Hmmm... I'm dubious whether its premature to be rejoicing over the survival of the New Jedi Order. From what we know the Hidden Temple was set up during the Dark Times meaning it existed throughout the birth, growth and demise of Luke Skwalker's Jedi Order.
I kind of wonder whether this new "threat" that is not of the Sith is the Jedi in the image. If they have spent the last hundred and fifty years hidden then they may not be too pleased to have Cade Skywalker turning up on their doorstep.
I won't be surprised if the Hidden Temple are much more like the Old Jedi Order and have lived in exile ever since the Clone Wars, dismissive of anything carrying the name Skywalker. It would explain their lack of interest in Luke's Jedi Order and in turn their initial animosity toward Cade as well as the reason why they failed to step in during the Sith-Imperial War to prevent the Jedi Order's fall. The epitome of the anti-government Jedi.
Plus, I can see them wanting to use the Hidden Temple as a suitable retcon for all the new swathe of Jedi characters like the Secret Apprentice likely to crop up in the years ahead as they flesh out the Dark Times period. In that respect, I can easily see them making the Jedi there a complete bunch of recluses.

That's an interesting interpretation, Zorrixor, but I'm not sure I share it. I don't think the "Hidden Temple" is something separate from Luke's Order, existing in exile since the Dark Times, but rather a safe-house for Jedi to go to ground that's existed, unknown to anyone but Jedi, since at least the Purge. It was used after Order 66, may have been used during the Vong war, and is being used now by Jedi hiding from Krayt's Sith.
I mean, just look at it on the cover of issue #25: it's largely constructed from Clone Wars era ships, but at least half of them are Rebellion era, and at least one is an NR ship.

Yay, more Jedi, at last! Now if only Wolf Sazen could show up again. But if they say the galaxy is in shreds, sounds like Krayt's wrath is worse than him just razing some planet. Wonder if he releases some new plague or something, to explain a galaxy-wide disaster.
But yay, pro-active Cade! Not sure if he's ready to embrace being a Jedi yet, but at least he's actively trying to stop Krayt now. Wonder what the danger will be. Though not sure if these Secret Temple Jedi would be recluses. Its been mentioned that K'kruhk went looking for this Temple over a century ago, and since K'kruhk's resurfaced since then, this temple can't be that reclusive, especially with half the NJO on the run for the last seven years. Sounds like this Secret Temple will be a new arc until Vector or so.

Actually, I think that one in the back isn't a Zabrak. Look at the ears. More likely it's an Elomin.

New Jedi! 
This is exciting. Especially because this is a multi-issue arc, and one that will likely lead into Vector. We've always been told that the Vector arc in Legacy is 29 - 32 --- however, I've always been a bit cautious, since those are the October - January issues, and in the last issue of Rebellion, Freddye Lins actually identified them as 28 - 31. As such, it is my prediction that this is a three-issue arc, 25 - 27, that will lead directly into Vector, which will begin with Issue #28. Phew...
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes... more Jedi! And they're not human, either! I'm going to agree with BobaMatt on this one, and say that the Hidden Temple is likely something that's been used several times throughout history. K'Kruhk used it during Darth Vader's Purge, and then likely used it again during Darth Krayt's Purge. Which brings up several questions --- was K'Kruhk there, and if so, why did he leave? If Cade knows about it, does that mean that K'Kruhk revealed its existence to Kol Sywalker's Jedi Order? If Cade is bringing a threat to him, will the Temple no longer remain hidden?
K'Kruhk left because he wanted to help train Cade... but does that mean that he'll make his return in this issue? There was no closure to that explosion in Claws of the Dragon, blast it!

I really hope that some of those younglings seen on Cade and Shado's shuttle. Like the young Mon Calamarian, Nautolan, female Togruta, and the Zabrak. Plus there were a few young human children, IIRC.

 What's up with the low-res covers? Well, the hi-res will surely be around in a day or two.
Anyway, they really have problems keeping a consistent style for Bothans, lol. This one looks like a light-furred Shistavanen, sorta.

Wait, on the K'ruhk thing, I thought he was part of the NJO, helped train Cade, then Cade thought he had died when the Sith had attacked Ossus? Then we heard him say that he was on Toola, expecting to die there, when he felt a calling in the Force, which is why he returned to Ossus. Of course, that still leavs a gap of seven years, so he might've gone to the Hidden Temple, he might not have. All we know is that before he reappeared on Ossus to help finish Cade's training, he was on Toola.

Good call on the Elomin, I'd say.

Is it just me, or do the lightsabers of the three at the back look shorter than usual? At first I thought it was the angle, but even adjusted for that it still doesn't seem quite the same. Also, judging by the way the Togruta holds his lightsaber, it seems to have a curved hilt.
