Do you like Star Wars? Do you like Limp Bizkit? Do you feel like the deathstick line in AOTC was a good enough start to kick off a whole new setting? Have I got some poo poo for you.  Star Wars Legacy is set multiple generations after the OT. The main character is Cade Skywalker, the dude with the bottle blond hair and the tribal tattoos. He's the distant descendent of Luke Skywalker, who appears to him in visions that he staves off with his addiction to deathsticks, which deaden his connection to the Force. Yeah, it's the most 2006 poo poo ever. There's some other ideas, like I kinda like this dumbass comic but it's also fun to make fun of.

Darth Spikeydude usurps the Imperial throne - remember that the Imperials are kinda morally grey - but only kills a body double. The Emperor, Roan Fel, escapes with his life, and sets up a government in exile with the Moffs loyal to him.  He (and his daughter, more on her later) escape with the help of the Imperial Knights, a Third Way of the Force order of red-armored Force-using knights with silver lightsabers.  Also, this is the most 2006 poo poo that ever 2006ed.  Oh did I not mention? In the prologue, Cade - then a Jedi padawan, which is I guess what they're calling their apprentices again in the far future because the prequels came out recently-ish - revived his master with healing Force Lightning, a terrifying power that he should not have. A power Darth Krayt covets.

Oh and yes, Cade has a sawed-off blaster shotgun. Cease to Hope fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Feb 29, 2020 |

Something that had to be really important in the pitch meeting for this comic was "legacies", in case you missed the title or something. So half the characters are named after someone else from another Star Wars thing. It isn't just that Cade Durst there is directly descended from Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade, and the Emperor is descended from some goofy Stackpole OC, but a bunch of characters turn out to be related to other recognizable Star Wars characters. For example, Astraal and Shado Vao, an almost-immediately-forgotten handmaiden and a Spock-like Jedi, are both Twileks (the stripper aliens with the head tails), so they're of course descended from the only Twilek with a name anyone remembers: Mission Vao, from Knights of the Old Republic. (Apparently the name Vao survives, but nobody remembers what rakghouls are.) This naming thing only lasts a few issues, because for one, it's a dumb distraction, and for another, it makes the entire galaxy far far away feel impossibly tiny, the same way connecting everyone to everyone in the prequels and sequels did. It was so important to the pitch, in fact, that it's the main new rule set introduced in the accompanying Star Wars Legacy sourcebook for the Star Wars SAGA tabletop RPG. Who doesn't want to make an RPG character who is continuing the proud history of being the star fighter pilot who appears two times without dying?

IMO the whole "nebulously good/evil Empire" thing was kind of dumb, but I do appreciate the effort to make things a little more than just "Jedi vs. Sith, but it's the future instead of the past" e: IIRC some of the EU stuff had the Imperial Remnant allying briefly with the Republic against a rogue Imperial faction (Admiral Daala maybe? It's been a while). I definitely remember Pellaeon leading the Remnant and being like "ok we're all loving sick of fighting" and working towards a truce.

Squizzle posted:wookieepedia needs articles like these for all of the times some idiot has tried to make noble imperials: I don't think Pellaeon was a Rommel figure I think he was literally just an admiral in the Imperial Remnant who realized the war was long-lost and was sick of fighting? e: wookiepedia posted:Upon Daala's defeat at Yavin 4, she turned command of the Remnant over to Admiral Pellaeon, making him Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet. He rebuilt the fleet and fought a series of campaigns against the New Republic, but was frequently driven back as the Remnant's resources shriveled. In 19 ABY, He finally accepted that the only way for the Empire to survive was through a peace treaty, and forced the Council of Moffs to accept a truce with the New Republic. When the Imperial capital fell to the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong invaders years later, Pellaeon played on the Imperial fleet's absolute loyalty to him to overcome the old-line Moffs' resistance and join the newly formed Galactic Alliance, leading a series of victories over the Yuuzhan Vong.

Squizzle posted:wookieepedia needs articles like these for all of the times some idiot has tried to make noble imperials: God yes. Star Wars fandom is lousy with space wehraboos. It's fine to like the fantasy space villains, but you have to remember that they're the villains, you know? Speaking of villains. Darth Krayt is ever Star Wars villain cliche wrapped up into one. Despite the fact that this is set like 150 years in the future and he's an ordinary human, he's a Clone Wars-era Jedi who escaped Order 66. He has a terrible malady that he has to concentrate almost all of his powers on to suppress, and it's the thing he's actually mad about. All that poo poo all over him that makes him look like a third-tier Spawn villain? About half of that is a horrible disease that's killing him.  This isn't a bad idea per se, but it's also basically every old EU story from Darth Vader's perspective. EU Darth Vader is incredibly powerful but has to direct almost all of that power into sustaining his own life, but also draws his power from anger over being maimed in the first place. That's also Darth Krayt's gimmick, because He's half-Tusken Raider by birth, and went to hide among them after the Empire took over. (He has a whole backstory with Obi-Wan and Anakin but it's thankfully mostly omitted from this comic.) At some point he goes on a vision quest or something and gets inducted into the Sith by one of the many Sith holocron-ghosts laying around the old EU, and decides he's going to form the One Sith. For some reason this involves exploring the far reaches of space, where he runs into the Yuuzhan Vong before anyone else does. He promptly gets himself captured and infected with Vong coral (which is spiky zombie cancer) and fully turned to the Dark Side by Vergere, another Sith who decided to explore the far reaches of space and got kidnapped by the Yuuzhan Vong. (Vergere is one of the recurring villains of the really quite terrible YV-era novels and comics.) You don't have to know all of this. Almost none of it comes up at all after Krayt's backstory gets told. There's no reason to know any of this other than to gratuitously tie this character to other ongoing Star Wars EU stuff at the time. Krayt decides (correctly) that all of the previous Sith were a bunch of idiots. His plan for the One Sith involves a whole Sith Order set up hierarchically, with him at the top, surrounded by his closest advisors, who in turn teach other Sith the hidden Sith arts of applying red bodypaint without covering up your tribal tattoos and swinging a lightsaber while scowling. He spends about a century on Korriban recruiting new Sith, going in and out of stasis (which is why he survives so long), learning to suppress his Vong coral infection that risks turning him into a spiky zombie, and making cameo appearances in other Star Wars stories.

I liked the initial pitch of this concept because it avoided the usual Star Wars sequel garbage of treading water with OT heroes and dull status quo but its really scared to do any like actual storytelling instead if just mixing things you know together and vaguely remember going oh thats neat. I remember it still somehow being less embarassing than the new films though
