supposudly, the only way nihilus lived was to live through his armom/robe. at least, that's what krayt made it sound like. and that's what krayt was trying to do, do he called nihilus.

honestly. couldnt they have just left the galactic alliance and new jedi order alone! i'm tired of post-GCW stuff. I personally, would like some more books that go back to Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War+immediatly after that, and way before that. e.g. founding of the jedi, exile of the sith, hyperspace war, etc...

At this point anything would be better than the current storyline.

it's killing SW and creating a designated track.
rule 1 in creativity: don't restrict your creativity.

Agreed. They should have kept going, not skipping 100 years. They have already messed up other things by doing this crap.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #24 on:** July 14, 2008, 02:47:06 PM »

it's not creative. it's taking themes of the darth bane era (non-rule of 2 sith) kotor era (ruined jedi order) and little bits of virtually every order and making it all up. what's worse, the noobs love it. kids are going to want to buy SW comics, the legacy ones being the most prominent, then absolutely love them, breeding a bunch of cookiecutter writers.
i knew SW would die some day, but it's going to be before 2010 with this sort of shit being released. they even stole the name from another SW book series.

Well, we will see. With the new Clone Wars series coming, maybe we will see some good Star Wars, although this could get ugly. $:-\$

Ive not read any of the Legacy comics, and i dont plan to. I would much rather see more concerning the Clone Wars, and the Rise of the Empire era, than post LotF.

I too would like to see more Rise of the Empire era stuff. and it's true that there is thousands of years of unwritten stuff. why go ahead when the past isn't all clear?

They should write the Mandalorian Wars, Rise of the Empire, and right after the last book of the Legacy series. form what i have heard, the comics are crap and should be burned

id like to hear more about the mandalorian wars such as way way more battle details.

the comics were an intersting read but i could not like any charecter except Roan Fel that man is BAD ASS

situation phails.
i'd like to see the 3,956BY-1,000BBY gap filled. however, i imagine LA are protecting parts of that timeline for games like K3, if one does come out.

yeah i read the new kotor mmo is set around 3500bby, gonna be a lot of new stuff added hopefully since only thing that is documented then is the discovery of the iktotchi

vadereclipse · « **Reply #32 on:** July 15, 2008, 08:50:23 AM »

the thing is, MMO means monthly fees, which means phail.

ARC-Trooper57 · « **Reply #33 on:** July 15, 2008, 05:57:28 PM »

the fees arent too bad im willing to pay for at least one of em (no more then that though)

Mandalore-the-Inquizitor · « **Reply #34 on:** July 16, 2008, 02:54:04 AM »

15 buck a mont for an mmo is not that bad

Meyer · « **Reply #35 on:** July 16, 2008, 10:09:56 AM »

that depends.

What is wrong with you people? Legacy is friggin' awesome. I don't see how it's shitty, although it might be occasionally.

set 90 years after LOTF? please.
by setting that there, creativity in novels is restricted.
any novels have a narrow time to work with, and have to use characters mentioned in legacy.
if post-LOTF was empty, they could be expansive and decent. Now, it becomes KOTOR era 2.0. loads of jedi and sith fighting, and a few non-force sensitives acting as suckups to main characters (not that kotor is bad) and to be honest, krayt's sith order all look like gimps to put it bluntly.

Delta 07 · « **Reply #38 on:** August 29, 2008, 08:04:05 PM »

i agree with vadereclipse. the lotf comic series makes authors write stuff that lines up with the comics which gives them no way too use imagination. The new sith order is crap. the only good part of the comics are the re-rise of the empire

siegfried1 · « **Reply #39 on:** August 29, 2008, 08:14:45 PM »

I admit i don't like the new sith, but that doesn't make the comic instantly bad. I like the new ships and the new characters. If you pick apart every good book/movie you can make it sound like complete and utter crap.
