Star Wars: Legacy: 39: Tatooine part 3

What is it ? : Cade and Gunn Yage are in the desert as a sand storm comes down, they fight over a rebreather when Cade sees a vision of Luke Skywalker and leads them to the Lars Moisture Farm, abandoned and not scavenged because there is something about the place. They continue to squabble, and Gunn pulls Cades gun on him, only to discover that it is locked to only him.
She boasts that her father got most of the Jedi on Ossus, and Cade tells her that her father is a butcher who attacked under cover of a diplomatic meeting. She comes to finally defend her father by saying that he was deceived by the Sith, when Cade senses the assassins arriving, and senses their hunger which we also see from the assassins point of view.
Elsewhere Morrigan and Jariah are sheltering from the sand storm, discussing Gunn, and whether Jariah might be suited to join the Empire.
Cade awakens to bright sun shine and sees Luke looking as he did on Tatooine, young and dressed in white. Aunt Beru calls them both for breakfast, and Cade expects another lecture, commenting that he thinks he is dreaming, which Luke hopes isn't true as he's enjoying the breakfast. They discuss how Cade is proud of defeating two Sith, but Luke asks how he was captured by Gunn. Cade says she tricked him, and Luke asks if it's the same way he tricked the Sith?
Suddenly they're outside the farm, and smoke is rising from it, they find Beru and Owen's burned bodies, and Luke tells him that while he was here all he wanted to do was to leave, and afterwards he realised that Owen and Beru had kept him safe, and loved him. He only had chance to grieve them later, but if he'd remained he would have died along with them but the force had other ideas for him.
Cade comments that this is the lecture about the Skywalker destiny that he was expecting, telling Luke that anyone who sides against him gets what they deserve, even family as Luke reminds him of his own Uncle and Aunt and that Cade isn't the only one who has lost people.
Cade pulls his Lightsaber, and fights Luke, now dressed in black with his cybernetic hand. Cade gets angrier and angrier, his eyes turning red, until Luke refuses to fight him any further, inviting him to strike him down and complete his journey to the Dark Side to become a Sith. Cade says that he isn't a Jedi or a Sith, he just wants to be left alone, and Luke shows him a vision of the path he is on, Cade with Sith markings standing over the bodies of his friends, asking him if this is what he wants, to which Cade answers . . . no.
Cade awakens to find the female Anzat beginning to feed from him, while the male feeds from Gunn, they throw off the Anzat and begin fighting as the male pulls a lightsaber. Meanwhile outside, Jariah and Morrigan approach the farm, and see the third assassin waiting outside.

High Points : The highlight of this one for me is the Cade / Luke encounter at the Lars Moisture Farm, Luke demonstrates to Cade that he isn't the only one to have lost people, Cade may have lost his father, but Luke lost the Aunt and Uncle who had raised and loved him his entire life at a similar age. Cade wants to reject his destiny, but Luke tells him he doesn't even know what that is yet, and if he keeps lashing out at the universe, that anger will have consequences, no matter what titles that Cade wants to put on himself.

Low Points : But there's a lot of talk in this one, Cade and Gunn arguing over whose father was at fault, with Cade perhaps making Gunn question her allegiance to the Sith. Luke and Cade arguing over whether Cade using the Dark Side is a bad thing. It's all very wordy, and all kind of pointless, I don't care enough about Gunn to bother whether she serves the Empire or not, and while the series needs Cade to decide to do something with his life, we're around 80% through the series here, and it just seems too little too late to make a difference.

So what do you really think ? : Luke's my hero from the movies, as I've said elsewhere, I'm probably going to be on his side, so this issue was nice to see Luke as I remember him, heroic, with tragedy in his past. Although this does put Cade into a position within his own comic where he's the bad guy, but I suppose this is the point, to course correct and put Cade back on a heroic path once more.

Final Words : So next issue there's some ass kicking to do, as they beat the assassins, but I don't really see where else this story has to go, so how are they going to pad out the page count of the next issue?

Score : 8/10
