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 
The Legacy Of The Force series is the best I’ve read in a while. Love the new dynamics at play, with Jacen at the head of the secret police.
Krayt is not a descendant of Jacen. It has been established clearly that Krayt IS over 100 years old. It is stated that he was alive during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
“Nearly 100 years ago the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, plunging the halaxy into deep chaos – bleeding and weakining it. Patient in the Force, I waited, as the galaxy grew darker. I watched as the invaders, finally defeated, were allowed to live in exile…that too served my purpose.”
“I know the Jedi from old.”
All from page 1 of issue 1.
“I cannot go back into stasis. I am Emporer now and must be seen – and seen as strong.”
From last page of issue 1.
These both clearly establish a) That he is alive during the Vong invasion and b) how he has prolonged his life.. some sort of stasis.
I doubt that Krayt is an entirely new character, at least I would be disappointed if he were. Jacen is a good possibility, but I doubt that it will be him or Ben simply because revealing information like that in issue #15 would effectively ruin the story of LEGACY OF THE FORCE in 40 ABY, as we would know how it ends. So I dont think that they will go there.. but I wish they would, Krayt as a Skywalker is ideal in my book.
Could be some other character… perhaps a Yuuzhan Vong himself who learned to touch the force… somebody like Nom Anor etc who had a lot of dealing with the Jedi.
It should be somebody we wont expect… so likely somebody we believe to be dead.
His blue eye looks like a cybernetic eye to me… look at the patterns on it.
That is likely a hint. Any one eyed jedi or force users back in the day? Somebody who had a run in with the Vong… how about Ganner? Very possible he didn’t die.. hard to confirm.
We could also reach even further back and get even more out there in our theories.. for example, do we KNOW that Mace Windu is dead… nobody saw a body. And I would argue that in his last few minutes he was straying pretty close to the dark side there.
The connection of the name Krayt implies a connection to Tatooine… at least having been there. What is somehow.. Anakin Skywalker wasnt dead… or had been cloned?
Wana go way the hell back there? Nobody ever clarified what happened to Revan. I know it was 4000 years ago, but who knows what that stasis crap is capable of. And as for choosing a new Sith name.. well, his memories were gone and he was effectively a new person.. a new name would seem necessary. And he did kill a Krayt Dragon.
hmm we also don’t know what happened to Darth Bane for sure do we?
thanks for the comments you’re right on with the stasis stuff.
nix the Darth Bane comment – no way it’s him since we see Bane (in a sith holocron) condemn Krayt at one point.
how about the human rised by the sand people Amed who was bought to the jedi temple by KI Adi Mundo. Or could it by Anikin Solos Girlfriend Tahiri Veila as she is part Vong.
What about Daye Azur-Jamin? He was captured during the war against the Vong and seduced to the dark side by a female force-sensitive Yuuzhan Vong. He also has one eye however at the end of the war he was redeemed and rescued by Mara Jade, Jan Ors, Jaden Korr and a team of Jedi and Alpha Blue agents.(By the way this is all in the Dark Forces Saga)
I also think he could be Anakin Solo and that the body that Jaina rescued and his family gave a proper funeral to was actually a clone and that he was instead captured by the Vong and they tried to use him for finding dark siders such as the sith which would mean he proabbly went to Korriban, which is where they say he started his new sith order
Now your proabbly thinking that that is a bad theory but the Vong are very supersticious. Just look at how they viewed Jacen and Jaina since they were twins. There is no doubt that they knew about Anakin Skywalker and how he became Darth Vader and maybe since Anakin Solo is named Anakin they could have thought he was some how going to be a dark sider or had a connection or something wierd like that, that would make the Vong or at least some renegade Vong choose to keep him alive and use him to discover dark-siders or dark side secrets and that eventually he escaped and was changed by his expierences enough to use the dark-side to prevent another awful war.
its ankin solo or palpatine.it makes sense with the krayt as he knew of tatooines importance.also the armor is from a vong cloning tank,when anakin died a piece of palpy got free and became real again only mixed with voxxyn.the year is right.
Ya, but I’m just hoping that if it is Anakin Solo then its not a clone. The theory on him being a Vong sounds pretty good to. Nom Anor invented those masks that make the wearer have the skin of a different species. Krayt could be wearing one of those. Also I kinda think that the Vong will have the force return to them sometime because they settled on Zonama Sekot, who could eventually come to return them the force but I doubt it will happen right after the war which is the same year Krayt is said to have started his order.
I doubt it is Palpatine because Krayt doesn’t seem as evil as Palpatine was. Krayt seems to want everything to be orderly and peaceful which is why I think that he and Jacen Solo seem so alike. Maybe Lumiya and him are trying to turn Jacen because he stands a better chance of unifying the galaxy and he has the lineage to since he is Vader’s grandson but he eventually is redeemed and/or dies. Lumiya would eventually die to and so Krayt would be forced to rethink his plans and have to take more time and be more patient.
Coule Darth Krayt be a clone of Anikin Skywalker. From Boundflight all people who broaded the flight had a DNA sample taken. As we know Jonus K’baoth had a clone why not Anikin or evan Obi-wan
Good point it would not surprise me if they put in something we had no idea about or we completely overlooked. The thing is any of those old characters would not really want to do things that Krayt is apparently doing. If there clones I think it would be a situation similiar to Palpatine where he had to keep making clones of himself to survive. Also I would guess that those clones would be under the control of someone else, someone like a powerful force-sensitive.
