With the surprise announcement of KOTOR's end, I began to wonder how in the world LEGACY could possibly wrap itself up if we were told the series would end within a year or so.

So, if we were told LEGACY would also with its 50th issue... how could you see it wrapping up so quickly? What would need to have happened? What surprise twists or revelations would you expect, that would wrap up many issues while connecting them all together?

How would you picture it ending, if it had to relatively soon?



What would happen to: Cade, Jariah Syn, Deliah Blue, Roan Fel, Marasiah, Jaeger, Antares Draco, Ganner Krieg, Azlyn Rae, Sigel Dare, Treis Sinde, K'kruhk, T'ra Saa, Tili Qua, Tobias Sun, Mai, Wolf Sazen, Rasi Tuum, Nei Rin, Liaan Lah, Choka Skell, Shado Vao & Astraal Vao, Konrad Rus, Ethan Adare, Queen Jool & Finn, Naxy Screeger, Rav, Chak & Kee, Vul Isen & Darth Azard, Bantha and family, Talon, Nihl, Stryfe, Maladi, Wyyrlok III & Saarai, Gar Stazi, Morlish Veed, Nyna Calixte/Morrigan Corde, Rulf Yage, Gunner Yage & Skull Squadron, Monia Gahan & Rogue Squadron . . .



. . . any legacy of Hosk Trey'lis and Elke Vetter, any follow-up to Jariah and his father's legacy and that Arkanian girl, the truth about Darth Krayt's death being revealed, why Krayt spared Talon, why Wyyrlok asked Krayt to spare Nihl, Nihl and his new Vong arm, any background on Deliah "Blue", any legacy for Krayt's father Sharad or Jedi lover Xiaan Amersu, resolution to Cade/Talon and Cade/Azlyn and Cade/Deliah, the truth behind Vergere and Krayt, the alliance between GA/Jedi/Fel, Black Sun, Rav's oath to Darth Maladi, Marasiah's mother, Roan's mysterious female sparring partner, the mystery spy for Fel, Wyyrlok encouraging the creation of more Leviathans and Sith Monsters, what Bantha was building for Clan Vos, Sekot & the Yuuzhan Vong, Dac & the GA Remnant, Coruscant & the Moff Council, Bastion & the Fel Insurgency, Korriban & the One Sith, the Hidden Temple & the New Jedi Order, fate of the Mon Calamari, will Attatag Gosem ever appear, R2-D2's role, C-3PO?, Nyna/Morrigan's relationships with the Yages and with Veed, Veed becoming Regent and the Imperial Mission's transformation, Wyyrlok's vision of one Sith galaxy, Cade & his family/destiny/legacy, etc.

Just because this is the way rumors get started -- Legacy is NOT ending with issue #50.

IF, Legacy were to end so abruptly, I would like to see a deluxe ending issue and/or an extension via characters in another series ;(
And get that stuff with the Yuuzhan Vong sorted out.

Of course it isn't, phew.

Good! grin grin grin

That's why I tried to emphasize the "if."

Personally, I have no idea how it could wrap up even with 30 more issues. It feels like we're still in the beginning stages of the Alliance, Cade is still trying to find his own destiny, Wyyrlok's plan is just beginning...

Agreed. The following will probably occur by the story's end:

*terrible action on Wyrrlok's part (like genocide)
*the anti-Sith alliance grows and gets in its sucker punch at the Sith.
*liberation of Dac
*Cade/Jedi vs Wyrrlok/Sith
*Rogue Squadron v. Skull Squadron
*Calixte v. Sith or bounty hunter or imperial agent
*Grand Master Rosh Penin saves everyone

for those skipping to the last post, 50 ISNT THE LAST ISSUE!

Mr Ostrander doesn't have enough material to make it to 50! I knew it! LEGACY IS ENDING AT Issue #44. You heard it first. Other pieces of evidence.

- There are no issues past #44 listed on the dark horse web site.
- Cade is clearly dead on the cover of issue #44

See, clear as day. You heard it here, first.

So, it's only a rumour (started by the author) that Legacy is NOT ending with #50? beatup

While I can see DG's thinking, I don't see it happening - not least because there's way too much going on in Legacy.

Well, to get this back on track, I think it's an interesting "what if" game.

This is the stuff that I think would defnitely need closure to make for a satisfying ending with most major threads adressed that doesn't scream "setup for the sequel" (most already aligned in a possible story context):

- Cade embracing his destiny, finally growing back into the role of his father's son (and a Jedi)

- the One Sith crumbling, especially because Wyrrlok gets killed - preferrably from within, to show that the Sith system will never work

- Alliance and Empire working together to oppose the Sith, because Wyrrlok's become way too brutal (complete with deserting troops)

- the Empire actually changing its course of action because Marasiah took over for her father, who just got killed (took out Wyrrlok thanks to his traiterous contacts in the Sith Empire?)

- the Mon Cal genocide is stopped before too many got killed

- something with Morrigan, maybe a sacrifice like taking Veed with her to leave the Sith Empire without leadership

I could see that as a major 4-part finale arc... thinking I think you could work most if not all side characters into that story.

And I doubt that I really forgot anything that would really need to be addressed (in my opinion).

That is a massive relief! Legacy is THE best thing to ever happen to the EU, hope we see it run for many more years...and then how about a film trilogy and a video game?

No, why should it be closed?
You missed the point of this thread entirely.

This was never about Legacy really ending with issue 50, it was about a fictional scenario. What would need to happen and what would be less important if the end was near.
