    Mara Jade was Timothy Zahn’s character creation, introducing her along side of Grand Admiral Thrawn in the trilogy that officially started the EU continuity, which Lucas referred to as being the sequels in book form. Not only was that trilogy one of the best regarded series of Legends, but Mara and Thrawn were two of the most popular characters from the post Return of the Jedi era EU. Lucasfilm even commissioned a limited action figure of Mara and hired a model for their photo shot pictures and promotional material. And then they nerfed her and later wrote her character off without informing Zahn or giving him the honor to write that himself.

      @@mikelachey824 They are using it for plot ideas. They should just bring it back as an alternate timeline, then use that as a guide as they pave the way to where the state of things by the time of the sequels make sense.
      Example:
      It’s 30 aby. Events transpire in the Mandoverse so that the Yuuzhan Vong never launched a full scale invasion. Luke recently lost his love or wife do to the sudden onset of a mysterious illness and died shortly after. (if not Mara, then another like her. Keira? Maybe their relationship ship led to a fall out with Leia, so Han left). Seemingly believing that Ben either knew something about it or might have had something to do with it since he had been acting different as of late in the wake of the lose of his sister (or brother) a few years earlier fighting off a Yuuzhan Vong infiltration and monitoring task force. He goes to confront Ben about it because he’s so worked up that he can’t even sleep. He realizes that he was wrong or acted wrongly and it pushed Ben to the Darkside. With that and still being heart broken over his lose, he don’t put up much of a fight. He learns that there is a Darkside force user waiting in the shadows for the Jedi to fall. Some of his Jedi survive, but they don’t know that. He tells them to go into hiding , just as he does and waits to buy time for Leia and Han to build up an alliance sort of task force just in case. He knows that eventually he may need to sacrifice himself to bring them, the Darkside master out of the shadows. Rey shows up just as he was able to get busy. And relives that she is his daughter, whom he wanted to keep out of all of this, or perhaps the lose of her mother was too traumatic for her and also that her life was in danger, so he wiped her memory and dumped her off for a few years.
      Meanwhile, Ben had taking his turn as to infiltrate the First Order as a double agent so that he find out their plan and whoever the Force user is that’s behind it. His turn against Luke and the Jedi was part of a ruse to convince the Knights of Ren. But as he commits more bad actions, it wears down his will and he eventual does fall to the Darkside.
      It turns out that Snoke is actually the canon version of Nom Anor. After Nom Anor is dealt with and Luke is dies (which completed Kylo’s fall to the Darkside), the Yuuzhan Vong make themselves known to the galaxy and start their invasion in mass. Luke sends Rey (along with Finn) to learn the ways of the Jedi from Leia.
      Luke’s remaining Jedi come out of hiding, led by Leia and the only other Jedi Master left. They take on the Knight’s of Ren and later the Yuuzhan Vong’ Overlord’s personal guard. Wedge Antilles what’s left New Republic’s military. While Lando leads the alliance that Han and Leia had been building. The First Order was driven on by a Yuuzhan Vong advanced wave. Nom Anor had usurped control of them. Finn takes on Capt Phasma who turns out to be a Yuuzhan Vong elite warrior. Supreme Overlord Shimrra takes Palpatine Reborn’s place. Kylo finishes him off and briefly returns to the light to save Rey. And then he is taken by surprise by Onimi. Rey barely manages to beat him. Leia had taken severe injuries while fighting Nom Anor and dies at the end, after granting Rey and Finn the rank of Jedi Knight, and passes on the Skywalker torch to her. Rey, Finn and the few surviving Jedi of Luke’s New Jedi Order, led by a sole Jedi Master who was one of Luke’s first students.
      15 years later, he died of old age and by the end of the next movie “the New Jedi Order’, Rey and Finn along with 3 others become Jedi Masters and reform the Jedi Council. Rey becomes honorary Jedi Grandmanster. Abeloth or something like her reveals itself.

Rogue One is based off of the very end of the 3rd Han Solo book but it cuts the connection that the main female character has with Han. There is just too much to go into for the main triology, but there is a lot of spots that you can tell they took from the EU books if you've read enough of them.

