Okay. I’m likely going to get salty in this article. Warning you upfront. Disney is now trying to use Mara Jade to make some money. This is coming across as a desperate attempt to cash in on a fan base they flushed down the toilet when they bought Lucasfilm and made their sequel trilogy.

Who is Mara Jade?

For those who don’t know, Mara Jade is was a major character in the Expanded Universe. She was the Emperor’s Hand in the first sequel books back in the early 1990s. The books that everyone wished Disney would have used for the sequel trilogy – Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command.

Later on she became Luke Skywalker’s wife. A Skywalker who actually got the name legitimately.

Mara Jade was a powerful, important, and popular character for years until Disney decided to flush all of it.
