For those who don’t already know, Marvel Comics Star Wars series). Then, there’s the Legends Star Wars, which is everything that isn’t the movies or television series (ie, novels, comics, video games) released before 2012.

Star Wars Legends is a rich tapestry of Expanded Universe lore. Sometimes Legends managed to absolutely nail it when it came to enriching the Star Wars universe, while other times it totally missed the mark (usually in pretty comical ways). But, more than anything else, Star Wars Legends has no shortage of memorable moments. Here are the 10 best Star Wars Legends moments that still live in everyone’s head rent-free!

10 Luke Skywalker vs Luuke Skywalker

Star Wars: The Last Command by Timothy Zahn, Mike Baron, and Edvin Biukovic

One of the best installments of the Star Wars Legends continuity is also the first (not counting the 1977 Marvel Comics series, of course): The Heir to the Empire Trilogy. The last installment of the Heir to the Empire Trilogy is The Last Command, which includes a lightsaber duel that fans won’t forget anytime soon: Luke Skywalker vs himself. Or, a clone of himself, anyway.

Luke's severed hand from The Empire Strikes Back was used to create a nearly perfect, Force-sensitive clone named Luuke. That clone was then weaponized by Joruus C’baoth (the mad clone of the Jedi, Jorus C’baoth) against Luke Skywalker during the final battle of the trilogy. The sight of Luke Skywalker battling himself is truly epic, and definitely sticks in one’s mind.

9 Darth Vader’s Comedically Villainous Scheme

Classic Star Wars #10 by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson

Darth Vader is one of the greatest villains in history, not just in Star Wars, but all of fiction. The reason that’s the case is his ruthless nature and raw power, not to mention the fact that he’s a sympathetic villain who fans actually find themselves constantly rooting for. However, in this particular Star Wars Legends comic, Darth Vader goes from his usual brand of complicated villain to something more akin to a cartoon bad guy from some children’s show.

Darth Vader comes up with a dastardly scheme to trap Luke Skywalker by hiring an actor to play Obi-Wan Kenobi, hoping to trick Luke into thinking that Old Ben has come back to life. The whole thing is so off-brand for Darth Vader that one can’t help but to laugh, and it’s certainly a moment in Legends continuity fans won’t forget anytime soon.

8 Introduction of Don-Wan Kihotay

Star Wars #8 (1977) by Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin

In the first official Star Wars Legends comic series (the aforementioned 1977 Marvel Comics series), fans are introduced to a Jedi who supposedly survived the Great Jedi Purge: Don-Wan Kihotay. This self-proclaimed Jedi is an old man who wears a suit of armor akin to a medieval knight, and he also wields a lightsaber (where he found it is unclear). But, the thing is, Don-Wan Kihotay isn’t a Jedi, he’s just a crazy old man who wishes he was.

The inclusion of this fake Jedi (whose name is an obvious parody of Don Quixote) is a hilarious subversion of fans’ expectations when it comes to introducing Order 66 survivors. In Star Wars canon, it feels like a new Order 66 survivor is being introduced with every new show or movie, lessening the impact of Order 66 every time. But that is not the case with Don-Wan Kihotay, who is as hilarious as he is memorable.

7 Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Krayt

Star Wars: Legacy #16 by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema

The period of time between Obi-Wan Kenobi taking his post on Tatooine at the end of Episode III and taking on Luke Skywalker as his Jedi padawan in Episode IV is greatly a mystery. Sure, the live-action series filled in some of that gap, but there’s still years of storytelling potential there, and Star Wars Legends certainly didn’t let this time in Obi-Wan’s life go to waste. One such example is particularly memorable, as Star Wars: Legacy reveals that Obi-Wan once protected Luke Skywalker and the Lars family from the wrath of Darth Krayt.

Before Darth Krayt became the leader of the One Sith, he was a Jedi survivor of Order 66 who fled to Tatooine. He became the leader of the Tusken Raiders, and under him, the Tuskens laid their claim to practically the entire planet. But, this particular moisture farm was under Obi-Wan’s protection, and the lightsaber battle that ensued is one fans won’t forget.

6 The Villainy of Trioculus and the Heroism of Ken, the Jedi Prince

Star Wars: Adventures of a Jedi Prince by Paul and Hollace Davids

As previously mentioned, Star Wars Legends sometimes delivers some killer stories, while other times it misses the mark entirely. This is an example of the latter. Star Wars: Adventures of a Jedi Prince feels like an off-brand children’s book, which is pretty much what it is. It stars Ken, the Jedi Prince and grandson of Emperor Palpatine who is the only one who can stop the evil Trioculus, a three-eyed Imperial who seeks to claim Palpatine’s now-vacant throne in Star Wars’ post-OT landscape.

