Star Wars Legacy To End

Hidden way down in a list of SW comics solicitations for June 2010 on Rebelscum.com and starwars.com is a description of Legacy #50 with this at the very end:

The final issue of Star Wars: Legacy!

I guess after four years, c'est tout for Cade Skywalker and company.

For me, Legacy turned out to be a mixed bag. The art was always good and the script was usually top-notch, but the overall story was directionless and its protagonist Cade never changed very much. I never did care for the premise that the post-ROTJ world devolved into another totalitarian Empire eventually taken over by another Sithocracy. But I was willing to go along with it because other aspects of the comic was done really well. At first Cade was compelling but he never became the hero he needed to be. No matter what happened to him, he never learned a darn thing. Maybe now he will since he's got only a few more issues to go. But it's as though they wanted to keep him where he was because he will seem "cool" to readers. The series seemed to be allergic to having any major heroic characters.

Supposedly there are seven new projects in the pipeline. Let's hope they'll get back to good ol' fashioned SW values and ideals.

May 19, 2010: SW Prequel Appreciation Day

Folks, it’s time to stop hiding in the shadows and letting the kind of thugs who attacked the Star Wars Examiner be the only voices heard. The internet has given birth to Talk Like A Pirate Day and May The 4th. So why not start Prequel Appreciation Day?

On May 19, 2010 (chosen because TPM and ROTS came out on May 19), we will show our support for Eps I-III through the following ways:

*Use social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to call attention to Prequel Appreciation Day. Post your favorite lines, favorite pix, etc.. Use icons from Eps I-III or Clone Wars if you wish. If you’re on Twitter, use the tag #swprequelappreciationday

*Post about your favorite PT era memories, post meta about your favorite characters, etc. on blogs, message boards, or LiveJournal. Use prequel-themed icons.

*Wear a PT-themed t-shirt!

*Feel free to engage in any other activity to show the world you love ALL of the SW saga and take a picture of it. Submit it to SWPASadmin@gmail.com and I’ll post it! I will also link to or post anything you put on your own sites.

Get the word out! Keep up with developments on my other site SWPAS (link at the top of the page).

Clone Wars Debriefing: "The Zillo Beast"

Too bad they didn't have the voices out of sync; that would have been a real Godzilla experience
