Although Mara Jade isn't currently part of Star Wars canon, she remains a fascinating character in the franchisebut who is she really? When Disney purchased Star Wars, many books, characters, and story arcs were removed from the canon and relegated to Legends (often controversially). Disney then streamlined the franchise into Star Wars canon movies and TV shows, creating the canon Star Wars timeline.

While Disney's acquisition led to some of Star Wars' best TV shows, from Andor to The Mandalorian, this did mean a few disappointing changes. One such change was the removal of Mara Jade, Luke Skywalker's Legends wife and a powerful Force-user in her own right, from the canon. However, Legends revealed a significant amount of information about Mara Jade, which could have interesting implications for Star Wars moving forward.
