awesome and issue number 18 continues that tradition.
We finally learn of the link between Darth Krayt and Darth Caedus – the critical link that connects Star Wars Legacy with the New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force books.
It’s a fine link – essentially Vergere – the same Jedi creation that changed Jacen Solo did the same kind of thing to Hett/Darth Krayt while onboard a Vong Cruiser.
The Sith that are hiding out on Korriban in the time of Legacy of the Force (that Lumiya and Alema Rar knew) are the same as Krayt’s Sith…hurray! Anything else likely would not have made sense and would have messed up continuity and canon.
Beyond the end of Darth Krayt explaining how he came into being..we see the Vong’s Embrace of Pain (yup that sucker) but as opposed to Jacen Solo (and maybe Ben
Skywalker too?) it doesn’t mess up Cade…too much (yet).
Perhaps most importantly though…Cade sees a vision of his Dad – Kol Skywalker – and rejects the Sith – fighting his way out and killing (or so we think) the Sith hottie herself..Darth Talon (yeah her…the awesome Twi’lek that Cade hooks up with and the same that is on the cover of issue zero of Legacy.
Again the artwork is sheer brilliance and is the best of any current ongoing Star Wars series.
It will be VERY interesting to see what happens next as Cade’s MAMA and Cade’s ole bounty hunting pals help him out to escape the clutches of Krayt…
Oh and what about Roan Fel and his daughter?
Lots of stuff for us to get caught up on…and then of course there is Vector….man oh man…if Legacy was a weekly series i don’t think it would be enough!!
Is Darth Talon really dead? We’ll see…one thing is for sure, i don’t think she’ll easily be forgotten.

Star Wars Legacy of the Force Fury has a furious pace. From end to end the characters are engaged in battle, some larger than others.
This isn’t the best book in the series but it is in the top two. The conflict/civil war continues to be very confusing all around and this book doesn’t simplify the conflict much.
In terms of plot it ends a few plot lines : Centerpoint and Alema Rar. It also closes the loop on the secrecy of Allanna which is neat.
But the book is still space opera..with dozens of loose ends..which is of course why there are still more books to follow.
The double life of Caedus/Solo continues to be annoying…he’s the only one that knows he’s a ‘real’ Sith..and the real ‘Sith’ for some reason continue to remain in the shadows. I hope we’ll see more of the Korriban Sith sooner rather than later.
Overall 3.5 out of five stars for this latest book in the Star Wars Legacy saga.

add a comment
Star Wars Legacy #17 continues the string of unbroken AWESOME stories in this series.
Cade Skywalker now hooks up with the Sith – literally and figuratively. I never thought of the Sith as sexual creatures but there it is…certainly a first in Star Wars comics as far as I know.
The T’willek’s lekku (those long things coming from their heads) being used as a tool for seduction is also something i’ve never ’seen’ in a comic book. Has Cade actually turned to the Dark side? well….sure there is darkness in him..but somehow I think that the battle between light and dark is one that Cade will face his entire life (as did Quinlan Vos whom Cade’s exploits mimic in alot of ways).
The depth, complexity and richness of this series continues to grow and like most other fans..i can’t wait to get my hands on the next issue!
