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 
There is now way Allana is lady maladi. Maladi is a Devorrian. The female Devorrians look significantly different than the males do. Also in Traitor were not sure if what Jacen saw was really Anakin’s force ghost. Personally I believe he was halucinating. I think in the end of LFL we will see Jaina and Jag get married and Zekk dying or falling to the dark side and being killed as well. Anakin will reveal that he has been alive the whole time and have second thoughts about starting his sith order. (Yes I believe Lumiya, Vererge and Anakin planned this out thoroughly and wanted Jacen to join to hopefully be the public face of the order and get people used to the idea of good sith, if that makes sense) Lumiya will get furious and after Anakin and Jacen duel and Jacen is dying Lumiya will kill Tahiria because Anakin will not go through with bringing the order about. Anakin will then kill Lumiya and decide to go along with it because he is heart broken over what happened. Luke and most likely Jacen’s parents will be dead by the end of the series. Nobody will no Anakin returned and if they do they will think he died or disappeared again. Years will pass and Anakin will be ready to take the galaxy.
i agree with you that anakin will return but i’m sort of conflicted about him being a main reason how the sith order was being rebuilt. let’s face facts During Anakin’s 17 years including the NJO books anakin had a strong potent fear of the dark side. He did not want to make the same mistake that had ruin such a good man (accoding to sources) his grandfather anakin skywalker and turned him to vader. i think this shows that he is the most unlikey of the solo children to turn to the dark side. Personally i think he will fight for the good and kill Jacen. I think Mara or Ben will kill lumiya. Hell i wouldn’t be surprised if jaina did it. Besides like i siad on previous post Luke’s legacy of greatness is done. He has done evry possible heroic thing to save the galaxy that so many people can’t count. it’s about time he either passes to torch to his son Ben or the returnig anakin. It is a absoultae given Luke will not make through the series alive. problay be a force ghost to guide Ben and anakin
What about the Solo’s not being in Legacy? If Anakin returns as himself in LFL and not a sith lord then he is most likely going to stay and marry Tahari. They will have a family and there will be Solo offspring. In Legacy there is no mention of the Solos (at least for the moment). If the authors did intend for Anakin to return to his normal self then he would have kids and his decedents would play a big role in Legacy. But then again he could also be killed after he returns by Jacen or Lumiya. I doubt it because we do know there is going to be some major characters dying and I doubt that a character they just brought back would die.
I also was thinking about DK’s vong armor and how it is going to consume him entually. Well what if DK was like Taharia and half Vong half Jedi. The experiment could of been caried out by renegade shapers who covered it up. DK or whoever he was before then could of escaped but not before some really freaky things were done to him. The experiment would of been different than Taharia’s because he did not recieve a split personality. Instead he would of had some crazy implants or something. I dont know why he would then want to go and unite the galaxy and do the whole sith thing but I doubt it is because he is crazy. He does not seem like somebody who is corrupted by the dark side. He seems like he is doing it for certain reasons just like Darth Revan did.
in one of the comics krayt has a vision of his armor taking him over.i think he turns into a voxxyn.thats a good reason to think hes a clone of anakin.hes not the main sith of the legacy series. someone really evil is gonna pop up and take out alot of sith. the rule of two plus krayt if hes not good by then.by good i mean fighting the sith with drazen the one armed jedi. theres gonna be a bond there.
you guys think lost is a good show? i do. people just cant follow it because its not all wrapped up nice and tight. like the star wars books it takes a while to figure stuff out.
Ya I watch it. Do you know that the makers of Lost met discussing Star Wars. It’s like one of their favorite things. Sewyer was awesome on this week’s episode. I have never seen him more serouis or angry before, it was pretty sweet.
By the way does anyone know what happend in Legacy issue 11. Its the first in the two part Ghosts of Ossus. I’m almost positive there are Vong in it.
What is up with everybody thinking that Anakin Solo will return? Sounds like lazy wishful thinking to me.. may as well say that Yoda will show back up again just because we would all like to see it. The boy died because George Lucas proclaimed it.. doesnt get more permanent than that in Star Wars. Also, there were witnesses, his own siblings among them, who not only saw but FELT him die. His mother and uncle felt him die from LIGHTYEARS away. Not just disappear or vanish… but DIE.
Also he wasn’t in a cloning facility so much as he was in a gene-splicing facility.. one which was DESTROYED.
Anakin Solo is DEAD. He chose to sacrifice himself to save his friends and family and accomplish his mission. If he were to have secretly survived it would diminish his heroism, and also he would have been in hiding for 15 years now! Its not as if the Vong would have been holding him captive this whole time, as they have been at peace and have essentially been converted for about ten years now.
So not only would Anakin living diminish his character, it would mortally wound the credibility of the entire story line to do such a cheesey and lazy not to mention contradictory bit of plot.
It would be on par with bringing in some fan fiction about kryptonians in StarWars (of course Superman as a Jedi would be unbeatable and the best of all time yada yada… but could you get more ridiculous???).
i wanna see brainiac or lex as sith.
Okay the process Chances are that you’re right about Anakin. Given that we can surmise several things.
1)Krayt is Highly unlikely to be Jacen Mainly due to the contest about the new Siths name… granted it could all be a ruse
2)George Lucas doesn’t give a CRAP about the expanded universe (Despite the fact that it tends to be far and away better than the Prequels) and so most likely wasn’t the one to okay Anakins death.
3)Krayt is not from the Skywalker Family so that rules out Ben as a candidate.
Given that who do you think Krayt is?
Hmmm.. well, for starters let me say that I HOPE that DARTH WHO contest is a ruse, and that Krayt IS Jacen. That’s a hope though, not a bet, as I personally doubt it.
I want to ask though why you think Krayt isn’t a Skywalker?
As for who I think he is, my theory is still Daye Azure-Jamin. The Jedi Knight of Luke’s generation who fought the Empire and then fought the Yuuzhan Vong, he was captured by a force strong Yuuzhan Vong who seems to have been trained in SITH ways. He was turned to the dark side by this being, but then supposedly was returned to the light by Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn. Supposedly. Plus the guy has a cybernetic left eye, just like Krayt. So given the age, the eye, and the bacground with both Jedi, Empire, Sith, and Vong, I’m thinking that he is our guy.
As for Lucas not giving a crap about the expanded universe, I agree with you to the point that he doesn’t contribute, UNLESS he feels that the expanded U is getting in the way of his movies or projects, which was the case with Anakin Solo. People would type in ANAKIN and wouldnt necessarily get his golden boy, Anakin Skywalker. He just couldn’t have that, so Anakin Solo had to go because he was causing character confusion. Especially since he was essentially the chosen one for his generation.
