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 
when are we going to find out the truth
Legacy Issue # 15
do u think we will see vong in the Legacy series ?
it ain’t anakin. first of all anakin was pure hearted. he hated the dark side. i would find it hard to believe that it would be anakin of all the skywlker members to join the dark side.
We never thought Jacen would turn to the dark side either…
No way in hell is it Anakin.. gonna enjoy watching ya eat your words when it is confirmed in a couple of weeks here. 😉
Wow you have issues…
someones in love with their own ideas arent they
daye azur jamin or whatever his name is is an unknown.its gonna be someone everyone knows. unless the writers were playing six degrees of anonymity when they came up with krayt.
LONG LIVE ANAKIN SOLO
I posted on this thread a while back and I tend to be a reader rather than a poster, but I have to reiterate my point again.
First of all, Anakin Solo is deader than a kipper on a cracker. And he will stay that way. There is no reason Lucas would allow him to be brought back into the storyline and become a Sith. It would totally defeat the purpose of why Lucas insisted that he be killed off in the first place. Because he did not want him to confused with Anakin Skywalker. If Anakin Solo was to be “resurrected” in the mythos and then became Darth Krayt he would become even more like his grandfather which is something Lucas would not want.
I still feel that Krayt will turn out to be Ben Skywalker. Although, I am not as sure about as I once was. By reading what some of the other posters have said, some doubt has crept into my mind. But I am sticking to my guns. For one very big reason, it makes the most sense. If you think about it, you can almost anticipate the story before it is even written. Luke and Ben have a very strained relationship as it is and it would make sense if Ben was pushed to the edge because of the death of his mentor Jacen at the hands of *insert name here*. Jacen’s killer could be any number of people: Luke, Mara, Jaina, heck it could even be Leia. Ben will be named Jacen’s Sith Apprentice at some point. Why would he not take up the mantle of Sith Lord, retreat to Korriban and begin to build this New Sith Order that Lumiya has eluded to?
Another reason is that so far none of the others mentioned here have been mentioned or appeared in the LotF books (Anakin has but he is not a character in the series). These two series are linked and it would make sense that one or more of the characters carried over to the comics, in one form or another.
I do agree, however, that Krayt is not the real threat in the Legacycomics series. He will either die or turn back to the light eventually.
The only other possibilites that I can see for the idenity of Krayt are Azur-Jamin and A’Sharad Hett. However, both of these characters are pretty obscure EU characters and do not have a strong enough “presence” in the mythos to suddenly appear out of nowhere as the leader of the New Sith Order. They have also not been mentioned or seen in the LotF Books yet. The identity of Krayt is being hyped a decent amount. And if one of these two characters are revealed to be him, many will be left wondering the big deal was…
