Star Wars: Legacy #7
Star Wars: Legacy, Volume 7: Storms
Legacy continues to expand into the uncharted future of the Star Wars universe!
A shakeup in the Sith leadership has made the galaxy a worse place, not a better one. On the planet of Dac, the Mon Calamari are still feeling the wrath of Darth Krayt—their punishment for betraying the Sith Empire. Meanwhile, a victory has turned sour—and possibly deadly—for Cade Skywalker and his companions. And the Galactic Alliance comes closer to forming an alliance with deposed Emperor Roan Fel’s forces against their mutual enemy. Now, if they can just agree on who that enemy is…

John Ostrander
2,087 books170 followersJohn Ostrander is an American writer of comic books. He is best known for his work on Suicide Squad, Grimjack and Star Wars: Legacy, series he helped create.
Originally an actor in a Chicago theatre company, Ostrander moved into writing comics in 1983. His first published works were stories about the character "Sargon, Mistress of War", who appeared the First Comics series Warp!, based on a series of plays by that same Chicago theatre company. He is co-creator of the character Grimjack with Timothy Truman, who originally appeared in a back up story in the First Comics title, Starslayer, before going on to appear in his own book, again published by First Comics in the mid 1980s. First Comics ceased publication in 1991, by which time Ostrander was already doing work for other comics companies (his first scripts for DC Comics were published in 1986).
Prior to his career in comic books, Ostrander studied theology with the intent of becoming a Catholic priest, but now describes himself as an agnostic. His in-depth explorations of morality were later used in his work writing The Spectre, a DC Comics series about the manifestation of the wrath of God. His focus on the character's human aspect, a dead police detective from the 1930s named Jim Corrigan, and his exploration of moral and theological themes brought new life to a character often thought of as impossible to write. He has also worked on Firestorm, Justice League, Martian Manhunter, Manhunter, Suicide Squad, and Wasteland for DC.

The Mon Calamari are being hunted into extinction while some of their race fight back.
After what appears to be a successful assassination attempt on Darth Krayt, Cade Skywalker and his friends struggle to keep Azlyn Rae alive.
Storms is clearly the follow up to some massive events because the pace slowed down significantly. The volume features another look at the Mon Calamari and the Imperial Knight who fights with them and also the Galactic Alliance Fleet fighting alongside the former emperors forces. Nothing particularly good or bad happened although one interesting event occurred that is sure to impact the future volumes.

Is all sweet on Delilah Blue and assuring her of his feelings for her. Makes out with and tells Azlyn he loves her. So gross and fickle, at least Anakin knew who he loved and was loyal tsk. When I ignore Cade Skywalker, the story is actually interesting and fun.

The best episodes of this volume focus on the ethical dilemmas and moral ambiguities of the war, which was a nice break from following Cade around while he continues to make bad decisions and then run away from them. Crazy things are happening and the plot is thickening ever so nicely, so its a little grating that Cade is still pretty much the same guy he was in the Volume 1. At least there is plenty of other things afoot to keep this series engaging, and Ostrander sure knows how to write a mean war story.

I don’t read series very well. Generally, I try to read series in order, because usually they make more sense that way, but I’m not always successful.
If I do read them in order, I sometimes forget that I’m reading a series. I get easily distracted, and I tend to start other series before finishing off the other one. Sometimes, it takes months or years for me to get back into a series I took a break from, and by that time, I’ve basically forgotten what the hell was going on in the series.
So, yeah, I’m a bad series-reader.
One series I started over a year ago and have just now come back to is Star Wars Legacy, a Dark Horse Comics series from the late-‘oughts.
The last one I read was back in August 2020. It was okay, if a little disappointing. Maybe that’s why I took a pause in the series. Or maybe it’s because there is a global pandemic on, and I was depressed and anxiety-ridden and in the throes of existential terror. Who knows?
Anyhoo: Volume 7, “Storms”: the Mon Calamari are being hunted down in a genocidal assault by the Empire, but a Jedi Master, Sinde, has vowed to protect them to his last breath; a daring attempt by Admiral Gar Stazi, with cooperation from the Emperor-in-exile Roan Fel, to apprehend a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers leads to a bloodbath in space; Darth Krayt is believed to be dead, but he’s not, which is a disappointment to a lot of people; Azlyn Rae is dying, but Cade Skywalker refuses to let her go; he makes a lot of bad decisions…
This series continues to keep my attention, although at this point, I think it’s mainly because of all the pretty pictures…

