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?

First, the 30 ABY thing was an approximate time, not an exact date. Could basically indicate Jacen’s generation.
Second, Clones have NEVER been a major villain in StarWars. They have been tools, and occasionally a somewhat interesting supporting character. Never a villain. No more so than a droid.
aaahhh come on. Thrawn’s clone was a villain (and a great one too).
tell the people whos planets were overrun by imperials that clones werent a major villain and someone named boba fett was in the opinion of many to be a major villain.
i am darth krayt and my old name was…….obi wan kenobi i had enuff of the jedi they made me live in a goshdarn desert for 18 years. damn that green bastard
just kidding i will reveal my true name the day sacrifice comes out.
heres a hint my name was mentioned by darth who.
The son of the second Bounty Hunter who died in 6th movie.
K ur theory is pretty good. Jacen can flow walk what if he flow walked to 30 ABY. I dont know though it doesnt feel right DK being Jacen plus Jacen is a person who wants a democracy government. He likes the GA he just wants it to be a stronger government.
Thrawn’s clone? Thrawn’s clone never even woke up in his tank. Luke and Mara watched him die before he ever ‘hatched’.
I am not saying that clones were not adversaries, but they definitely were not villains. A) They didn’t have evil intent, B) They didn’t provide the motive for the schemes that they were carrying out. They were no more a villain than their blaster rifles were.
As for Boba Fett, interesting point. But again, he almost never did anything on his own volition, he worked for others and had little or no personal feelings about the jobs he did. He could be perceived by his targets as a villain, but he didn’t see them as enemies, and he could be argued to have been a hero as often as a villain. Grey character in general.
Good point. We could argue the same about DK and Jacen Solo. Both are selfless in what they do and think only of making a peaceful galaxy. It is just the ways in which they choose to do it. In Exile Jacen makes a comment to a smuggler when the smuggler says Jacen wants to put them out of business or something like that. Jacen responds that he only wants them to become legitate and not do wrong.
True as for the questionable morality. The difference being that unlike clones, they are in charge. They give orders and set policies that oppress and harm. The are the head of the monster as it were, rather than one of the fangs or claws. Villain denotes a certain amount of evil.. and it is hard to call a tooth or a hand, evil. A mind though… a heart… a will. That can be evil.
ok jacen is not selfless anymore. he was in the beginning but somewhere along the line he worried about allana and she is the reason hes doing this.he was seduced to the darkside. it started with the killiks and now its the whole galaxy that he needs to fix.sounds alot like his grandpa doesnt he. mark my words jacen is not selfless hes become selfish and powerhungry. go ahead and try to debate that without going before the dark nest books and i will prove you wrong.
too bad for jacen, now the SWORD OF THE JEDI will have to cut him down.
