I'm supposing (and hoping) that we'll read more about him in the upcoming Imperial Commando books, but until then, what do ya'll think he goes on to do with is life? Because he seems to be following Jusik around when we see him in LotF. What happened to Dar? Did he ever get to know his dad? I'm sure Skirata had died by then, but how long did Kad know him? And speaking of which, why did he go back to using Venku when he got older? Something to do with the meaning of "future" versus "dagger/sword"? Or was it simply because Traviss hadn't renamed him yet when she mentioned him in LotF? These questions and many more I would love to have answered! _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

So that probably has something to do with the later name change. Since his mom died, and perhaps Dar didn't get to stick around long, that would mean old Kal raised him, or Jusik. Maybe by calling him Venku it helped ease the pain of what happened to his parents. And since we're speculating. I'm betting Dar is going to meet a nasty end. I certainly don't want it to happen, but I have the bad feeling that it is going to happen. _________________

That to me would suck and sort of lessen Etain's sacrifices. I hope if he does he at least gets to get to know Kad first! _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush.

If I had to speculate the Empire discovers a force sensitive clone off-spring and goes after him.

And then, if they are more detailed, will they pick up Karen's charachters. You gotta figure a mando with jedi abilities is too tempting for the other authors not to touch. Venku could end up one of the most important characters to come if they choose to include him.

kurtdc Master Joined: 15 May 2008 Posts: 602 Location: boston Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Now, I'm sure there would be some hardcore mando's holding grudges that would never partner up with the jedi. But there could be a whole faction of mandos that partner up with the jedi, at least for specific needs. Of course, this doesn't seem to be the case around the time of the Legacy comics, so it's probably not in the cards unless they have a fairly short-lived alliance.
