Not sure how they can't do this, unless they retcon the ST away.

I have zero faith in their ability to make a decent Mara, after seeing them ruin Thrawn in Ahsoka

No kidding. About the only one you could keep is TFA; anything after that and the amount of editing to get character development would basically make her a different person.

Just makes me wonder if Disney can shelve the egos long enough to retcon their sequels.

Just give me the Dash Rendar movie I’ve been wanting since circa 1996.

I've always contended this is the only way forward and it's not as crazy as it sounds. However it will obviously never happen while Kathleen Kennedy is in charge.

It's about damned time. Vader effectively carried the mantle of Hand of the Emperor in a SW where Mara Jade didn't exist.

They should have made her part of the sequel trilogy and had Luke be able to live a happy life at some point.

but then they wouldn't have been able to destroy the foundation and rebuild to the modern audience. the eradication of the OG characters was by intentional design

Yup

It's Disney Star Wars, so I feel like I know all the character traits she will have

Right I'm most upset by how shitty Lukes life was. His arc is better if he just stays on Tatooine. Life after being a hero is shite. For him

Luke's "canon" arc pales in comparison to the world build for his in the EU.

"Legends", my arse.

One of the most badass females and redemption arcs in the EU Star Wars.

I was pretty pissed when they didn’t use her initially.

There is no way they will do her justice.

It will be a character in name only.

Luke was done so dirty. Han, too.

Leia got to be a badass general and an invulnerable Space Jesus.

Luke is a hopeless and a washed up piece of shite.

Han is a deadbeat Dad, and needs a little girl to fix the ship he has been in for 35 years.

Retconning the ST is the only way forward

The Zahn trilogy was near perfect. Maybe tweak the cloned dark jedi villian. But Thrawn and force blocking creatures was a great addition.

I thought Jedi Academy Trilogy was the absolute perfect place to go for the ST.

They are probably going to use it with Rey, which will be embarrassing.

She has almost no training to impart, aside from a few days playing with rocks.

She is ALL the limits of Disney's creative ability
