Collects Star Wars: Legacy (2006) #0-19
Head far into the future of long ago! A new evil has arisen, shattering a resurgent Empire and seeking to put an end to the Jedi once and for all. The Sith Lord Darth Krayt sits on the throne. Only one hope remains — the last remaining heir to the Skywalker legacy. Cade may be strong in the Force — but years after a tragedy, he is a bounty hunter, working with Jariah Syn and Deliah Blue. When he reluctantly finds himself at the center of galactic turmoil, Cade may be forced to embrace his heritage. But will the path on which he embarks be one of redemption, or damnation?
This is all considered non-canon now and falls under the category now listed as Legends or alternate timeline. Personally, this timeline will be canon but even without factoring that personal opinion in, I loved seeing the far future of the Star Wars family names we have all come to love and hate. If you are a Star Wars fan, I highly recommend checking out this graphic novel series. If you are not a SW fan but love science fiction and graphic novels, I recommend checking it out, it is set up far enough in the future that having no knowledge of SW characters really will not hamper you enjoyment.

Series Reread Review April 2026:
I always love going back to this future-set series. Yes, it's non-canon and yes, I enjoy Disney's timeline but the original SWEU that is now under the Legends umbrella will always be what comes to mind when I think "canon". However you look at it, if you're a SW fan then I'm sure you'll love it too. With alternate timelines and multiverse being a popular avenue for Hollywood in recent years, if it helps to look at Legends like that, then do so, it's kind of what I do, after all, I spent too much money and time invested in the original SWEU to just forget it. There are family names you'll recognize and new ones, put them all together and you have an incredibly entertaining future story. Outside the SW universe, graphic novels are not really my thing but I do love them here and though I wouldn't have minded experiencing this era in full-length novels, graphic novels fits them to a tee especially for those who don't have the time to invest in novel re-reads.
RATING:
John 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.
Sometimes credited as Jan Duursema-Mandrake. Jan Duursema is an American comics artist known for her work on the Star Wars comics franchise.