4 Stars. "I really liked it"

Fight Another Day follows in the footsteps of Legacy: Indomitable and The Wrath of the Dragon. Omar Francia once more provides incredible art for a smaller military-focused story that doesn't involve Cade Skywalker. I can already hear the Cade haters jubilating. I suppose, if the aforementioned arcs were Allston- and Stackpole-coded, then this strikes me as the Greg Keyes story: a better look at Mon Cal culture and how it relates to Imperial Knight Treis Sinde and his own loyalties. My favorite part would be the antagonist, Sith scientist Vul Isen, a glorious piece of cheese who exhibits a fun dynamic with his colleague Darth Maleval. I rank this story below Indomitable but above Wrath.
Storms sees the return of Cade. Uh oh. To be fair, I can very much see the criticism here: he's never stooped this low since the series started, picking up a fight in the streets with a gang just because before beating up the authorities and evading his cousin. Doing some other terrible stuff. The arc's name says it all, both literally - there's a lasting storm - and figuratively. Everyone suffers, and comes out diminished. After the lull of Vector, Ostrander is back on his A-game, and Duursema's art delights me more than usual. It's interesting that we've reached this emotional low point in such a small story - though I suppose the Tatooine TPB will dive a bit deeper.
Renegade jumps back to Francia/Mili SciFi and stuns. Fleet campaigns, tenuous alliances, and ethical dilemmas. Gar Stazi rocks, and Francia's depiction is hilarious as ever. It's issues like this that shape Legacy into not just a good story, but a compelling setting, as well.
Omar Francia left the Legacy team after this outing, and he'll stick out in my mind as one of its greatest creative minds.

Re-read
Please note that this comic series is now part of Legends, and is no longer canon within the Star Wars expanded universe.
The Mon Calamari really are the punching bags of Star Wars villains, hey? If you are sensitive to child death, this volume is not for you.
If you read the reviews for this volume, you'll realise that the Star Wars: Legacy (Collected Editions) Series doesn't actually have a Volume 6! Instead the series jumps from Volume 5 to Star Wars: Vector, Vol. 2 then to this volume. That means Volume 7 has the unenviable position of recapping the events in the odd crossover volume for readers who could not work out why it's impossible to acquire the non-existent Volume 6. As for me, I knew that there was no Volume 6 but I could not locate the crossover volume, alas.

Not quite as good as Volume 6, but it maintains the overall quality of the saga. "Fight another day" and "Renegade" lack the presence of Duursema, and still they offer a refreshing take on the story, while the title arc, "Storms", is actually pretty much of the same inner conflicts among the sith and Cade's feelings. More than halfway through the story, and with a main character absolutely absent for now, the ending is not on the horizon - and I doubt it will be for at least one or two volumes more.

After the explosive events of vol.6, this volume is a lot slower, and deals with the fallout of the events of the last volume, and progresses some of the side plots. The Mon calamari storyline was great, the Galactic Alliance issue was interesting and progressed that plotline nicely and the main arc "storms" mostly dealt with the fallout from previous events, and did some setup for the next big arc, tatoinne, which I imagine is going to focus on some Character development for cade. All in all a fantastic volume, and a definite recommend!

Three stories:
first one is about the Calamari... not my favorite story, but it was different.. Good different? well, just a little ;)
In the second one we're going back to our main characters.. Cade trying so save his friend Azlyn.. Did enjoy this more, where they go deeper into the characters..
And then we're off for the final part, Renegade... an interesting conclusion, so far ;)

Tady už to zase začíná peckovat. Sice jsou to dva menší příběhy, ale jsou zajímavější a není tam nucený fanservis z Vector série. A je fajn že je to pomalejší
May 17, 2011
The Mon Calamari are stepping up to try and fight off the attacks they are receiving on their homeworld, which is now called Dac. Emperor Darth Krayt ordered a massacre of the population and placement of all survivors in work camps after their alleged betrayal in assisting the hijacking of a new Stardestroyer being constructed in orbit around their planet. The fight is not going well for the underwater natives, but that is not stopping them from fighting.
Just as all seems lost, they find hope in Master Sinde, an Imperial Knight who has been trapped on the planet by the battle. While his allegiance lies with the Galactic Empire, he cannot help but feel compassion for the people he has been working with for some time. He decides to help them out despite orders from Emperor Roan Fel.
At the same time, Cade Skywalker is fleeing to the home of his uncle Bantha Rawk and his wife Droo, who hav resettled on Droo's homeworld of Kiffex. At the conclusion of the last volume, Cade's childhood friend and lover Azlyn Rae was seriously injured during the attempt to slay Emperor Darth Krayt. While it proved to be an epic battle and a success, Azlyn is floating on the edge of death. Only Cade's healing Force power is keeping her alive until they can get her some serious medical attention, and things don't look to good.
While Azlyn is getting that attention, Cade falls into a sense of brooding, pushing everyone away. He fights with Deliah Blue, who he claims is jealous of his reconnection with Azlyn. Syn decides that the best thing to do is getting him away from the family compound, and the two head down to a local pub. Unfortunately, they end up in a fight with other smugglers, bringing in the authorities. In a surprise, the authorities who arrive are lead by Ahnah, the daughter of Droo and Bantha. This makes for a touch situation, particularly in light of the feelings that have been developing between Syn and Ahnah.
The Sith are also struggling to deal with the results of the recent assassination attempt on their emperor. Darth Myynock has taken the reigns of the empire as regent, but not everyone is happy with that. What will that mean when the tattooed Force-wielders start turning on each other?
The story is continuing to move along at an interesting pace, weaving together the four perspectives of the Galactic Alliance, the Galactic Empire, the Sith Empire, and Cade and his friends.

