The legacy of Order 66 returns in the pages of Marvel's Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #7 as Kylo Ren, perhaps for the first time in a long time, is treated not as a peer, but as petulant tyrant by former Jedi Knight Grandea. What follows is a heartbreaking tale told in flashbacks about a life uprooted and then adjusted in the aftermath of Palpatine's rise.
