Issue 21
Issue #21, Indomitable part 2, illustrates the epic battle of Mon Calamari, in which Admiral Stazi brings the remaining Galactic Alliance fleet into battle in an attempt to steal the Imperial’s latest invention, an Advanced Star Destroyer named Imperious. Under knowledge that he is outgunned and outnumbered, Admiral Stazi decides to continue to fight Grand Admiral Valan’s Imperial fleet. Unknown to the Imperials, Stazi has taken control of the Mon Calamari shipyard’s turbolasers and has also commandeered the Imperious with a commando team of GA troopers.
Just as the tide is turned in favor of the Galactic Alliance, the Imperials single out Stazi’s flagship and bombard it with all their might. Against the wishes of his officers, Stazi decides to sacrifice himself, staying on board and flying manually so the rest of the ship’s crew can escape the doomed vessel. His heroic end is cut short when Stazi’s first officer commands Rouge Leader Jhoram Bey to knock out the resisting admiral and escape aboard a starfighter with him. Stazi’s first officer Captain Yorub takes the admiral’s place and crashes the Alliance flagship into the Imperial docks orbiting Mon calamari.
This was an amazing issue. In my opinion, Legacy needed a break from Jan Duuresma and her Cade story line, which got increasingly old after six issues of Claws of the Dragon. This issue looks at events at a much grander scale, depicting events in the epic war between the Galactic Alliance and the Empire.
Omar Francia does an amazing job illustrating this issue, penciling it in the increasingly popular pencils-only style. I really like all the new ship designs featured in this issue, from the new classes of Star Destroyers to the new class of starfighter Rouge Squadron is flying.Dark Times heavyweight Doug Wheatly’s cover art is one of the best covers ever to grace a Star Wars comic book.
This is what I want from Legacy, not more of whiny Cade Skywalker doing Death Sticks and refusing to follow his destiny to become a Jedi. I hope to see more of this three-way civil war between the Galactic Alliance, the Sith’s Empire and Emperor Fel’s Imperial Remnant.
