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?

Alright if it has to be a clone why not Luuk? It was never really clarified what happened to him. He just kind of vanished and he was as Darkside as they come.
Luuke Skywalker was decapated by Mara Jade in The Last Command (Im pretty sure it was decapation) either way he died.
The amulet we don’t know for sure if it actually has powers but I doubt it because someone would of used it much earlier or maybe it is a possesion of Lumiya. As for the slayers being clones of fallen Jedi, they are most likely heavily vong formed clones of Anakin at some certain age and not Jacen because he is taller than them. The theory of Ganner being Krayt is good but remember he sacrificed himself on purpose so Jacen and Vererge could escape. He even reflects on what he is doing by saying his whole life was all about him sacrificing himself and becoming a legend to both the GA/NJO and the Vong
Columbo the quote from Jan is really interesting. When I first read it I started to think that it is really saying that we are going to be surpised about DK’s identity because it is definately going to be a familiar character and the reasons he is doing it or going to be really surprising. I also agree very much with your first theory on Krayt being Anakin. When I first guessed DK was Anakin my first theory was very similiar to urs. The difference is I think Anakin experienced something close to what Revan expierenced. He may have had a force vision right before his “death” that showed him the True Sith having failed with encouraging the Mandolarians in attacking the Republic and Jedi and also how a redeemed Reven set them back thousands of years but didn’t quit destroy them. Then the True Sith made contact with the Vong must likely through Onimi and they sort of made him control Shimmira and caused him to do everything. This would mean that the Tru Sith were the ones behind the Vong war and that Anakin saw them winning meaning that they would invade decades after the Vong War(The True Sith saw the galaxy winning against the Vong but the Vong War’s effects being the worst and most hororific of any previous war) unless Anakin became DK and made the galaxy strong.
I doubt it but I would not be surprised at all. Nobody knows for sure about what has happened to the True Sith, Revan, or the Jedi Exile. Also if anyone has read Tempest Lumiya reveals to Aleema that their are more Sith and a plan set into motion that will go on even if Lumiya dies. I am almost certain that these are the Legacy Era Sith and Lumiya and DK are trying have Jacen assume the mantle he was met to take. I mean think about it. That meeting Lumiya said she had with Vererge could of taken place above Mrykk on that world ship and Anakin could of easily been the third member of that meeting. Anakin and Lumiya could of gone off to Korriban to study and since Korriban was untouched by the Vong during the war they would not have to worry about anyone bothering them. Anakin could of assumed the mantle of DK in 30 ABY and started training apprentices all along hoping his brother would become the public face of the order.
Idk for sure about any of this but it seems to fit into the story pretty well so who knows for sure about what is going to happen. Personally I really like hearing Lumiya explain the truth of the sith and how they really are. The whole selfless attitude is what we need to have world leaders/military leaders have in real life.
anakin solo would be great i was pissed when they killed him. hers why its him ……..from my point of view
1.salvatore never said he was dead.he wrote “by then anakin was gone”
2.jaina said the body didnt feel like anakin.
3.his body didnt disapear. niether did quigon but anakin had become one with the force like noone before him.jacen came close while fighting omini but thats it.
4.anakin never got that kiss from tahiri.
5.i want anakin solo to return and so do alot of you.
anyone know about tvshows when are they coming out?
go with me here. krayt is a vong accident. while making the slayers
(one would assume aboard the ship at myrkyr)some of anakins blood is mixed with vonuun crab. this would explain the why he is is such a big deal compared with who.now if you are thinking maybe all you have to do is read the part of unifying force wherer the slayers are introduced to the elite.obviously between the slayers height,the mention of anakins lightsaber being sanctified already(read it)and the way shimra talks about his jedaii the vong have a reverence for anakin.
by the way in that chapter shimra says that the saber was taken from the jedi who killed vong in great numbers. he doesnt say the dead jedi..might be ganner
First let me address the issue that Krayt has one blue eye.. its not just blue. It is cybernetic. Look closer at the retina pattern (which they make a point of showing) at the end of issue #1 during his face shot. Its not organic. That both rules out DK being an actual VONG (as they would have had an organic replacement) and counters the theory that he had to be somebody with blue eyes (the retina if rull of right angles and artificial symmetry, check it out).
As for Anakin Solo… much as I would like DK to be a Skylwalker of some sort, it wont be him. Why? Anakin’s death came from on high. Lucas didn’t want to have to deal with the idea that there were two Anakins. If they had named him Bail or something he probably wouldn’t have died. But as it is, he is dead for continuity and political reasons and so I STRONGLY doubt we will ever see him again (though I do think that bringing him back would be something Jacen the Sith might try when he needs a good apprentice, for the behind the scenes reasons I say it wont happen).
As for Clones.. as a a writer my only complaint with that as a background is that it is too easy. It makes Krayt less of an individual with a story to tell and more of a creation of somebody else, which diminishes him. Much as he would be UBER if somebody crossed the DNA of Anakin and Sidious and Luke and then modified it to make the person stronger and longer lived.. its just a cheesey origin for the arch-villain of a series.
Krayt was a person who made the choice to become Sith for a reason. He has one cybernetic eye and one eye that is normal for a Sith. He has Vong armor and has had something done to him that is taking over his body (the armor itself?). He has gone into stasis at least once to prolong his long and was arguably a fully aware adult at the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and from his comments likely during the war against the Empire as well.
Given his familiarity with the Jedi (he speaks like he has insider knowledge), and the Yuuzhan Vong, and the Empire.. I say Daye Azure-Jamin.

clones were a major villain in the movie saga so a clone wouldnt diminish the archvillain it would add to lucass idea .
star wars =clones
If DK is a clone then I would say he is the clone Boba Fett is looking for in Bloodlines. This clone fought at Geonosis and has a prolonged life span. He is over 100. I think his precise age is 140 but I am not sure. I like the idea about DK being an accident but something does not seem completely right about that. Tahria has a split personality with a Vong and is still a jedi. If Anakin had some sort of Vong thing in him then he would be like Tahiria. He would want to be like Tahiria because he loves her. He would not want to fall to the dark side unless his reasons were similiar to Jacen’s which I doubt.
DK couldn’t be Jacen since DK was creating the New Sith Order on Korriban in 30 ABY and that was the year that the YV War ended hence DK couldn’t be Jacen unless…Jacen learns to travel physically through time and learns to live for a very long time.
Hence I believe that DK is someone who we know of and is either presumed dead or someone we forgot about, or ir could be that DK is someone totally new that we have never encountered before.
