Although, none of that matters now because Disney erased this continuity to give us terrible bullshit like The Last Jedi.Īnyway, for old school fans of the EU, which is still my canon, this is a pivotal chapter in the franchise post-Original Trilogy.
Jade would eventually marry Skywalker and become one of the most powerful Jedis in Star Wars lore.
This book served to flesh out her backstory and to strengthen her character. That all comes in the Zahn stories later though but this was a solid setup for that moment and since Zahn was one of the writers of this comic series, he painted the picture that he intended for Mara Jade.Īt the time that this was published, Mara Jade was really popular with fans because of her first appearance in those Zahn novels (and later comic adaptations). However, the rest of the story shows Mara get captured and imprisoned by Ysanne Isard, one of the best EU characters from the era, go on to get revenge on some other characters and pretty much just fill in the blanks between Return of the Jedi and where she is once she appears in Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy, where she does finally encounter Luke. She then must carry out the Emperor’s revenge mission and kill Luke herself. Mara Jade is in Jabba’s Palace when Luke Skywalker arrives and she also witnesses the death of her master at the hands of Luke and his father, Darth Vader. In fact, the first third of the story takes place alongside the events of Return of the Jedi.
It is wedged between Shadows of the Empire and Shadows of the Empire – Evolution in the Shadows of the Empire Omnibus. This six issue series is the middle part of the Shadows of the Empire trilogy. Written by: Timothy Zahn, Michael Stackpole, Jan Duursema, John Ostrander
