No, Havac is right. It's informal grammar. "Princess Leia and the other guys from Tatooine"; "Luke and the other pilots who were in Red Squadron before the Battle of Yavin"; "Executor and the other Imperial-class Star Destroyers of Death Squadron". Context defines meaning.

That said, I think it makes more sense if Mandalore Sector has scattered outliers of territory, rather than being a single coherent bloc of space.

Again, I've never heard it, but Havac says he has. That's fine. Lots of people use improper grammar. Notwithstanding, it's very improper, to the point of actually confusing the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, no editor would allow it. In fact, it probably shouldn't be used in writing because, as has been shown, chances are most other people are going to confuse it for the proper English and thus confuse your meaning.

Informal is another way of saying improper. wink

When you're trying to argue that the wording of a sentence is displaying a particular meaning, you can't use "informal" grammar to prove your point--because it eliminates the ability of a sentence's syntax to deliver any particular meaning. It could mean anything, informally.

If Darth Krayt has any connection to LotF, it could be a very good time to reveal his identity at the time this arc comes out. If there will be a big death in Sacrifice - which is almost certain - then Legacy could benefit from the interest that Sacrifice will probably create towards SW. The Darth Krayt arc will come out before and after Inferno, where the "true enemies" of Jacen are supposed to be revealed. There could - probably is not, but could - be a connection to this too. thinking

Or, to put it simpler, admitting you're wrong can't prove you're right.

there's 2 ideas that go with the Krayt in LOTF idea in the "Requiem for a Fantheory: R.I.P. Jacen = Darth Krayt" thread. one from another poster and one of mine that ties in to the "true enemies" thing. i agree that given the timing of this reveal and LOTF that somethings gotta be connected here.

Well, it couldn't mean Paul is dead. And it couldn't mean Witte is from the other guys. Apparently it makes sense in Wisconsin and Scotland and nowhere else. Whatever.

Ultimate Hett / Darth Krayt


I think I'm putting my money on A'Sharad Hett. I've been catching up on my reading and Anakin (Skywalker) attacking him in a rage in SW:REPUBLIC #59 was his chance to end the Skywalker line.

He mentions stasis in LEGACY #1, so that takes care of the age thing. For whatever reason he could have frozen himself down. Maybe because he had been infected by the Vong, or maybe that came later. The facial tattoos fit, and the mentions of him being a "pretender" to the Sith legacy and of knowing the Jedi "of old" fit. He's also a DH character, so the theory makes sense.

Hett was also trained by the Dark Woman, and almost fell to the dark side when he fought Aurra Sing, who had murdered his father. So he's more than primed for the dark side.

In reality, there's no telling who is under that armour until DH decides to tell us, and I think pretty much every theory has already been brought up, so SOMEONE is bound to be right wink

I do think the facial tats and comments made by him point to Hett though.

Oh, and I was so surprised to see Colin Wilson doing art chores on Legacy! I absolutely love his work, and it's nice to see him getting more US work.

I think I like the idea of Vader's Apprentice ending up as one in the same as Krayt. It fits, as we don't know anything about this secret apprentice's past, he could very well be connected to the "Jedi of old." Plus, it seems more relevant than many of the other options. I don't like the idea of Krayt turning out to be Sora Bulq, Zekk, or Hett. No one cares about Bulq, Zekk's a loser, and Hett is a nobody (well, in my opinion anyways).

I still think it's Luke, driven to the dark side after Jacen kills Mara and/or Ben at the end of LOTF.

Krayt is Leia.

She knew Obi-Wan (of old), had minor brushes (I'd imagine) with the DS, could have ended the Skywalker line by a) not saving Luke at Cloud City and b) Never given birth to her children.

Flawless, absolutely flawless, I tell you.

I'm surprised no one has suggested Ganner Rhysode. I know he was last seen going down under a ton of Vong but do we ever see his body? He's big, he's been around the Vong, he knew Skywalker.

I just hope whoever it is isn't lame and someone most people know, not just a minor character that will have everyone saying "Who?"
