So Steven Tyler is apprenticed by a Space Pirate, and becomes total enemies with the nearly nude offspring of Aayla Secura and Darth Maul. Neat.

Here's DH's solicitaion for Legacy #0 :
Welcome to the beginning of a grand, new chapter in the Star Wars saga!

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.

It's a brave new galaxy for Star Wars fans, at once familiar and surprising—interplanetary intrigue and adventure on an epic scale; iconic heroes and villains cast in new roles and caught in surprising new situations. Everything you've loved about Star Wars, but nothing you expect!

This special 25˘ comic sets the stage for the launch of the new Star Wars: Legacy series, which begins in June!

• Continuing Dark Horse’s exciting relaunch of its Star Wars publishing line, celebrating the company’s twentieth anniversary.

Pub. Date: May 17, 2006
Format: Full color, 32 pages
Price: 25˘

Title: More news on "Legacy"!!!
Post by: Ghost of QG on April 8, 2006, 12:58 AM
From DH.com:

 
 
  Randy Stradley, Senior Editor
STAR WARS: LEGACY

Updated 4/7/2006

Some of you may have already tumbled to the fact that 2006 marks Dark Horse's twentieth anniversary. Many of you are, I'm sure, already cognizant of Star Wars' impending thirtieth anniversary next year. Here at Dark Horse, Jeremy Barlow, Dave Marshall, and I -- along with creators like John Ostrander, Jan Duursema, John Jackson Miller, Brian Ching, Rob Williams, Brandon Badeaux, and a host of others -- have been working on our twentieth/thirtieth anniversary plans for over a year now.

You've already seen Knights of the Old Republic, and a sneak peek at Rebellion (issue #1 is on sale just a few days from this writing!), and it's almost time for us to let our latest cat out of the bag: Legacy. Certainly the most controversial of our new looks at Star Wars, Legacy takes place one hundred years after the very latest thing you know about that galaxy far, far away, and speculation on the series has run the gamut from awed to angry. But you can just relax - I'm not about to reveal details about the series so close to the release of the special Legacy #0 issue, or the first of three (count 'em, three) articles about the series in Star Wars Insider. However, I will let you in on the behind-the-scenes story on the covers to the Legacy series.


(http://images.darkhorse.com/darkhorse/index_images/zones/starwars/legacy.jpg)


Artist Adam Hughes and I went to meet the cast of Legacy to capture in-character shots of them for the covers, and to ask them about their roles in this galaxy-spanning drama. Finding time to get groups of characters together between all of the action that writer John Ostrander and co-plotter and artist Jan Duursema are putting them through wasn't easy, but Hughes managed to obtain the shots he wanted, two of which you see here. When I left him, he was working on a third cover, but having some difficulty getting two of the characters to pose to his requests. "Do they think they're royalty or something?" I heard Hughes mutter as I departed to interview some of his previous subjects.

I caught up with the cast, mostly unknowns, at various points on and between Coruscant, Socorro, and Lok. The Sith were, perhaps understandably, reticent about their parts in the story. "Get away from me, freak, or I'll slice you in quarters," hissed Darth Talon.

"We should have warned you about the Sith," laughed Cade Skywalker, easing back into his seat in the corner booth in Rik's Cantina and casually slipping an arm around the shoulders of Deliah Blue. "Not all of us are as stand-offish as they are. Right, Deliah?"

"I liked you better when you were 'brooding,'" said Blue, ducking Skywalker's arm and slipping gracefully out of the booth, leaving an unmistakable pheromone message in her wake.

My interview was cut short when an altercation between Skywalker's friend Jeriah and Rik's bartender threatened to turn violent. But even as I beat a hasty retreat, I'd seen enough to know that the characters were taking to their roles as though born to them.

Look for Legacy #0 in May! Only 25˘ wherever fine comics are sold!

- Randy Stradley

I initially thought I'd just be sticking to the Star Wars: Rebellion comic for my SW comic interest, since I'm more into the OT, but while at the comic shop yesterday I decided to pick up the 25 cent special for Legacy.  It is basically a guide to some of the characters, worlds, and ships that will appear in the series - but it got me interested.  I think I might check out the first few issues and see what its like.
Title: Re: SW Legacy from Dark Horse Comics
Post by: Jeff on June 8, 2006, 03:54 PM
My LCBS threw the $0.25 issue in as a freebie for subscribers this week.

