I'd like to see what the general opinion of the time era of the Legacy Comics is. Should it have been placed even earlier after LOTF, or later, instead of 100 years in the future to 1000 years in the future? Opinions?

I like the time in which they set it just fine.

You don't find it slightly unsettling that Luke's Jedi Order didn't even last over 150 years?

It's lucky it lasted that long.
I'm Ok with the time scale.

Nope. The order isn't not completely destroyed anyways. Most of the Jedi just scattered to points unknown.

... Luke's Jedi Order still exists as of Legacy. What are you talking about?
Sure, Krayt THOUGHT that the last of the Jedi would die on the Day Of His Glorious Ascent To Power... but about half of them got away.
So, yeah, not seeing it.

How about the fact that the Empire rose back to power in 100 years? The GA didn't even last 500 years!

I'd have been happier if they'd scrapped Hett and bumped it back at least a few decades.

I personally wish Legacy had been set at a later date. That doesn't mean I don't like it but I wish it would have been even another hundred years later to get rid of what I see as Unnecessary Prequal connections. I don't think Krayt had to be Hett and the whipid's inclusion just annoys me.
I also dislike that it locks the current RoTJ time frame EU into a set course.
That said I consider Legacy the best Star Wars EU in the Post RoTJ time frame being published so while there are things I wish had been done differently I can deal with happening where it is.
As long as Vos never shows up.

People that cherish moral relativism will never understand the objection OP, they cheer evil winning.
They embrace Luke's humiliation and failure. They smile with glee at the enslavement of the innocent masses, who have no champions just hateful abusers.
Legacy is a disaster for SW. Has really ruined it entirely, IMO. It's over for me. In my mind, SW ended with TUF. The last book that resembled SW at all.

I never cared much for the GA(I didn't see it lasting long anyways), and the Fel Empire couldn't have been as bad as Palps or Krayt's

I think the time frame works very well: it's far enough removed that the galaxy has changed from the familiar, but not so far in the future as to be unrecognizable.

The GA was never going to work. I'm surprised the OR did. To many diverse species pulling in the wrong direction. They are all happy doing each other over and letting the Galaxy go down the pan.

Just right, Goldilocks, now eat your porridge.
Really, Legacy has proven itself to be very popular, and many consider it to be the best thing the EU has going for it right now. Luke's Jedi have not failed, the GA is not dead, the Empire has been becoming steadily less offensive since Endor, and it can't be said that evil wins because the story's not over yet. Really, I don't buy most of the arguments against because they're not supported by the text.

I really like the time scale, actually. I think it gives them a unique chance to play with some familiar elements without a need to rely on anything too close or familiar to what we know. Hett and K'kruhk's inclusion doesn't really bother me either way. And the fact that the Jedi order has been scattered doesn't really affect me a whole lot at all. I think they really left themselves the most open doors storywise this way, so I'm great with it.
As far as "ruining" other things, I really don't think it does. There's still almost a century between it and LotF, so there's plenty of time to do other things in there. What the authors have chosen and will choose to do is another story entirely, of course, but the truth is that there's more than enough opportunity for storytelling in there. What is done with that opportunity remains to be seen, but the fact that Legacy is "so close" (it really isn't, if you think about it... that's like claiming that having the NJO out there limits the ability of prequel-era writers, and, well... it doesn't) is not the determining factor there.
