Who wants Roan Fel to be related to Anakin Skywalker?

It would be interesting if he was a skywalker descendant, but somehow I don't think he is. If he was and there existed this whole other branch of Anakins' descendant, then what makes Cade so important to the Skywalker Legacy? I love the Legacy comics but i am confused as to whether it's the fact that his last name is Skywalker or that he's of Anakins' bloodline that's more important.

 

It seems politics would favor Leia's side of the bloodline as opposed to Luke's.

 

I would like to see the Fel despot to be a Skywalker-Solo -descendant. Grandson of Jaina and Captain Cardboard. Not just some spawn of Corellian hicks. Better him to be part of the Skywalker-Solo Legacy, the main story of SW, than just the Antilles and Fel families. A negative part of, it of course.

 

I really don't care. I mean I want Jaina to hook up with Jag and start the Imperial family, but it is really more important for me that he is a Fel. That's all I really need to know

 

I would prefer he not be, actually.

 

Not me. Its a big galaxy. I don't need everyone to be connected. In fact, I would hate this idea, "oh no not again"

 

The despot is almost certainly one of "those" Fels and so a descendant of the Antilles family too. So why not make him also a member of the Skywalker-Solo family?

 

I agree. After reading Legacy Broken, I think it's just about the name and it may actually be Marasiah that's the Skywalker that can unite the Jedi. If she's Jaina's descendant, she's just as much a Skywalker as Cade is, making Roan just as much a Skywalker (in blood) as Kol is.

 

I'd like to see him as a Skywalker decendent, however I want it to also be a Jacen Solo decendent. Meaning, a daughter of Allana gets together with a member of the Fel family. So that gives us an even more checkered background between light and dark.

 

I agree with the above (Allana's kid + Fel).

Jaina and Jag is a hores beaten to death. It should rest in peace now.

 

Well, I like Jag/Jaina, so I'm biased. I'd like to see the two of them ruling the Empire. I'd like Roan and Marasiah to be their descendants....

But the interesting thing is that Kruhl - and perhaps even Maladi back in #1 - seemed not to know about Roan Fel being a Force-using Imperial Knight.

is it possible that Jaina - or whoever brings the Force into the family - does so under an assumed name? That would certainly fit with the apparent secrecy of Fel's abilities, and might also explain why the Jedi think that Cade is the only Skywalker.

Outside of the Knights, has anyone except Krayt and Callixte been confirmed as knowing that Roan Fel has the Force?

Leading to another question: was Mohrgan a Fel? A Skywalker? Or even a Djo?

- The Imperial Ewok

 

Good Point!

 

Perhaps Mohrgan was not his first name, but his last name? But if it was his first name, his last could well have been Corde...

 

Who cares about Anakin Skywalker? As long as Roan's related to Jaina.

You mean aside from the fact that only a blazing moron wouldn't recognize Roan's ceremonial armor in his public appearances as a more ornate version of Imperial Knight armor - especially when he's standing right next to them?

And how, exactly, would the fact that the heir to the throne (Roan) was personally commanding the Imperial Knights during his father's reign have been kept secret?

Sometimes I really wonder where you get your inferences...

 

Has it been confirmed that Roan Fel was publicly an Imperial Knight during the reign of his father - of whom we do not know anything, basically - as I think that was just a possibility mentioned by the authors?

 

QFT.

He has a cloak and some sort of body armour, that's all. I see no design details that indicate a similarity between either this, or the costume he wears in #1 and #8, and the Imperial Knight armour. Nor can I find a frame which shows his lightsaber ever visible in public.

Fel does seem to be wearing an ornate version of Imperial Knight armour in #6 and on the cover of #13, but neither situation is exactly in public, and I'd assume that Fel's senior command personnel know that he's Force-sensitive.

Alternatively, it could be that the reference is the other way around - the Imperial Knights actually wear armour that carries the distinctive colours of the Emperor.

Body armour over "Vader leather" clothing isn't exactly unusual in Star Wars: Legacy. Stormies (white), TIE pilots (black) and even Cade (old Mando plate and Vader pants) all wear it. The fact that Fel's armour plate is red (at least on the shoulders, upper torso, and forearms) doesn't quite confirm that it's "Imperial Knight" armour.

