Star Wars Legacy which has often been reviewed here on ShowMeScifi is one of the best comic books today and likely the best Star Wars comic book series ever created.
Set far beyond any other Star Wars series -the only lineage connection we’ve had so far is Cade Skywalker – a descendant of Luke.
But what about other Star Wars family trees? Dark Horse Editor Randy Stradley recently tackled that topic in a letter to the editor q&a.
1. Are we going to learn what happened to the Solo family of this time?
There are no plans for an exploration of the Solo lineage for the forseeable future. We’re not in denial about them, it’s just that there isn’t a place for them in the story. Yet.
2. Any chance of running into any other descendents of of any other Star Wars Characters?
Oh yes my friend. Oh, yes.
4. How long are we going to have to wait until we learn who Darth Krayt is under the mask?
The answer will be revealed in issue 15.
Jacen Solo is set to become a to be named Sith in the upcoming Star Wars Legacy of the Force Sacrifice book .
My guess is that Darth Krayt is a descendant of Jacen Solo.
Anyone want to take that bet?
Show Me SciFi 
you do have a point their. I”ll admit marrasiah does look a hell of a lot like leia. and that their prsense might be a decendet of jaina solo herslf. but we must put an encount on this. Their are alot of force sensitive children being born to non force sensitve parents in the star wars galaxy. to answer your question on jacen, my opion is that he ends up doing the same thing to tenal ka that his grandfather the legendary anakin skywalker did to his wifey padme. Let the power of the dark side cloud his judgement and motives thus turning his back on Tenal ka and thus being the second tragedy to the skywalker family. I have feeling that unlike his grandfather jacen won’t be redeemed this time. I have feeling that anakin Solo (his younger brother) will return. and kill jacen if not single handley will fight jacen with the aid/help of ben Skywalker. i think anakin will take care of Allana since both her parents are dead and then marry tahiri veila and fufill the propehcy that was given to them before his death.
lady maladi also resemble leia alot. paint young leia red and thats malady.
in legacy 1 krayt berates her for failing as a father would a child.
is she allana?
help me out people,lets figure this out shall we.
well i guess i’ll try to figure it out. ok let’s remmeber this the legacy comic takes palce about 120 or 110 years after lgecay of the force. first of all thier is no way she could be allana. due to the desrpitons of what allna lookes like in tempset it’s pretty much a given that that’s not her. Let’s make this clear Krayt is not Jacen solo people, he created this order at the end of the yuuzhan Vong war in 30 ABY. This is when jacen is still a jedi knight and a decade before he even becomces a sith. right now i’m looking a pictues of both leia and lady maldai. they look completely diffrent. Even if you added the paint and the tatoo to leia to me they still look nothing alike. besides i have a feeling that allana tru identiy will be discovered by the jedi in the book series anywai in legacy,
yoda was 900 small species live shorter lives as a rule. the force kept him going.
luke was way more pwerful than yoda and seeing as how yoda taught him i bet yoda secretly passed on how to live much longer than normal beings.
the solos are probably just as stong as yoda. luke and now leai will go down as the most powerful.
ben may be stronger than luke. who knows.
any jedi can live for a long time but this family may be immortal as far as age goes. only lucas could answer that and if anyone goes to c4 please find a way to bring that up.
krayt will eventually go to see the ghost of yoda on dagobah. i bet its anakin. the fully alive anakin solo reborn. not a clone but jacens doing. jacen shall surpass palpatine and bring anakin into being not a clone folks.the real deal.
krayt is a sith and if he says he bagan his empire in 30aby, then he might really be saying someone else started it and he killed them and took over.
so you think that krayt is the reborn anakin solo if i’m not mistaken. well i personally disagree. the authors of the legacy of the force series have admitted that a ” well known character from the early books of the new jedi order will making a shocking return. keep in mind that the eigth book of the series is revaltions. so it’s preety much a gurentee that anakin will return into the mix and finish off jacen. if you think about it who else would be a match for jacen with luke dead. In a way jacen has already been passed palpatine in power i think by traitor he did if not the unifying force. the skywalkers have the more potential than yoda evr did since their the direct decednets of anakin skywalker. so potential wise their equals. howevr i agree with you on how krayt might have killed some one in order to be in control of the empire. oh yeah lucas himself stated from a source i got that yoda did not teach luke how to live longer. The onle beings so far that we have seen as force ghost are Ben, Anakin , Yoda and qui gunn who taught yoda and obi wan the secrets. the only thingyoda taught luke was the nessary skills and guidance needed to be powerful enough and mentally strong enough to defend himself against vader and the emperor. oh yeah let’s not forget Luke was not mind blowingly stronger than yoda he was not even stronger than Vader. You can tell that Vader did not really want to fight his son showing the conflict in him. Man luke was not even stronger than emperor who was weaker than Vader. doubt krayt would visit yoda unless he converts to be a jedi with i doubt
If you learn from birth surrounded by tutors you’re going to be way ahead in the skills……compared to if you learn for a few months from one teacher starting at around aged 20…….then having to piece together the rest as you find it…….that is, assuming you have time to sit and study day after day……instead of constantly having to save the universe.
