As Star Wars fans eagerly await the franchise’s return to the big screen, the vast realm of Legends continuity comics holds untapped potential for thrilling animated adaptations on Disney+. With the success of animated series like those helmed by Dave Filoni and the innovative “what if?” anthology, Visions, Lucasfilm has the creative space to explore new narratives outside the main timeline. Here are five Legends comics that could seamlessly transition into captivating animated TV series.

  • 1. “Legacy” – A Bold Alternate Sequel
  • 2. “Heir to the Empire Trilogy” – Visualizing Novel Success
  • 3. “X-Wing – Rogue Squadron” – A Military Dogfighting Spin
  • 4. “Rebellion” – Legacy Heroes in Focus
  • 5. “Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison” – A Vader-Centric Miniseries

1. “Legacy” – A Bold Alternate Sequel

In the far-reaching Legacy series, fans are transported over 130 years after the events of Return of the Jedi. Following the journey of Cade Skywalker, a disillusioned bounty hunter and former Jedi, as he battles Darth Krayt’s rule and the One Sith, “Legacy” offers a compelling alternate sequel to the Original Trilogy. An animated TV adaptation would inject variety into Disney+’s Star Wars lineup, with its rich storyline, character development, and a balanced blend of nostalgia and originality.

2. “Heir to the Empire Trilogy” – Visualizing Novel Success

While Timothy Zahn’s “Heir to the Empire Trilogy” began as novels, Mike Baron’s excellent comic book adaptation in the ’90s could serve as a visual template for a captivating animated series. This trilogy introduced the iconic villain Thrawn, bringing back the classic trio of Luke, Han, and Leia to fend off Thrawn’s attempts to revive the Empire. An animated adaptation would offer a riveting way to explore this acclaimed story and bring the heroes back to the screen.

3. “X-Wing – Rogue Squadron” – A Military Dogfighting Spin

The expansive 35-issue run of Dark Horse’s “X-Wing – Rogue Squadron” takes place a year after Return of the Jedi, focusing on the titular team of pilots maintaining peace for the New Republic. This military-dogfighting series presents a unique subgenre within Star Wars, and its action-packed sequences could translate into a visually striking animated series. Despite the Rogue Squadron live-action movie being on hold, an animated adaptation would keep the spirit of starfighter action alive.

4. “Rebellion” – Legacy Heroes in Focus

Dark Horse’s “Rebellion” series, set after “Dark Times,” allows the beloved legacy heroes—Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa—to embark on new adventures. The 16-issue series, though short-lived, presents engaging story arcs that could sustain a season or two of animated TV. By blending classic characters with new ones, “Rebellion” offers fresh narratives for animated exploration.

5. “Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison” – A Vader-Centric Miniseries

“Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison” unfolds a gripping tale of Imperial ruthlessness as Vader investigates a Republic-run prison to find a cure for the ailing Emperor Palpatine. This miniseries provides a unique perspective on Darth Vader’s character, showcasing his formidable nature. An animated miniseries or movie could capture the intensity of this story, offering viewers a binge-worthy experience.

While Lucasfilm keeps Star Wars enthusiasts waiting for cinematic returns, the rich tapestry of Legends comics beckons for animated exploration. These five comics, ranging from alternate sequels to military-dogfighting dramas, present diverse storytelling opportunities for Disney+. As the success of Visions proves, the animated format allows for experimentation and fresh perspectives, ensuring the Force continues to captivate audiences in innovative ways.
