Oui, il y a quelques personnages, comme ça, qui sont tirés de l’univers étendu (ancien ou nouveau) et qui plaisent (au public comme aux créateurs)…
On pourrait citer Quinlan Vos ou Thrawn, par exemple.

NEW CREW, NEW MISSION!
With the Rebel Alliance back on the run after their defeat at the Battle of Hoth, it’s never been a more dangerous time for outlaws, scoundrels and the errant rogue archaeologist to make their way in the galaxy. But after a string of bad luck and near escapes, DOCTOR APHRA is back on the job! She’s been keeping a low profile – jobs are scarce and credits scarcer. But the promise of the score of a lifetime is a chance too good for her to pass up. And to find the cursed RINGS OF VAALE, Aphra will need a crew of treasure hunters the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before! But RONEN TAGGE, heir to the powerful Tagge family, also has his eyes on the prize. Do Aphra and her team stand a chance at fortune and glory?

Des personnages amenés par Archie Goodwin et Carmine Infantino. Ils occupent un rôle central dans la saga sur le casino de l’espace où Solo et Chewie sont recrutés comme gladiateurs (tu as sans doute là ça dans Titans). On les revoit aussi dans le récit « Crimson Forever », dans le Star Wars#50 de Goodwin et Williamson (et le récent Star Wars#108 de Charles Soule, sous couverture de Simonson, y fait référence puisque c’est une sorte de suite).
Je n’étais pas insensible au charme vénéneux de Domina Tagge, enfant. Mais je pense que le trait de Carmine Infantino y était pour beaucoup.
C’était un peu « la famille Borgia dans l’espace ». L’idée était très bonne, Goodwin ayant compris qu’il fallait opposer aux héros une menace parallèle à celle de l’Empire.
Description: The series equips Doctor Aphra with both a new crew and a new mission set in the aftermath of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. With the Rebel Alliance back on the run after their defeat at the Battle of Hoth, it’s never been a more dangerous time for outlaws, scoundrels and the errant rogue archaeologist to make their way in the galaxy. But after a string of bad luck and near escapes, Doctor Aphra has been keeping a low profile – jobs are scarce and credits scarcer. But the promise of the score of a lifetime is just too good for her to pass up.