I wasn't too impressed with some of the stuff (like having a pile of Sith Lords and yet another Empire), but some of the other things seemed like cool ideas to play off of (the Jedi backing the Vong and causing another War).

I kinda feel the same as you Brian.  I think I'll end up picking up the first few issues to see where it goes...
Title: Re: SW Legacy from Dark Horse Comics
Post by: Darth_Ennis on June 9, 2006, 05:30 PM
I got my 25 cent issue yesterday. Its very intriguing. So far I like what ive read. The multiple sith lords are a nice idea I think. I am anxious to see how this plays out. Ive already got custom ideas for Cade, and Darth Talon. I like the fact that theyve taken the recent Vong invasion to the next logical step. It should be an interesting read in any event.

Post by: Darth_Ennis on June 26, 2006, 12:01 AM
I have been waiting for this to come out for months now. Issue #o as much of a tease as it was, only made me want it more.

I have to admit though, issue #1 was a lot of lead in, I didn;t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Make no mistake, I still enjoyed it. But I want to read a little more about the crew of the Mynok. I wish it would have been a double issue so we could have gotten to that story much quicker.

Since the Rebellion and Knights of the Old Rpublic just aren't as good as Republic and Empire I am really hoping this book does well.

What do you guys think?

Merged as requested.

I'm still not sure what to think about the Legacy thing... Particular parts of it just don't appeal to me at all... but hey - maybe it'll turn out better than expected.

Post by: I Am Sith on July 5, 2006, 04:35 PM
Just got done reading issues #0 and #1.  I definitely like where this is going.  Can't wait for the next installment.

On a related note, this is my first real entry into the events of the New Jedi Order.  Any suggested reading I should check out to get me up to speed on where they are at?  Or I guess better stated, where they have come from?  ???

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Just got Legacy #0 in the mail from SciFiGenre. It's cool seeing all the new Imperials, Sith, Ships, Locations, etc, sort of reminds me of the old "GI Joe Yearbook" comics that Marvel published that gave profiles of characters, weapons, and vehicles.

Post by: I Am Sith on July 12, 2006, 01:08 PM
Just picked up #2 today.  I could only flip through it before I had to get back to work, but Darth Talon has made her Legacy debut.  ;)  I'm very interested to see what's been going on for the last 7 years...
Title: Re: SW Legacy from Dark Horse Comics
Post by: I Am Sith on September 13, 2006, 01:15 PM
Just got Legacy #3 today during lunch.  My favorite part of this issue is when Luke makes a surprise appearance to talk to Cade.

A few more characters introduced and a few plots starting to hatch.  I just hope that they don't take another two months to release #4.  The wait for #3 was brutal.

yeah i've only read three njo books and i consider them the best ones, i know what happens in the rest and these three are the most eventful and best reads:

Vector Prime-Star by Star-The Unifying Force

as for after the njo, everything is cool:
Dark Nest Trilogy:the joiner king,the unseen queen,the swarm war.

Legacy of the Force: Betrayal,Bloodlines,etc....

Personally, I have my suspicions about Darth Krayt. I think he will end up being Jacen Solo myself.

If this turns out to be true, than reading the entirety of the NJO series would be good background material. The highlight would be Traitor.

 ::) Get over yourself.

As for Legacy and the earlier timelined books Legacy of the Force, I'm definitely starting to sense a connection. Jacen falling to the dark side is a plot line I didn't sense, though I usually stick to books that involve other characters I know a little more about. Having not read the Young Jedi Knights series I don't have a clue as to whether or not this is a reccuring aspect of Jacen, but as I recall, Jaina was the one who was falling to the darkside.

Anyway - Legacy's been an interesting series so far and I'm looking forward to getting into the thick of it like I did with Republic. Personally, I found it most interesting around #66, albeit a little late, but juicy nonetheless. Legacy's gotten a real kick in this issue though. You can see the big issues that are gonna get hit and really---who doesn't love SW Bounty Hunters?

