Why name her Mara Jade? Cant these guys come up with new characters?
Or maybe it's the same character and she makes different choices or different things happen to her. A character is defined by more than banging Luke fucking Skywalker.

Oh i feel the same way about Thrawn. The fact that they are doing another trilogy of books with him is just....ugh.

You discarded already a trilogy of books with him.

They had to discard everything, not because it was bad (there was anything from great to bad in th ext uni), but because they wanted a clean slate. Thrawn was a great idea/character, so they rebooted him. Makes perfect sense.

So you have a problem with his arc in Rebels and the trilogy that already exists about him? You'd rather just not use a great character just because the events are different?

Where do you bring her in at this point? We’re done with Luke. Don’t see how it could be done?
Many complained about Solo saying it could have been an awesome film about a new character instead of an average film made more disappointing because it was Han Solo and by that alone it should have been awesome.

If they’ve done inquisitors and thrawn etc it’s really late in the game to start telling stories about the emperors hand. People will also ask hang on, wasn’t Vader the emperors hand?

The latest thrawn book had the emperor and Tarkin and Krennic in it. That would have been the place if any.

Don’t see them ever bringing her into it. Don’t see how that they can

Or just set the story somewhere in all that space between III & IV or IV & V ... or alter her character a bit and make her someone who helped start the First Order. Maybe she worked with Snoke. Maybe Snoke usurped her.

There are literally thousands of options. It doesn't have to be the way it was once upon a time, is all I'm saying.

Nah it won’t happen. Many give her her own comic series as the hand? That could work. Keep all things skywalker out of it though. An keep Skywalkers cock out of her too mainly.

I still dont get why you guys want a mara jade thats not:

- The emperor´s hand

- luke girl

I mean, why call this character MARA JADE?? Even Thrawn came back as the same character they tossed out. Why make an entire new character and called her Mara Jade?

I still don't get why you have a problem understanding this.

Because you are changing basically the core aspects of Mara Jade.

You want a new different character with the same name.
