Star Wars Legacy #2:

I just finished reading Star Wars Legacy and it is fun. Out of the new re-launch of Star Wars comics this one is the most intriguing of the bunch. While Knights of the Old Republic deals with the Jedi past and Rebellion is set between episode 4 and 5, Dark Times immediately after episode #3, this series happens 125 years after episode 6.

More than a hundred years have passed since the events in Return of the Jedi and the days of the New Jedi Order. There is a new evil gripping the galaxy, shattering a resurgent Empire and seeking to destroy the last of the Jedi. Even as their power is failing, the Jedi hold to one final hope: the last remaining heir to the Skywalker legacy who doesn’t want any part of the Jedi legacy.

The Star Wars geek in me loves the concept. The Imperials and the Sith are at war with each other. The New Jedi Order is on the run. The last Skywalker is a dirty bounty hunter. What is there not to love? Easily, this series is going to feel like an excellent episode of Joss Wheldon’s Firefly, which is a good thing. John Ostrander and Jan Duursema are the creators and I can give any more respect to them. I like the direction and I love the concept. Now go and read this comic. RATINGS: STORY- 9/10 ART- 8/10
