A dark journey within the Sith Temple for Cade Skywalker - By: Skywalker fan, 28 Sep 2008 
Here we are the third trade paperback for the Star Wars: Legacy comic series. This volume takes place 137 years ABY & is full to the brim with flashbacks from all over the Star Wars timeline. The art is handled purely by Jan Duursemain this volume & is written by John Ostrander.
Claws of the Dragon picks up straight after the end of the previous volume Shards. Cade Skywalker at the end of that volume accepted some very brief refresher trainingin the Jedi arts from his old master, however his previous bad deeds have now driven him to Coruscant to try & resuce the Jedi Healer Hosk Trey'lis from Sith captivity. He is driven by guilt as he & his crew of bounty hunters are the ones who turned the Jedi over to the Sith. His journey will lead to the Sith Temple & the dangerous game that many a Jedi has played; trying to go undercover as a Sith/Darksider. Cade getsin way over his head & by doing so learns the startling truth behind the Sith Emperor Darth Krayt & the reason why he needs Cade Skywalker so badly.
We get a much more detailed look at Coruscantin the Legacy era & Jan Duursema does not disappoint. We get amazing cityscapes as Cade makes his dangerous approach to Coruscant being chased by Sith Empire Predator fighters, the dark underbelly of Coruscant with the victims of the Siths sabotage of the Ossus Project & the results of the remaking of the Jedi Temple into the Sith Temple. There is also the introduction of a character last seen at the end of Jan Duursema & John Ostranders Clone Wars runin Star Wars: Republic which is a cool kick for those who have read it.
This is an essential storylinein the ongoing Legacy series. It gives us anin depth look into the new Sith Order & is full of shock revelations both into the identity of Darth Krayt but alsoin regards to Cade Skywalkers past. The art is top notch as usual & Johm Ostrander is brilliant at weaving a compelling tale intercut with relevant & fascinating flashbacks. It also tiesin very nicely with the recently finished storyline within the Legacy of the Force novels that are set at the very start of the Legacy era (40 ABY). Claws of the Dragon is a must read.
