Legacy #50: Extremes, part 3 (of 3)

Basically, whatever didn't kill him made him party harder?



I know...I know. My first post in ages and it's this sideways one. I'm a little put out that I missed the royal convo between you and Jello. That would have been fun.

Though, technically, I believe Jaina is a Royal Highness. Are we sure that the eldest surviving Honourable son of an Imperial peer is the correct marriage material for a Princess Royal?

*tries and fails to hold serious face*

I kid.

 

Just got to read the issue, one week later than everyone else. Meh, I hate it when I don't have time to go to the comic shop.

A fantastic issue, which of course leaves most running sub-plots hanging. I am very happy that we got the mini-series coming up, so that maybe most of them will get resolved. Although from what I got from the letters section, there will be more Legacy in 2011. It'd been very nice if Randy wouldn't have gotten all mysterious about it, so people would have had to worry less.

Anyway, great writing and artwork, Draco of course is alive and Krayt's back. It's really too bad we'll have to wait until December.

 

Cyn! My BFF!

Oh, Jello is adorable. We typically agree until it comes to Antares and then it's oppisite ends of the dance floor with Mustafar in the middle.

Jag is the son of an Imperial baron and Jaina is technically a princess, so I think that meets criteria. Not that it matters to either one of them.

 

Sinny,

You're SUPPOSED to be getting married, what the hell are you doing here?

Not that it isn't nice to see you, but you do have some very important matters to attend to, this'll wait, trust me, it's going nowhere.

We've until December to talk about this!

 

Think we should ban him to insure that he doesn't come back too soon?

 

We won't have to, he's married now, remember?

(In all seriousness I'm happy for the man but can't resist a bit of teasing as I approach our 6 years anniversary... )

 

So wait is Draco dead or not? The Wook says he is but an interview states he's an important part of the War arc.

 

One article was written by a fan, the other comes from someone who actually works on the comic. Which do you think is accurate?

 

Hey, screw you! I worked hard on that article.

lawl jokes. But to answer your question, Katarns --- The statement that he'll be an important part of the War arc is an open-ended one. For all we know, it could be through flashbacks, it could be about his legacy, hell, he could even be a Force ghost. Until we know for sure that he survived, good form dictates indicating in the Wook article that he's dead. But I've made a note about the statement from the intervew in his behind the scenes section.

 

The question is Sinre:
Did she wear Leia-buns with her white dress to the ceremony?

 

A flashback to his childhood or a Force ghost playing a 'major role' in a six issue tie-up?

That's pushing it Jeff.

TO BE CLEAR I'M NOT SPEAKING FOR JAN () but the way I read the article, the only reasonable way to interprete her statement, given the context, is that he's very much alive.

But there's no proof he's dead. No one said he was dead, either In-Universe or Out, and we don't have a body. Sia and Ganner shout "No!" (it's never stated they felt his death.) And Shado says, 'a good man has fallen,' non of which is any kind of proof that he's dead, much less conclusive proof.

So it seems good form would dictate giving him the benefit of the doubt (given Jan's statement) until we actually have proof that he's dead?

Thank you for that. Still, at this point, given what we have I think its reaching to list a death year and say that he's definatively dead.

Oh, absolutely he does and I'm so good with that. The only problem I have with it is Niin's treatment of Sia, why torture Roan's child if you're in kahoots with him? The only answer I can come up with is that he wanted to fuel Draco's fire, literally. If so, it worked because Antares is pissed off. But still, it's a long shot. What I think is more likely is that Niin is playing both sides.

 

Rule #01 of SF:

If you don't see a body, they ain't dead.

If no one detects the death, they ain't dead.

Even if there is a body, they ain't guaranteed to be dead.

 

Yes! I knew that Admiral Nict didn't die at Caamas. When the Pride of Corellia exploded, he jumped into an escape pod and was captured by the Sith!

We are talking about Nict, right?

--Adm. Nick

 

The force of the explosion was such that Nict was blasted to molecules, yet somehow he remained as energy and was later resurrected by an esoteric force technique so he could gain revenge upon the Sith!

Yes, it's technobabble, but it's fun.

 

Unfortunately, we write articles based on evidence, not assumptions. Conclusive proof? Not at all. But evidence still. Believe me, I'm as certain of his survival as all of you. But, alas, we must wait until December to know for sure...

 

Damn, that's a lot of smileys.

 

Isn't the goal of such an endeavor as the Wookieepedia to present the most accurate information possible?

I'd suggest there are far more accurate ways to present Antares Draco's fate than to make assumptions from subjective text and the POV of characters not actually present for his death?

I mean they don't even say that they felt him die, the closest we get to that is Shado's "A good man has fallen" statement. There are all kinds of meanings that could be attached to that.

I just don't think there is enough information to make any definitve claim about his demise based upon those panels. It's a fan hypothosis.

I think a simple statement along the lines of "Antares Draco may have been killed but this is yet to be confirmed" would be far more accurate than what is currently there.

 

They are presenting the most accurate information, it's just that authors/LFL/Lucas don't realize it yet...

 

I always thought there were several Admiral Nicts, a long line streaching back to the dark days of Daala.

It's a good thing you're not a Wookieepedia editor, then.

Because under that logic, Azard shouldn't be assumed dead. Gial Gahan shouldn't be assumed dead. And a whole ton of other characters that we've seen die in Legacy's pages. Draco is identical to them --- except with more evidence. His two closest friends shout "No" when they feel him die, and Shado states that he has "fallen". Comics are visual media without the benefit of internal narrative explicitly stating that they felt him die, so why not argue that every SW comic ever is subjective? Wookieepedia strives to be accurate, not to present fan theories as canon. If you disagree, this isn't really the place to argue it. Take it to Draco's talk page on the wook.
