igyman Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Inspired by Prime's KoTOR comics discussion thread, I've decided to start one about the Legacy comics series. When I read the first two issues I wasn't very thrilled with the story, but after taking a look at the third and fourth issue and the preview for the upcoming fifth issue I have become intrigued. The story starts in a ''Conan the Barbarian'' style with more fight than talk in the first two issues, but then it takes a turn in the third issue and begins to show something more than senseless action. It may yet prove quite interesting. Here are the links to the official previews for the first five issues: Star Wars Legacy 1 Star Wars Legacy 2 Star Wars Legacy 3 Star Wars Legacy 4 Star Wars Legacy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Like most post-eu content, it doesnt interest me. Never been a big fan of the Sith returning in great numbers and all that because it pretty much ignores the fact that Luke brought order to the force and the galaxy should have entered a 1000 year era of peace and prosperity.

Negative Sun Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Looks kickass!!! I might get it when it comes out in TPB, I hate buying seperate issues cause I always end up missing one or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 While this thread's topic works for Ahto it would be better suited for the Expanded Universe forum. I might get it when it comes out in TPB, I hate buying seperate issues cause I always end up missing one or two...Same here. I'd rather not have to wait the required monthly intervals for new issues. I'd rather wait until the story is done and get the TPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I'm still waiting for the Trade Paperback before I pick up the Legacy comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Looks OK, I suppose. But I'll have to read up a lot about the backstory and all. I'm currently going through the Golden Age of the Sith and The Sith War. Doesn't c. 103 ABY mean that this story runs parallel to the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion? Which is where?

Ztalker Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Ehm...the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion is set 25 ABY (Wookipedia), and the Legacy-comics around 130 ABY. You're only a minor 100 years of, Sabretooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I've stick with it so far, and sometimes I think its great and others I think it is just so so. But I'm going to give it a while longer before deciding to drop it. I do feel that the era has huge potential, and I hope it lives up to it in the end. Some of the characters I like, and I think Darth Krayt appears to be different at this stage from standard evil villains. Kade is somewhat interesting at this point. Overall it is too early to really get a feel for the elements of most of the characters. But I'd say I'm currently enjoying the KOTOR series more right now... (And props to Herbs for sticking with the original post-EU intentions from the films!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Ehm...the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion is set 25 ABY (Wookipedia), and the Legacy-comics around 130 ABY. You're only a minor 100 years of, Sabretooth Wow, I always thought that the yuuzhan Vong ruled the galaxy for 50-100 years and were then overthrown, or something. Never really liked or read that part, though I liked the original concept of the Yuuzhan Vong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 read The Unifying Force. you'll like it for the main reason that the Vong finally pi$$ off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I read a quarter of Vector Prime before I realised I was committing a crime. I quit reading YV fiction since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I read a quarter of Vector Prime before I realised I was committing a crime. I quit reading YV fiction since. The Legacy comics focus more on the Sith than the Vong, actually. After advising people to read them, I should do that myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The Legacy comics focus more on the Sith than the Vong, actually. After advising people to read them, I should do that myself. No, actually I was referring to RC's post and the previous conversation about the YV invasion. Nothing about these news kids. So, whats the premise this time? Evil Sith out to conquer? One guy saves it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 No, actually I was referring to RC's post and the previous conversation about the YV invasion. Nothing about these news kids. Ah, I see. Carry on, then! So, whats the premise this time? Evil Sith out to conquer? One guy saves it? How did you know! Actually, the evil Sith have conquered the galaxy this time (well, Coruscant at least), but still face opposition. There's a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've read some of them too...just a short intreo for ya, Sabre: Some events might get mixed up, as I've only read several issues, not all. Heavy spoiler..yeah...heavy... Jedi are going strong...when Darth Krayt and his fellow henchman rise to kill them. Kray has studied many Sith holocrons, including some of Darth Bane and Darth Nihilus, about obtaining immortality and unlimited power. He first overthrows the Empire, and the Imperial Knights. (The Empire and Republic live relatively peacefully together at that moment. The Empire even has it's own Jedi, the afformentioned Knights.) He then proclaims himself Emperor, and start killing Jedi, including Kol Skywalker. Only a few knights remain, who start searching for Cade Skywalker, and exiled Jedi who became a bounty hunter. The Skywalker family must be restored to bring peace again. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Just thought I should inform everyone interested that the fifth issue of the Legacy comics is coming out on November 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 I apologize in advance for double posting, but I wanted to say that the fifth issue of the Legacy comics was released a few days ago and although the story is again more action than talk, quite a few interesting story details were revealed, plus Darth Nihilus has a cameo at the beginning as a Force ghost (check the preview link in the first post here), where something is revealed about him as well, something I don't remember being mentioned in TSL.

Prime Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Nope it wasn't. He's a sneaky bastard. Good issue. The different threads are now starting to come together. I'm still hit or miss with the series, but this issue has me hanging on for a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Issue 6 is out, according to the Dark Horse web site, I haven't got it yet so I can't comment on it, but here's the link to the official preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Anyone know when the TPB is being released? I can't stand the flimsy paper thin comic parts. I want the whole thing all at once, and on better paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montnoir Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Why in all the nine hells did they name an issue "Noob"?!?!?! WHY? Why use a very, very modern popular word (whom no one will remember, much less use in two years tops) for a "timeless" sci-fi story? It's like reading an ancient greek tragedy and Medea (a character in a play that bears her name) saying "What's up doc?". I really wonder how something like this got approved and what the motivation behind it was. So annoyed right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
