01 · Summary
What the series is about
Set more than a century after the films, Legacy follows Cade Skywalker in a galaxy reshaped by a resurgent Sith order.
Star Wars: Legacy was published by Dark Horse during 2006–2010. IDS classifies the series as Legends, places it in the Legacy era era, and labels its format as Ongoing.
The current run record is 50 issues. That run description is kept separate from variants, collected editions, annuals, one-shots, and reprints so collectors can distinguish the story sequence from the physical formats used to publish it.
02 · Publication file
Where it sits in Star Wars comics
Star Wars: Legacy belongs to the Legends side of the archive and is indexed as a ongoing from Dark Horse. Its publication span is 2006–2010, with the current IDS run record listed as 50 issues.
IDS treats publisher, continuity, run structure, physical issue format, variants, and later collections as separate metadata fields so a trade paperback or alternate cover is not mistaken for a different story issue.

Series contributors in bibliographic records
When a collected edition is matched through public bibliographic metadata, IDS surfaces its credited contributors here. This is a series-level aid, not a claim that the same team created every issue in the run.

07 · IDS lens
What this comic can reveal
This series is useful for examining religious authority, apprenticeship, sacred tradition, institutional memory, and conflict over who can legitimately interpret the Force.
IDS separates fictional cosmology from the social institutions built around it, which makes comics especially valuable when they show schools, councils, sects, archives, rituals, or competing lineages over multiple issues.
08 · Source record
Publication and collector sources
IDS separates publication facts and creator metadata from independently written summaries and analysis. Representative covers are resolved from bibliographic records and may depict a collected edition rather than the exact first issue of the run.