      The reason that they separated them is multifaceted, yet they all come back to Thucydides. Fear, pride, and self interest. Disney knew that they could not match nor just copy what was there. Their writers do not have the chops, and they haven't for years. They needed to "conquer" star wars and all that came from the originals. They wanted to make their audience dumb and disheartened enough to just consume product until next product. They are still pushing this. Even in spite of their record losses on all fronts. The do not understand the universe, nor do they care to adapt to the universe. They are Disney. They are master. It is a kingdom of ash and ruin. And until they are truly gone. Nothing shall change.

    Without going into an entire essay about it, THIS is one of the best examples of Luke in Legends being a better character than he was in Disney Canon. Like Obi-wan, Yoda, and many others, Luke realized that if he faced Jacen, he would kill him and become something worse than Darth Caedus. So he gave his trust and faith in those around him to make the right decisions, when he could not.

    His own nephew killed his wife... Mara Jade aint deserve to go out like that. Jacen was a manace, his twin sister Jaina had to go train with Boba Fett, and the Jedi battlemaster to get ready to kill her own brother. She used Mace Windu's Shatterpoint to help her defeat him. (I think she lost an arm or had it broken during the fight).

      it was Jacen/Cedus who lost an arm at first encounter, and fuelled by dark side continue fighting (8th book). In 9th book, Jaina returns to finish the job and after ward admits that she would not make it if Jacen still had two arms and that he's last thought was one of light, when reaching out through the force to his daughter and her mother.
      So he sort of has a redemption arc a bit like Anakin after all.

    There was so much more to this story. I loved the passage that had Luke walk into Jaicen's office and throw him out of his chair ignoring Jaicen's defense with The Force and pretty much telling Jaicen not to f**k around with THIS bull, absolutely terrifying Jaicen who thought he was closer to Luke's strength than he was.
    Luke wouldn't let Ben train under Jaicen because he thought Jaicen was Dark, but Mara convinced Luke he was wrong and let Ben become his apprentice. Mara viewed Jaicen as a lifeline because Ben feared learning The Force because of Abaloth's corruption of Jedi when he was a child in hiding. Ben looked up to Jaicen and wanted to learn from him and Jaicen wanted Ben to be his Apprentice and getting him with the help of Mara also served to make it personal for Mara who defended Jaicen against Luke.
    Luke was absolutely crushed when they found Mara's body and she hadn't manifested to him as a Force Ghost, believing she was unable to join The Force

      Anyway,..
      If I understood that passage right, Luke wasn’t even there. He either had projected himself on to someone else or had teleported. He was out in an X-wing flying cover for refugees that Jacen was pursuing. I remember thinking;
      “What?! How?!”
      That was part of what made Luke great. In his early days, absent of Jedi training resources, he sought out or ran into other Force using groups, learning some of their philosophies and abilities. Abilities that old Jedi Order had either long forgot or never knew.
      If I interpreted the scene right, then the sequels straight up ripped them off.

    You have your facts a little mixed up. Jason didn't have the mantle of Caedus until after he killed Mara. Lumiya had been working with him but his final test before being allowed to join the Sith was he had to make a sacrifice. A sacrifice of somebody he loved. That is how every Sith becomes a Sith. They have to make a personal sacrifice. Vader had to kill Anakin and sacrifice the Jedi. Jason had to make that sacrifice as well. Originally I believe Lumiya wanted him to kill Ben but Jason refused, hoping to one day turn Ben into his Sith apprentice. He also didn't have much love left for his folks or Jaina at that time so those sacrifices wouldn't have been impactful enough. But Jason had always been close with Mara. Her murder is what fully pushed him into the dark and made him Caedus.