It's possible, yes, that Fel is known to be a Force-sensitive Imperial Knight, that his red armour is specifically IK armour, and that he wears it in public. But so far, I know of no evidence to show any of these things.

Also, re-reading Broken, Talon's reactions to Sia are interesting: it looks like she didn't know that the Princess was Force-sensitive, or indeed an Imperial Knight, until the fight on Vendaxa. If Jaina changed her name/identity to join Jag, that would also add a lot of weight - and perhaps some subtle testing - to Sia's discussion with Cade in #5.

This would, probably, cause a problem - but, like Rouge77, I'd like to know what the canon evidence is for it...?

Well, you see, I have this donkey that I keep them in, pulling them out as required...

- The Imperial Ewok

 

Logic and common sense say that if he's related to Jaina, he's related to Anakin Skywalker.

And I care about Anakin Skywalker, but the two really mean the same thing. I don't think the lineage would come from anywhere else but Jaina. Unless they did it to throw us. I don't care about the Jaina/Jag pairing so if they do that, I'd be fine with it and it would be a really sweet twist. And show those of us who think we know so much that we don't.

 

It's in #5: Sia draws her 'saber on the right-hand side of the centrefold, and on the next page, Talon reacts: "I feel the Force surge through you, Princess. Vetter was... your Master! But you are not a knight. Not yet -- merely a student."

We've known since #0 that Roan is a fully-trained Imperial Knight, and that Sia was in training as well; but within the events of the story, it was revealed through Sia telling Astraal that she felt Vetter's death through the Force at the end of #2 - possibly a slip of the tongue in grief and fear - and then through her attempted mind-trick on Cade in #3:

Cade: "Playing a hunch, Jariah. Human thinks I'm some kind of weak-willed koochu -- tried a Jedi 'mind trick.' Her arrogance suggests an Imperial."

Jariah: "An Imperial Knight? That could be worth a few creds!"

Cade: "More than a few creds. Take a look at what I've found." (picture of Sia appears on screen) "Remind you of anyone?"

Deliah: "That's former Princess Marasiah Fel -- snarky attitude and all! She's worth a lot of creds!"

None of which actually indicates that Sia comes up under "Imperial Knights". "More than a few creds" could be a tangent, rather than a logical train of thought.....

If Cade knows in advance, it could be because he has the inside line, being a Skywalker and all...

- The Imperial Ewok

 

on the one hand, i don't want Jaina to end up with Jag. but on the other hand, having the Fel carry Skywalker blood does make them potentially more capable and impressive as Force users and yet again shows that Skywalkers will inevitably keep ruling the galaxy (Vader practially did, Leia did, Jacen is, that's 3 for 3 generationally speaking).

so i guess i'm of two minds on this issue. since you said related to Anakin Skywalker not Jaina in particular i'll say yes.

 

Who wants Roan Fel to be related to Anakin Skywalker?

I really like the idea. Skywalkers are a family that has played an important role in the history of the GFFA. And them actually sitting on the throne of the galactic Empire one day, especially after their bloodlines and bonds with the same institution, seems amazing. It is one of the great, destiny motifs in Star Wars, very epic and very similar to even Tolkien's works.

And I see Emperor Fel being more Jaina's descendant is somehow even better. He's not just form the Anakin's bloodline, he is a member of the Skywalker-Solo clan. And that's great.
Also, Force-users are somehow better rulers of the galaxy and a leader being from the most important Force-user family out there makes the story even more interesting.

 

I do, yes, although Soontir must be Fel I.

 

Soontir might have been intended to be Fel I when Legacy was planned, before they knew anything about LotF. As the Chiss - or part of them - might well part of the Empire in Legacy based on the Chiss Moff, he could well have then united the Chiss Ascendancy and/or the Empire of the Hand with the Imperial Remnant. But now it looks very unlikely that he would be the first Fel Emperor, who instead most likely will be Jagged, but almost certainly not yet in LotF.
