Legacy #2

Star Wars: Legacy #2 was published by Dark Horse Comics in 2006 as part of an ambitious expansion of the Star Wars expanded universe. Set more than a century after the events of the original film trilogy, the series was conceived by writers John Ostrander and Jan Duursema to explore the future of the galaxy under a new Sith regime. The narrative focuses on Cade Skywalker, a disillusioned bounty hunter and the last heir to the Skywalker lineage, as he navigates a landscape where the Jedi Order has been nearly eradicated once again.

The visual identity of the series was spearheaded by Jan Duursema, whose pencils defined the aesthetic of the era. Aiming for a grittier, more mature tone than previous comic adaptations, the creative team focused on complex political intrigue and the internal struggles of a protagonist attempting to distance himself from his legacy. The issue was well-regarded by fans and critics of the time for its bold narrative departure and for successfully establishing a distinct, darker chapter within the long-running Star Wars publishing history.
