Lit Legacy Number Kriffing One, Baby: Prisoner of the Floating World

Well its not unlikely communication was crippled during the wars. Might just be a massive tech upgrade though.

 

Well, I was more referring to the fact that his name is Grand Admiral Jello.

Though, the Empire is overall overwhelming militarist, and got its start in the militarist movement of the Old Republic. Even the aristocrats of the Empire were typically from old military families.

True enough.

 

I really liked the dynamic between Admiral Stazi and Empress Fel in the preview. You can see where both are coming from.

But why is K'kruhk siding with Stazi? Surely he must see the obvious reasoning behind it? Right now it's looking like Stazi might be the moderate, the compromiser, not K''kruhk, which would be... odd. I don't get where K'kruhk is coming from at all.
(Nevermind that the Jedi shouldn't even be in the Triumvirate. Nevermind that even if there has to be Jedi in the Triumvirate, they shouldn't be led by K'kruhk. It's the only thing about the Legacy:War finale that I didn't like. I wish Wolf Sazen had lived, and it was him who was leading the Jedi now.)


And yeah, that guy definitely killed the crew. Either he's an Imperial Knight who fell to the dark side, or he's a Sith who had adopted the IK armor.

Looks like we now know whose lightsaber Ania Solo will find, and why it will bring her trouble...

 

Great granddaughter. Allana is Han and Leia's granddaught. Great-great is 2 generations after Allana.

 

Allana's Leia's granddaughter
Allana's daughter is Leia's great-granddaughter

Allana's granddaughter is Leia's great-great granddaughter.

 

2 generations after Allana would make it Allana's granddaughter

Which makes sense, since Kol is probably Ben's grandson and Roan is almost certainly Jaina's grandson. Allana is about 20 years younger than Jaina, so Ania's age/heritage fits with her being Han/Leia's great-great-granddaughter and Allana's granddaughter.

 

Like I said over at the DH forum, I love the art, and I'm really excited where the new writers are gonig to go. Still, I really really hate K'Kruhk. I lot of which is my own fault I guess. In the scheme of things K'Kruhk really doesn't matter. Most Star Wars fans, and hell probably a good many casual EU fans don't even know who he is. So he shouldn't really bother me, but he does. Maybe it's because of the fame he has, not so much because he's a great character, but because he has a cool hat.

When K'Kruhk was introduced no one ever said he was an AWESOME character, well developed, etc. They liked his damn hat. Kruhk has as much personality as the rest of the prequel Jedi, which is pretty much NONE.

Maybe it's because this minor character has outlived every single great character in the EU. Which since I don't really care about the EU, he should be nothing more than a character in a comic book to me. But that he has survived this long makes him note worthy, and I don't think K'Kruhk should be note worthy. Why does he get this great honor? Because of a HAT. For me it's like a Legacy comic where we find out Jaxxon is alive and now owner of the Millenium Falcon. It's like...Wut?

I hope he dies!!!

 

Except for the anti-alien policies:

The Rise & Fall of Darth Vader
page 130:

Whereas by Pellaeon's time as ruler:
Vision of the Future page 281:

I suspect too much is being read into the potential implications of him making a "gardening metaphor" here.

Vader's conversation with Tarkin about the destruction of Alderaan does not involve him giving any "express orders"- simply a recommendation:

The Rise & Fall of Darth Vader
page 150:

Not to mention that:
page 145:

 

Hmmmm.....not sure how to respond, especially as I do not want to derail the thread...

but...your distinctions come off as kind of arbitrary Jello. Tarkin isn't a generationalist even though his family is one of the oldest and most powerful families of the Republic? And while his homeworld is geographically in the rim, its culture has been described as "more core than core."

For that matter, the nature of hyperspace travel makes the core/rim distinction rather hallow - physical distance matters less than how clear the routes are. In any case, plenty of Rim worlds have been civilized just as long as the core - longer in the case of the Gree and Columni.

Similarly, I don't think you can separate the aristocrats from corporatism: many CEOs in Star Wars also have noble titles, and many nobles own at least some businesses. The CIS member corporations, in particular, are based out of some of the oldest and most influential core worlds.

Additionally, I don't think the generationalists are saints either - Admiral Piett, a scrappy rimworlder, is presented as more sympathetic than Ozzel, who is foolish and uncaring and only got a command position because of his family's connections in Cardia.

Finally - yeah, there are plenty of examples of sympathetic old school imperial aristocrats, but that is also true of the rebel alliance and the confederacy of independent star systems.

 

I will be collecting the TPB's. Not sure if I can get the regular issues or not. I am so excited for this series. I will be following this series closely.

 

The preview looks awesome! I am thinking the species of that governor was the same species pictured on the cover of #2.

 

K'Kruhk is a moron who calls on archaic 150-year old precedents when making decisions, completely ignoring everything that's happened in the interim. He's a coward and a relic of an outdated past who shouldn't be in any sort of leadership position. Like Darth Mane, I hope he dies a fiery, fiery death.

 

I wouldn't say I "hate" K'kruhk. It's not even necessarily a problem that he's still alive in this era.

The problem, I think, is that he's the Jedi leader in this era, and (as an extension of that and as an extension of the Jedi being in the triumvirate) he's now one of the 3 leaders of the new Triumvirate government.

If he was just another Master on the Council, even now, it wouldn't bother me that much.

 

I've read a lot of the comics that had K'Kruhk in the PT era but wish he was not in the Legacy era.

 

I don't blame the new comic at all, since this was given at the end of "Legacy: War," and I'm glad we're picking up right where we left off, and this really one of the few (perhaps only?) thing John&Jan did that I didn't like in volume 1 of Legacy... so I guess I'm just hoping that K'kruhk leaves the Triumvirate soon, one way or another. Or at least starts making sense.

 

I would have liked it if it was someone from Luke's order. Lowie or a descendant of Corran, Kyp, Saba etc.

 

K'Kruhks mere survival was nothing more than the self indulgence of Ostrander. He took a character he had fun playing with in Republic and used him in Legacy.

Nothing wrong with that, it's harmless. What writer doesn't love to use characters they are familiar with? But even the anti-EU in me can't help but sit here and think that of the 150 years of EU. Of all the great EU characters, and Jedi character who were actually interesting people. It's K'Kruhk who survived to lead the Jedi in the far future. Obviously John couldn't use more well known Jedi Masters from the NJO, like Horn or Kip, but man it just annoys me. Plain and simple.

What is so great about K'Kruhk?

Raiden wore the hat better. Man that would be awesome. Have Raiden come in, fry K'Kruhk with lightning and take his hat.

 

He doesn't have a human life expectancy

 

A Kyp or Corran descendant would have tied in the NJO and Luke's legacy so much more than K'Kruhk ever could.

 

that's the thing, John couldn't use them. Well I think he COULD have used them, but he felt that by using them he would have tied the hands of those working on the novels for the FOTJ and whatever else they're working on. Which is fair guess. I mean I can see John and Jan discussing Legacy and just coming thinking, "why not thrown K'Kruhk in there? He was popular in Republic."

Like I said harmless, but now, and unfortunatly for me, K'Kruhk gets to go down as one of the great Jedi Masters who out lived pretty much everybody.

 

No @#$%

 

You mean stop Denning from killing everyone? Sucks to be Denning. Or actually keep someone alive from the YJK or the rest of the Next Generation? How is that tying their hands? They can actually flesh a character out and not kill them off