On that note...WTF?! (http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/09/14/dog.bounty/index.html)

don't know about you guys but i'm skipping issue four, and really wish they'd make the issues abit longer. i haven't bought single issues since the late nineties and remember them being well worth the standard 2.50 back then. what gives?


if anything i gotta say the writers are trying way too hard with Cade and his bunch to be original, a drug addict/bounty hunter/scum bag whose supposed to turn into somebody we like?   mark renton (trainspotting) or Robert Downey JR. is this an attempt at creating new mythos? lol

You are right, I hit the comic shop for the first time in a long time today.  2.99 for less? Hey what's with that?

And look at the TPBs, you pay a full $1 more just for the convenience of buying it all at once.

especially the ppl behind me my sisters era, their a bunch of Cade's, my guys are bit more Solo/Fett, but the kids right now, christ.....i really fear the day their in charge of things.


essentially cade is like having robert downey Jr. play Iron Man..wait a second they are..lol

or the big lebowski turned into a starwars...lol that'd be kool....

I hardly think Star Wars: Legacy is meant to be a social commentary on how deranged the world is. Comic books can be deep sometimes, but all in all, they're comic books, not 19th century novels.

Just picked up #4 today.  I really like the story, but I'm getting impatient with the lack of continuity between the issues.  There have been 4 main issues now (not counting #0) and I think that there are at least 5-6 open ended story lines going on.  I guess I'm just too impatient right now, but I hope that they start tying in some of these stories sooner rather than later...

#4 is meant to be a stand alone comic....It was originally going to be released as #7, but got bumped up due to some delay in Dark Horse...notice the different artist and style.
Title: Re: SW Legacy from Dark Horse Comics
Post by: I Am Sith on October 17, 2006, 01:49 PM
Thanks.  I did notice the difference, but didn't make the connection that it might be a filler issue.  That makes more sense now.  I still wish the issues came more frequently though.  I guess that I'm going to have to fill my time between 'Legacy' issues by starting to read 'Dark Times' when it comes out.

Just picked up Legacy #5 this morning.  Very good issue!  Picks up at the end of #3.  I don't want to spoil the issue for anyone, so I'll just tease it a little.  Darth Talon has tracked down the Mynock...

In case anyone missed the first issue, when I went to go get 'Dark Times #1' today, they had copies of the second printing of Legacy #1 there as well.  Just thought some people might want to know.

i love this story, i like these designs, but its really starting to feel like there grasping at straws with each issue. their clone wars stuff was better than the prequels, but this legacy stuff is just really circling the drain for me. i don't know if its the possibilty that Krayt is a loser and Cade is a scumbag, but its really been taken down a few pegs for me.
Title: Re: SW Legacy from Dark Horse Comics
Post by: Brian on January 11, 2007, 11:15 AM
I picked up Legacy #7 yesterday, and I have to say that I'm really enjoying this series.  I haven't been able to grasp on to a lot of Star Wars EU in the past - particularly stuff that didn't involve characters I knew from the movies - but this series has been different so far.  A lot of stuff in the past didn't seem "Star Wars" to me, but this series - so far - does.  The first arc is wrapped up, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this is headed next.

Post by: Milan on January 30, 2007, 12:16 AM
The Legacy comic is my favorite, I just love how Cade turned out after seeing his father, friends and mentor being struck down, He didn't become an avenger or some fanatic "save the world" do good'er after the trauma,
Instead he became a thug, a bountyhunter struggling with the memories from the past. Thats realistic to me.

And you probably hate me for this ;),
But how did Luke react on seeing his foster parents killed,
did he have any nightmares over their burnt corpses?,
I don't remember that he had, or that it left any scars.
he took it rather well...
...and that's not real to me.

p.s I got some Legacy customs up in the customs section d.s

also ordered it,

i also got issue 9 yesterday, must say i was impressed with how the scantly clad female didn't take over the entire issue. one thing I'm really getting tired of is the commercials taking up half the issue. getting outta control, i mean if we haft to pay for a book of ads why not give us some old school order ads as well. i mean this is starwars, its not like there isn't enough stuff they could be pimping through direct sales.