I like that this volume continues multiple story threads. After the events of Vector, Cade tries to get Azlyn Rae healed in the "Storms" arc. She is put in a Vader-like suit, which I'm glad doesn't closely resemble Vader. She is resentful toward Cade because of this. Nice to see consequences in this series. And in the "Fight Another Day" arc that takes around the same time, Sinde Treis fights alongside the Mon Calamari against Sith forces led by Darth Azard and an interesting Sith scientist named Vul Isen. There are fascinating parallels on both sides as allies work together. The one-shot "Renegade" follows Gar Stazi as he questions Roan Fel's empire as trustworthy allies. Out of these three stories, I'd say I enjoyed "Storms" the most, then "Fight Another Day," then "Renegade." I kinda wish that the arcs in this TPB had been presented in more of a chronological order ("Storms," then "Fight Another Day," then "Renegade") so that the readers would know what takes place when and would jump immediately into the aftermath of Vector after reading those events.

Malgré la défaite de Darth Krayth, les Sith continuent à éliminer les Calamariens pendant qu'ils mettent en état de stase pour éviter qu'il succombe à ses blessures. L'attaque des Sith n'a que peu de résistance jusqu'à l'arrivé de grand Chevalier Impérial. De son côté, Cade Skywalker essaie de tout faire pour sauver son amie Azlyn de la mort. Malheureusement, son entêtement aura des conséquences très négative pour la jeune femme.
C'est un bon tome dans la série mais sans plus. J'ai bien aimé l'ajout de Master Sinde lors de la batailles dans les mers de Dac. J'ai aussi aimé l'attaque conjointe de la flotte de l'Empereur Fel et de l'Alliance Galactique. La partie à propos de Cade Skywalker n'était pas vilaine non plus mais j'ai trouvé que ce tome ne faisait que très peu avancer l'histoire en général. J'espère que le prochain tome sera meilleur à ce niveau.
Côté art, il n'y a rien à redire, tout a été déjà dit dans les tomes précédents.

Another volume of setting things up for major storyarcs later on... Not that this book wasn't totally entertaining, but it did feel an awful lot like waiting for things to happen. The Mon Calamari are enslaved by the Sith, the New Empire and Alliance have formed a shaky partnership, and Darth Wyrrlock has secretly seized control of the Sith through his deception over Darth Krayt's death. And of course Cade Skywalker & company are wreaking havoc and making bad choices as always. It's been made pretty clear in previous stories that Cade is not exactly the best judge of a situation, and when it comes to his dying friends he is proven even less capable of doing the right thing when he lies to ensure that his former Jedi-now-Imperial Knight friend will live with the help of a bacta suit similar to Darth Vader's. A lot of the action that did occur in this book is clearly in preparation for some major drama in the future, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.

This one feels like a bit of a wheel-spinner in the larger Star Wars: Legacy series. We follow up on momentous happenings in the last volume with a step back, first to look at a genocidal campaign against the Mon Calamari, with an attendant resistance, and then a shift over to Cade Skywalker and his crew, who don't seem to know what to do in the wake of their win other than get ripped and pick fights with local policeman.
There is some interesting character development here, notably for Cade. These issues definitely reinforce that he's not savior material; instead he's selfish and impulsive, disregarding others' wants to focus on what's best for him. Huge events are moving into place around him, but he just wants to indulge himself as he sees fit.
It remains to be seen whether he'll be present for his upcoming date with destiny, always a big force in the Star Wars universe. I'm interested to follow up, but I hope the next volume has a bit more development.

