I thought Vestara was Tahiri for a moment. Overall, I like it. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

I thought Vestara was Tahiri for a moment. That's what I thought too! As much as I like the Ben/Vestara subplot, I was hoping that Ascension would feature different characters. Was anyone else hoping for more character diversity on these covers?

I thought I wouldn't, and I still wanna see the back of Conviction, but this is honestly my favorite so far cover-wise _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

Yea thats what i thought. When i first saw it i kind of presumed is was Ben and i couldn't really tell that that was Vestara, but yea, completely different. _________________ "laugh it up fuzzball"- Han Solo

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows I'm absolutely loving Ben! Maybe not the 90s mullet going on, but we can't seem to get away from that, so...what's a fan to do? I also thought, at first glance, that it was Tahiri on the cover. However, it's obviously Vestara, though I liked her much better on Omen. Overally, though, great cover. Totally wish someone else was on the cover, especially Jaina, but alas. It seems that such is never to happen. Just happy for a decent illustration of Ben, I suppose. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker
