Description
This is inspired by Star Wars Legacy Vector #12. I love the quote that Darth Wyyrlock tells Krayt before he kills Darth Krayt...."Sometimes for the dream to live the dreamer must die"
Here is one of my favorite poems by Edgar Allen Poe. I thought this fit nicely with the picture.
A Dream Within a Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Awesome!! I've seen this character around so many times, i could never remember his name though or his back story.
Great work though, you've captured a lot of emotion in this!

Very good. It's interesting how this is reminiscient of Luke being shocked by Palpatine in RotJ. Love the lightning nad the perspective, as well as, for some reason, how Krayt's hair looks.
Krayt almost becomes likeable in this context. The dreamer is such a noble character type, that it's odd to see it as evil.
Mind you, I haven't read much Legacy.

Thanks very much. This is not nearly as good as the original comic art but I loved the frame and the saying. Yes it does remind me of ROTJ. I really hate to see Krayt go.

I saw the original work on Wookieepedia. The Third Darth Wyyrlok is so bad ass!

Really hated to see Krayt die but it had to happen! Really loved the quote. I wonder if the writer actually made that up on his own. It is near genius in my opinion. I've never heard the quote before but it often is so true.

It is very meaningful. It's reminiscent of things in real life.
Krayt was such a bad ass, but he was so sick due to the Yuuzhan Vong lifeforms. Even if he found a way to heal himself, there is perhaps a purpose to his death. Wyyrlok is bad ass in his own right, though, with all due respect to parents, I prefer one who is not a father/mother to be the leader of the Sith, but that's just my opinion. Yes, I'm not a family man. I tend to prefer someone like Exar Kun, but he went and gone in 3996 BBY and later on in 10 ABY. Damn jedi scum!!!
