Perfect for fans of Star Wars as a little something extra, this graphic novel follows the adventures of Ania Solo, the great-granddaughter of Han Solo. I haven't read the other Legacy chapters, which I assume would give more background information on Ania, but this chapter was a fun adventure, with some beautiful illustrations and brilliant colour schemes. The familiarity of the races, technology and planets ties it all in to the franchise nicely, despite the new characters.

This volume certainly flew by and had a lot of action! I look forward to learning more of the characters. I am also incredibly pleased and delighted that Solo gets things done versus moping about battling destiny like Cade in the first series, haha!

One hundred and thirty-eight years after A New Hope, Star Wars Legacy II mercilessly jumps right into the aftermath of Legacy with exciting lightsaber battles, dogfights, political conflict and more. It wastes no time on exposition, which means that yes, you need to read Legacy, both for backstory and for awesomeness. The Galactic Fleet, the Empire and the Jedi are clinging to their tenuous triumvirate in an attempt to bring order back to the galaxy after the death of Darth Krayt. Meanwhile, on some backwater planet, the feisty young salvager, Ania Solo, finds a lightsaber that inevitably leads her and her friends, a Mon Cal refugee and an assassin droid with morals, into a whole lot of trouble and brings her to the attention of, well, everyone.
I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Ania. I didn’t want her simply to be Girl Han of the Future and I didn’t want a repeat of Cade Skywalker’s struggles with the legacy of his surname. Skywalker is, after all, a pretty big name in this universe, even a hundred years later, but Solo is not necessarily the name bad guys remember and fear. Fortunately, within five issues, there was only one small motivational speech involving Ania’s ancestor.
If you enjoyed Legacy as much as I did, then this is definitely going to grab you. If you’re a Star Wars fan and haven’t read Legacy yet, then get on it! The series is a refreshing take on this universe, breaking out of the standard trappings of the Star Wars universe.
