Or not, but do you see the resemblence? Imagine Trey'lis going all crazy after Maladi's mind probing, just like Ventor after Vader's probing, I'd like that grin

Randy's mention that there are thus far no plans in the series to explore/discuss the Solo lineage. From this can we assume that the Fels are NOT decended from Jaina?

I would not assume that. The subplot about Jaina, Jag and Zekk will probably not be completely solved until LotF #9, so that is probably one of the reasons why the Solo line is off-limits at the moment - although previously people have claimed we would see Solos in Legacy, but perhaps that was just fan speculation? And perhaps this is just one of those "from certain point of view" things?

If the identity of Darth Krayt is revealed in #15, then that pretty much buries the possibility of him being Jacen, Ben, Anakin Solo, a clone of Anakin Solo or a secret son of Luke by either Lumiya or Callista, because all these things would most likely also interfere with LotF.


I'm thinking you might be right on with the "certain point of view" thing. It could very well be a case where "no plans to explore the Solo lineage" simply means "we're not going to get around to it for a while because we'll be too busy exploring things like Cade's ongoing story and the revelation of Krayt's identity and its' ramifications."

Or in other words, just because there are no plans to explore it doesn't mean the folks writing it don't know that there -is- a Solo lineage (or two or three) out there...they just might not have thought up a story that revolves around exploring the backstory of said families to that degree....yet.

I'd imagine there's a certain desire on the part of the writers to keep their stories in the "present" of the timeline they've created. It'd be kind of awkward to flash back and tell the entire history of the Fel line (for example) for no real reason than to quell fan speculation. And sure, you could work in a scene of Fel mentioning his ancestors somehow, but it'd likely be forced.

In all honesty, some of the commentary -around- the Fel line leads me to believe they're not descended from the Skywalker/Solo line anyhow. Or that if they are, it's not common knowledge even to folks like Nyna Calixte. For instance, you don't see Calixte talking about Marasiah being a potential Skywalker heir, or any potential for her to turn towards the Dark Side because of "family history." It'd seem her style to have thrown in a barb about Anakin Skywalker or Jacen Solo to Roan Fel while he had a lightsaber to her throat, if he was in fact related to them.

I know, just a small thing, and not really solid evidence either way, but worth noting, IMHO.

(Of course, if Alanna's parentage was never publicly known, she could still conceivably have married into the Fel line and the Solo/Skywalker connection could conceivably remain secret) wink

She did mention his dislike of the Sith, didn´t she? A subtle reference to those examples you mention, perhaps? thinking She could not have gone too far in making him angry after all, because he was pretty close of killing her. plain

Pointless anyway, because even if Alanna were Roan Fel's wife (and Marasiah's mother, though it seems unlikely since it looks like they've squeezed at least one more generation into that mix), we know Cade is Luke Skywalker's (at least) great-grandson, they're already so "removed" that they'd barely even be considered cousins.

So no, no real incest, even if the coloring error wasn't fixed. wink

You are fast veering beyond the pale of reasonable human behavior.

While I like the idea of Legacy being open-ended and continuing indefinitely, I'm also afraid that that means the negotiations between Fel's Empire and what's left of the GA will be sabotaged, since its still somewhat early if this series turns out to run as long as Republic did.


If this series runs for years, there's potential for so much more to happen. Another war, even. Another invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong, striking from Zonama Sekot!

Did anyone else find it kind of amusing that the Galactic Alliance Guards looked like generic Brooklyn tough guys? tongue

Well, despite my attempt to explain away the potential "OMG INCEST" speculations, I think I'd vastly prefer Antares/Marasiah myself.

Even if I'm pretty sure it won't really turn out that way. Antares is looking like he has "doomed to unrequited love" written all over him.

Of course, I don't think it'll be Marasiah and Cade, either. Too obvious (been there/done that), and I don't think Cade has any interest in being an Imperial consort.

On a completely unrelated note: Some of the dialogue here seemed to indicate that the Imperial Knights are more directed toward the Unifying Force than the Living Force (pointedly Roan's comment to Antares about his attachment to Marasiah). And we have Kol's declaration in issue #1 about the Living Force.

It seems there might possibly be more to the Imperial Knight/Jedi split than just Imperial loyalty. And it could well be that another "philosophical schism" has ultimately weakened both sides (The Jedi clinging to the Living Force and the IKs to the Unifying, when a balance is what's really required). Hence the reason all but the most powerful and skilled/experienced among each seem to have any chance of standing against the New Sith.

Antares is looking like he has "doomed to unrequited love" written all over him.

I think that there is a pretty good chance that Antares will end up betraying the Fels to the Sith. He could get captured and Krayt could make him an offer he could not resist:"I give you the Fel girl if I you give me her father´s head. Or I can kill you." Something along those lines. The speech that Roan Fel gave to Antares was not really smart thing to do, it just probably made the guy desperate. He should have either killed Antares right then or have gived him some hope. Now he is becoming a dangerous risk. plain