This whole trilogy is definitely a fun little adventure, but it’s certainly not what any Star Wars fan would ever ask for. Which is why it’s hilariously ironic that it's so memorable. Indeed, how is one supposed to forget a three-eyed villain fighting a Jedi Prince?

5 The Murderous Mount Sorrow

Ewoks #7 by David Manak and Warren Kremer

The Star Wars Legends’ Ewoks comic series really leaned into the marketability of the Ewoks after Return of the Jedi by delivering a child-friendly comic series starring the toyetic little creatures that takes place on the homeworld of Endor (technically the Forest Moon of Endor). While these comics usually amount to nothing little stories that could easily take place in the main Star Wars canon (indeed, they’re profoundly inconsequential to the main series), this particular comic definitely stands out from the rest.

This comic features a sentient mountain that is constantly crying, and its tears have the power to heal. However, Mount Sorrow doesn’t like having visitors, so he’ll blow the Ewoks off the side of him if they try to climb to the top, unbothered by the fact that he could easily kill them. It’s a truly bizarre story that doesn’t really feel like Star Wars at all, but it’s definitely memorable.

4 Sith-Appearance Retcon

Star Wars: Legacy #39 by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema

It’s well-established in Star Wars canon that a Sith can look like anyone. Sure, if one falls too deep into the dark side, they’ll develop yellow/red eyes, but for the most part a Sith can look like anyone else (that’s how Palpatine was able to blend in as a politician for so many years). However, in Star Wars: Legacy, fans get a glimpse at what Cade Skywalker would look like as a Sith, and it shows him having developed red skin and black markings all over his body.

Cade looks like Darth Maul as a Sith, just like every other member of the One Sith in Star Wars: Legacy. This implies that Darth Maul himself may have looked like a regular human before falling to the dark side, and that anyone who gets corrupted might end up developing red skin and black markings. It’s an interesting ‘what if’ to consider, and makes one think about how cool it would be if this Sith-appearance retcon actually stuck.

3 White-Armored Darth Vader

Star Wars: Infinities - Return of the Jedi by Adam Gallardo and Ryan Benjamin

Star Wars: Infinities is a ‘What If’-style comic series that takes readers back to the events of the Original Trilogy and changes one key part of the story in each movie, altering the larger story in truly wild ways. The Return of the Jedi Infinities story ends with Darth Vader finding redemption just as he did in the original film, but this time, Vader survives.

Anakin Skywalker gets to live as a Jedi, which is why he changes his black life- armor to the color white, indicating his return to the light side of the Force. Seeing Vader with this costume change is something Star Wars fans can never unsee, whether they think it’s cool or not.

2 Jango Fett’s Origin

Star Wars: Jango Fett: Open Season by Haden Blackman and Ramon Bachs

Jango Fett is a galaxy-class bounty hunter who ended up being the biological blueprint for the entire clone army during the Clone Wars and the father of the equally-skilled bounty hunter, Boba Fett. However, if one only looks at Jango Fett’s canon story, they’re missing out on his entire origin, as Star Wars canon never delves into who Jango Fett was before the events of Episode II. Luckily, Legends has an entire comic book miniseries about it.

Jango Fett: Open Season goes into how Jango got his Mandalorian armor, it explores his relationship with the Mandalorians, and it explains why Jango was chosen by Count Dooku to be the clones’ blueprint. But, more than anything else, Open Season has one scene showing Jango Fett murdering a number of Jedi all by himself, and it’s a badass scene fans won’t soon forget.

1 Darth Vader vs Darth Maul

Star Wars Tales #9 “Resurrection” by Ron Marz and Rick Leonardi

Since Darth Maul made his debut in The Phantom Menace, fans had only one thing on their minds: how would he do against Darth Vader? Darth Maul was the only other apprentice to the Emperor, so it was only natural to wonder how Darth Maul would handle himself if he ever had the opportunity to fight Darth Vader. Well, lucky for fans, Star Wars Legends was willing to answer that question.

In Star Wars Tales, fans are given a story where Darth Maul is resurrected by a dark side cult to replace Darth Vader, as they didn’t see Vader as a ‘true Sith’ the way Maul was (indeed, Vader used to be a Jedi). So, the two had one of the coolest lightsaber duels in Star Wars history, which confirmed once and for all that Darth Vader is the superior Sith Lord over Darth Maul. That’s why this is one of the 10 Star Wars Legends moments that still live in fans’ heads rent-free.