This principle means that Luke should NOT be as powerful as he is. Jacen and Jaina…..yes, I can buy some of that, they grew up with more tutors….Ben even more so. Since the Jedi Order has been reborn, the lifelong teaching can make strong Jedi once more…..but after the Jedi Order fell to Sidious, there was a gap in the knowledge, and potential of the Jedi living in that time frame.
Result…..Luke can not possibly be in the same league as Yoda, nor most of the experienced Masters of the Old Republic.
Think of the analogy…..if you’re parents speak two languages at home…..from birth, you’re exposed to that, and through family and family friends you start speaking both languages without realizing it. It is natural…..you can switch between them at will.
If you only speak one language growing up, and try to learn a second one as an adult…..how hard is it?….now imagine that you have to piece together that second language from fragments as you’re learning it……next imagine that you hardly get a day to yourself, because you’re the “go-to-guy” to solve almost all the problems. How log does it take you to be fluent in that second language?
I get your point. That was the reason why Luke was so indesive early in the new jedi order series, heck that was the way luke was acting during the dark nest series. i wnat to ask you something when your comparing pure power are you saying the jedi of old are stonrger or your saying that physically the new jedi are the stronger of the two. but that in mental strgenth and knowledge the old jedi were much storger in that expact. i also wanted to ask you do you think that anakin would hold his own agisnt the current jacen Solo and luke if he did not supposedly had died.
Physical strength is about conditioning. Anyone who has a healthy lifestyle, with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise can get physically strong. The difference between the Jedi of the Republic and the New Republic is in the knowledge of (and the ability to use) the Force.
Yoda has close to 900 years of experience and training, all set in in environment where there are 1,000’s of Jedi to help share the knowledge. Where Jedi were respected everywhere….
Luke on the other hand had to learn pretty much on his own, find and teach others what he knew…..all through the prism of “if I fail, I may create another dark Jedi”. Could you teach a language you were introduced to late in life (in learning terms) as you were piecing it together and learning it? Luke is merely a baton carrier for the Jedi arts……a link point from the Old to New Republic.
Power means nothing….unless it’s focused. That focusing comes from being trained early enough, and given a way of approaching things. Luke may have had more raw power than his dad……but it means little, since he started training at an age where his dad was already well trained.
Anakin was involved in the Clone Wars, seen in Episode II at the same age as Luke held his first lightsaber in Obi-Wan’s home. Anakin had 10 or so years at the Jedi Temple being tutored every day, with a mentor shadowing his every move…..tuning his outlook. Most Jedi of Anakins time started training much earlier and would be already well on their way to becoming Jedi at the age Anakin arrived at the Temple.
Even the later reborn Jedi Order from the NJO wouldn’t be as strong. Sidious managed to wipe a LOT of Jedi knowledge, both living and archived from the universe. He made all Jedi fugitives, in a galaxy wide police state……which includes anyone found to be sympathetic to them or keeping their knowledge.
These are arts which really need a tutor passing knowledge to a student, they do not suit book learning…….the more time passes, the less potential teachers live…and the status means that it’s VERY difficult to find students to teach……which means that a lot of the knowledge the old Jedi had…..is lost. Gradually it will return, as it’s discovered, but that will take a LONG time.
luke found a jedi ship with alot of instructions.luke also foun holocrons and even found stuff on ossus. he has alot of knowlege.
luke trained himself by communing with the force. he had the best teacher to start and then spent at least 30 years learning while teaching.
sidious told yoda that vader would become more powerful than either of them. seeing as how luke has only a fake hand he is more powerful than anyone. lucas said luke is anakin at full power. that means luke surpasses yoda who surpasses everyone else. bottom line the skywalker family is the reawakening of the full power of the force.
anakin solo was to be the pinnacle of jedi training but lucas said one anakin only. otherwise he would have become the new leader of the order and also become the most powerful ever. that torch has been passed to ben. jacen is teaching him some but luke has stepped up to train him because hes sloppy. ben will be a better swordsman than luke and able to do anything with the force. he will kill jacen and he will bring anakin back to life to train him to do it.
i think that anakin is still alive. let’s think about anakin had surpposely died in a cloning factory and also anakin’s body was at the wrong place when he went to distarct the Vong. Anakin will return in the leghacy of the force and with the help of Ben skywalker will destory jacen
