The guy in the picture looks like a cross betwen Luke Skywalker and Zayne Carrick.

Jacen? I know the series isn't focusing on that particular set of wonder twins so it might not be, but it's close enough to seem like an intentional resemblance created to make people in the know ask themselves "is that...?" and buy the book to find out.


I thought it was Jacen too. The green lightsaber and brown hair. Though I guess it could be any Jedi, really.

One of the reasons I'm excited for this comic is that we'll get to see visual depictions of minor NJO characters (besides the Solo/Skywalker clans, who were on the book covers). The NEGtC didn't have that great of a selection.

Well Jacen had a green lightsaber during the Vong war.

I knew it was Luke on the cover.

He was younger then, only 45, not even a father yet!

It is now a thin brown bar to the left. Rebelscum appears to be acting up and the image dropped out.

Not to mention Vong tech and such. We got some brief glimpses of it in Legacy but the overall quantity of graphics is pretty low for something that was an 18 book story.

That was back in the day when they used to be called "sourcebooks".

Also, there were two Tales comics. tongue

Revenants was one, back during Tales' "maybe/maybe not canon" era (though it's been referenced many a time since then), about Han finding Boba training new Mandos on Raxus Prime. Then there was the Kyle Katarn one from Tales' canon era.

Oh yeah, and then outside Tales there was Chewbacca.

Based on the link confirming that it's Luke: how does a Jedi send Vong flying... with the Force... when they're... Vong?

Same way you throw a rock. It's been done in the books, just...not this early in the war...

Jacen actually has a shocking amount of images during the NJO (though he does get a bit shafted pre-SBS), as do most other major characters; it's only really post-NJO that we get the real drought of any significant amount of images of, well, anyone. Basically, from DN on, we've got the one-character American book covers, the shockingly non-lineuppy Japanese DN cover art, a handful of bad Minis cards, and about two EGTTF pictures.

For the NJO, we have American and Japanese book covers for all 19 books which tend to show a multiplicity of characters, the Chewbacca comic, the Katarn Tales comic (I'll ignore the still-substantially-noncanon Fett one), the NJOSB, several EGTTF pictures, NEGTC, NEGTVV, NEGTAS (and I think the original EGTAS), the NEC, and I think even a handful of other miscellaneous sources providing illustrations for the area. It's far from perfect, especially in coverage of brand-new EU characters, but it's pretty solid coverage, especially for the real main cast. Not ye-olde-days-of-WEG-and-Topps-and-Decipher saturation, but respectable, and significantly better than post-NJO.
