John Ostrander and Jan Duursema bring Cade Skywalker closer to the dark side in the magnificent second volume published by Comic Planet of Star Wars Legacy
What for many is the best story in the universe Star Wars (at least as far as comics are concerned) continues in its new edition by comic planet with a second comprehensive volume. Again John Ostrander y Jan Dursema will be the main responsible for guiding us along with Cade Skywalker on his journey to the dark side (or not) in the second volume of Star Wars Legacy.
looking for redemption
We had left our protagonist, Cade, in search of redemption in the previous volume. It must be remembered that, as a bounty hunter, Cade had delivered Dark Craterthe current leader of the Sithand Jediwhich his henchmen would be in charge of retaining in the Sith Temple of Coruscant. And not exactly to play a game of Dejarik…
Despite his last name and all that it implies, Cade is neither a Jedi nor does he have any sympathy for them. The murder of his father by a Sith when he was a youth Padawan It has marked his life, and now he lives trying to silence the pain with drugs and the adventures that a life devoid of morality entails.
But the recent events experienced by this renegade have made him make peace with his past, to a certain extent, and decide to head towards the heart of the storm to amend his actions and free the imprisoned Jedi. And from here he will begin a new chapter in his life, one that will put him in Sith territory as a key piece of Darth Krayt’s plans of conquest…
Darth Krayt, an old acquaintance
Krayt is the great villain of this story, not just the one who threatens to relive the worst times of the galactic empire with the Emperor Palpatine lead, but also the one who will tempt Cade with the dark side of the Force, a side to which this Skywalker leans too easily. But will Cade fall like he did Anakin Skywalker con Darth Sidiousor he will resist temptation as happened with Luke Skywalker? That moment “Join me and together we will dominate the galaxy as father and son” will not be missing, which can bring back such pleasant memories to any fan of the saga…
It will soon be revealed to us in this volume that, as was more than evident, this Sith hid his identity for a good reason. And it is that the authors will dedicate one of the first numbers contained herein to explain how this old acquaintance (at least for the readers of the old canon of this galactic saga) has gone from being who he was (we will keep the secret) to becoming the head of a new Sith movement that proves stronger than it has been in the last century…
His story will be full of references to well-known events that occurred in the past of the galaxy, and will connect with other fictions in a brilliant way, giving that false sensation of uniformity and coherence that, as lovers of this universe know, is so appreciated. like impossible.
A large and diverse galaxy
In this second volume, new characters and subplots continue to be incorporated into the story, and always in such a way that these additions are interesting and add value. We have, on the one hand, that group of fighter pilots at the service of this new Galactic Empire whose appearances are gaining importance, but the Admiral will also gain prominence Gar Stazithe person in command of the army of the Galactic Alliance in raids against his oppressive regime. Stazi will star in an episode in which he will go to the shipyards about My Calamari to try to steal a new advanced star destroyer called imperious.
And, on the other hand, be careful because throughout the volume we are going to meet more members of the Skywalker family than we might have thought at first…
All of this ultimately helps to enrich the story that the authors present to us here, strengthening the feeling that we are possibly facing the best comic book series in this galactic universe. In the graphic section, Duursema continues with some problems when it comes to narrating action sequences, but the marvelous character designs make the reader forget these deficiencies. And she is sorely missed when she is Alan Robinson who is in charge of drawing…
