I bought this graphic novel when amazon had a Star Wars graphic novel kindle deal and every single one of them cost $2.49 apiece. I think I bought five of them, which is actually very restraint for being me. Anyway, I was a bit curious about this one, the others I bought was mostly Dark Vader centered. (what can I say I like my baddies, tall and dark! ;)). The main story in this graphic novel was good, not brilliant good, but entertaining to read. Cade Skywalker is no Luke Skywalker, he is a bit more Han Solo kind of character. He is a space pirate so that isn't that surprising (hehe) But I liked him and I enjoyed reading about his troubled past. The story in itself was good, not extraordinary interesting, but I liked it and that he had visions of Luke Skywalker gave the story some extra spice. In the end was an issue that felt very misplaced, it was as they needed to reach a certain number of pages and throw in an extra issue that had nothing to do with the rest of the story. I didn't like that story a bit! It was a good graphic novel (90% of it at last) and I would without doubt read more about Cade Skywalker. This was a quick and entertaining read, because unlike the previous collection this storyline was action packed and brought back a lot of themes from the original trilogy. Cade and company are stranded on Tatooine with a busted ship (starting to sound familiar) after their escapades stealing from Black Sun start getting them into trouble, and they face off against not only a trio of assassins (the soul-sucking abilities of which are kind of alarming), but a duo of Imperials led by none other than Cade's mother. The major theme of this story arc is bringing Cade right to the edge of his dabbling with the Dark Side - as if his stint with the Sith wasn't enough - but he barely manages to pull back, even with the influence of Luke's Force ghost. Maybe the faux-lightsaber battle was a bit much, even for Cade, and it's just more proof that he's losing his mind. Most of this volume of Legacy consists of the story "Tatooine," a complicated story of conflicting agendas in the way that Legacy does best. Cade Skywalker and company are on Tatooine to sell goods they've pirated off Imperial shipments, only things are getting a little hot. Meanwhile, Moff Nyna Calixte has sent her daughter Gunn Yage to investigate the same problem... but Calixte has come in disguise as Imperial agent Morrigan Corde... and Corde is Skywalker's mother. There's also a criminal mastermind and some bounty hunters and a corrupt Imperial moff to deal with, too. It sometimes gets a little confusing, as you might imagine. The best part of Tatooine is that we finally get a story that is interested in Delilah Blue. Blue is Cade's Zeltron engineer-- like all Zeltron women, she's sexy and sexual, but beyond the fact that she turns Cade's hydrospanner (in every sense of the word), we don't really know much about her. In Tatooine, Blue pretends to be an Imperial missionary to make some money, and we gain a sense as to what life she used to live and what motivates her to be with Cade. It's a little late in the game, but it's much-needed at this point. Much of the story pairs Cade with Yage, and in true Star Wars tradition, they seem to be attracted to one another because they don't know they're brother and sister. Which is fun in its own way, I suppose. It's also nice to see Cade experiencing some of his family history by running around the old Lars farm. So it's certainly a fun and worthwhile story, but at a certain point seems to wear out its welcome; there's only so much quadruple-crossing you can read before you get bored. For me, it was when they all went into space to talk to the crimelord or something. I was done, but the story wasn't. Still, there were a couple promising revelations at the end. There's also a side story at the end, "Rogue's End," focusing on a Mandalorian member of the Alliance's Rogue Squadron, who we've seen a couple times in the series previously. It's all right-- I wasn't super-invested in this guy to begin with, and this story doesn't really make me a big fan, though it's interesting enough. Cade Skywalker wants to get away from the Jedi, the Sith, and the Empire, and he’s out playing pirate with his old comrades Jariah Syn and Deliah Blue, preying on the Black Sun criminal syndicate as they prey on the Empire. This attracts unwelcome attention, and he winds up on Tatooine, pursued by assassins and running into the Force ghost of his grandfather Luke. The confrontations bring up an internal confrontation that Cade has been avoiding: is hating the Sith enough to avoid falling to the Dark Side? nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