I love the sketchbook in the back!
"Fight Another Day"
- I feel so bad for the Mon Calamari. And their treatment as captives is devastating.
- I agree with Tanquar that Sinde seems quite contradictory. I'm glad to see a change later on.
- The sea leviathan is chilling. Though it is super weird that it gains sentience of those it devours.
- I like how we're explicitly told the difference between Jedi and Imperial Knights.
"Renegade"
- The space scenes are BEAUTIFUL
- This entire subsection confused me.
"Storms"
- Blue on Azlyn vs. Taalon is perfect. I still feel awful for her though. I hate how Cade treats them all - and himself.
- This is my favorite section. I do tend towards Jedi/Sith, especially in the comics (sans X-Wing).
- I don't like how Roan Fel is so....harsh though. He seems different than at the start of the series.

This collection does Star Wars on its grand scale. Large scale space battles and person-to-person underwater fights are both included. It's a bit schizophrenic in its presentation - the issues are only loosely connected plotwise, and Cade and co. only show up in one of them - the rest focus on other areas, as the fallout from the Krayt's situation spins out in various factions across the galaxy. As a reintroduction to the series (after a few months' break) this isn't ideal, but eventually I was able to recall who all the major players were. It feels very much like Star Wars, but not nearly as personally-focused. The large scale of the Star Wars universe.

I really wished I was able to read to read the volume before this, but my library doesn't carry it and I ended up reading the synopsis online.
However, this book detours again into Gazi's story on Mon Calamari, and this time I thought it was a little less interesting. I think the story of the imperial knight, however, was a lot more gripping. It almost reminded me of when Kit Fisto fought the Separatists in the 2003 Clone Wars show. And, I did really like seeing the repercussions of Cade's actions, and where it had gotten him. All in all, this isn't perfect, but it's still enjoyable for those of you reading through the Legacy series.

Three stories here: Fight Another Day was a great showcase for what the Imperial Knights stand for as a long Knight is torn between helping the Mon Calamari and following the orders of his Emperor. Also featuring some epic badness from the Sith. Great stuff. Storms is a complex story dealing with the moral ethics surrounding saving a life and also with the coping of loss. Not as much story or action here, but a lot of character development. Renegade is a one-off following Admiral Gar Starzi and his first alliance with the Empire. Really shows the strength of his character and beliefs as he sees himself as the embodiment of the Alliance. All done with great artwork as always.

Mon Calamari are fighting for their lives but one single Imperial Knight may prove to be the decisive factor in organizing resistance against SIth lead Imperial forces.
Republic and loyalist Imperial forces have embarked on a joint mission to capture Krayt's fleet. But everything goes in an unexpected turn of events when Imperial forces decide to act ..... well following their tradition.
In the meantime, Wrylock runs into troubles while trying to hide the true condition of Darth Krayt.
Great stories, lots of twists and turns - and yes, great scenes of space combat :)

The first arc "Fight Another Day" was very dark and grim. I wonder if showing the death of mothers and children would have been done differently if humans were used instead of Mon Calamarians.
Either I read "Renegade" while I was half asleep or it just didn't grab my attention.
Hoping Cade was starting to grow as a character, and then watching him spin out of control in "Storms" was disappointing. He still seems very immature and selfish. Maybe he will start to learn from the consequences of his actions, especially after the events of this trade.

"Fight Another Day" provides a good insight into the goings-on of the Mon Calamari, but otherwise isn't a particularly surprising story [5/10]. "Renegade" is an excellent story about the shifting alliances required in the Legacy era [9/10]. Finally, "Storm" is a good continuation of the story's major arc that simultaneously focuses on the main characters and shows the larger story that they're a part of [7/10].

Legacy continues along with another volume of shorter stories. While this version does not reach the heights previous volumes have, there is still plenty to like in here. Cade continues to make poor choices much to our delight and dismay. Exploring the Rebels' and Imperial activity with the Mon Calamari was nice as well.

Yet another awesome read in the series. Cade is his wishy-washy foolish self again. He's no cookie cutter version of Luke in any shape or form.
If you like Star Wars, you should read this comic series. It is still Star Wars, but the story is different and well done.

So, I mostly enjoy the ST. Mostly. But this series is just better. I'm even more satisfied with it now than the first time I read it ten years ago.
This is another solid entry in the series - Gar Stazi was underrated and I'd love to read more about him.

I found myself not caring so much about the Mon Calamari, which I know is terrible, but there it is. It is sometimes harder to care about death on that sort of scale, as opposed to the death of an individual. For me, anyway.

A really cool one set on the water planet DAC

This one had a little too much politics and chess-like maneuvers in the first chapter. I'm much more interested in characters. I was glad to see Cade in the second half, even if he is being a jerk.

A dark chapter in Legacy. Cade is emotional over something that happened, and his actions feel more lousy and betraying than when he was training to be a Sith.