    @Zarathusta 12 днів тому +1

    Thanks for covering this story. Yeah I always felt this was a rare Dark Side moment from Luke.
    This simplifies Mara finding out and making the choice to kill Jason. Mara made the choice to kill Jason because of the selfishness of being a Mother first. During the fight Jason was afraid of Mara because she wasn't using the Force but rather clever assassination trickery.
    The whole thing also gave us this weird dialogue about how Mara had never felt close to the Solo's anyways so she didn't really mind having to kill Jason. I felt that was odd since she was such a good Aunt during the NJO series and was one of the first family members to hug Jason when he got back from Vong space. But, whatever, different writers do different things I guess?
    lol yeah that trick with vanishing at the funeral really shocked me and made me think "Wow, Jason is so in trouble." when reading the novel for the first time.
    Edit
    I think I should point out that if memory serves Luke did fight Jason briefly while rescuing Ben from the Embrace of Pain. Luke was close to killing Jason without any real effort despite the Dark Lord's powers but refused when he foresaw that if he or Ben killed Jason then Ben would fall to the Dark Side and become an even more powerful Sith Lord than Jason.
    So Luke felt he did what Mara did and put his love for his son first. This vision was why he made Jaina slay her brother, something that weighed heavily on her afterwards.

    Technically Caedus did redeem himself at the very end, mid fight he paniced at the thought his lover and daughter were there and he went into protective mindset. Jaina saw it all and used that moment to make the hard decision. He may of still loved his own private family, but he was still a Sith, so she killed him.
    The only person to win was Boba Fett, who got to brake his arch enemy Solo's heart by making his kids kill each other.

    It's funny in a twisted sort of way.
    Disney decided to throw away thoughtful stories with compelling characters in favor of superficial ones and generally uninteresting ones.
    For over a decade, it pissed away the potential for billions of dollars that would dwarf peak MCEU in
    movies
    shows
    comics
    merchandise
    in the pursuit of an ideologically driven "message" that generations of fans, current and potential, are not as invested in compared to the success of the material which prompted Disney to buy Star Wars in the first place.
    Again. I'm not saying Disney hasn't made money:
    it has.
    But there is no denying the success of the IP based on storytelling over marketing an ideologically driven narrative.

    Jacen learned of this through a vision and later he was able to clear his way through future potentialities via an ability which he called “Flow Walking”, and some of what he did, he did to save his daughter.
    However, that scene where Luke confronted him was awesome in that, if I remember understood it right, Luke wasn’t even there. He was out in his X-Wing.
    And the sequels ripped that off. But they should’ve went further; making making Kylo more like Jacen and Rey more like his sister Jaina, And having the reason for why Luke made that fateful visit to a sleeping Ben all those years earlier and why he retreated into exile being in part due to loosing his love or wife and he had originally believed that Ben had something to do with that, and then making the reason for why he did not initially want to train Rey being that she was either Luke or Leia’s daughter and either being that he since he had failed with her brother and he would fail with her too or that he wanted to protect her from who ever killed his lover or because she had been particularly devastated by the lose of her mother and so he wiped the memory of her parents from her mind and sent her off into hiding as to have her away from him or something. I mean, if they have a personal issue with Mara Jade, it’s not like they don’t have other similar female characters in the new canon to fill that roll. Keira for instance. Make her Keira and after Luke meet her, they fell in love for a time, meanwhile her return had and her and Luke’s relationship drove a wedge between Han and Luke and Han and Leia, so he left.

    I HATED that novel (Sacrifice). Written by Karen Traviss, a Star Wars writer who obviously hated Jedi and Sith, Force Users and The Force itself and who thought Mandalorians were the end all, be all in SW.
    She wrote Mara wildly out of character. Mara, who was a great Jedi Master in her own right and had long moved on from her days as a Hand decides to forget that, go full Emperor's assasin to kill her own nephew without telling her husband what she was doing, where she was going or even that she was leaving. Traviss basically had Luke asleep through most of that novel. Badly written end to a great character.

    About a third of what you said is incorrect.
    Lumiya was an Acolyte, not a Lady.
    Jacen did not become Caedus until AFTER he killed Mara.
    Jacen killed Mara in self defense.
    The fight was one sided in Mara's favor, and he beat her using the ammo from her own gun.
    While Lumiya and Vergere were sith, they were FAR from the last, as about five thousand still existed, trapped on the planet Kesh, and the "one Sith" cult, who ignored (and were ignored by) the Baneite Sith, were still at large, and also numbered in the thousands.
    Jacen thought he could take Luke, if he could face him 1v1, but at first he didn't want to.
    Luke wanted to bring Jacen in. He had no intention of killing him, but he didn't want to ignore him either.
    ... just where are you getting your information?
